The precept stone inscription of Yexian County Government is the only monument-style official motto in the county government. The monument is 2.1 meters high, 1.28 meters wide and 20 centimeters thick. In July 1997, when Ye County was repairing and cleaning up the foundation of the county government office, it was discovered that there was a monument pedestal in the middle of the corridor in front of the lobby, which was verified to be a stone monument. There is a record in "Ye County Chronicle·Official Office" of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty that "Jie Shi Pavilion is inside Yimen", and the restored Yexian County Government Office was built in the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (AD 1369). As the county government in Ming Dynasty, Jie Shi Pavilion was In the middle of the corridor, it is consistent with historical records. On the front of the stele "Jie Shi Ming" are the three characters "Gong Sheng Ming", and on the back is an official motto written by Huang Tingjian, a famous calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty and a former county lieutenant in Ye County. The content is: "Your salary, your salary, your people. "Anointing the people with fat will make it easy for the people to be abused, but it is difficult for heaven to deceive them." This is an official aphorism, which comes from Meng Chang, the leader of Later Shu. He himself was "arrogant and extravagant", but he was determined to rectify the government, so he wrote it himself in the fourth year of Guangzheng (941 AD). Sentence 24 of "Ling Zhi": "I miss my innocent son, and I have food and clothing at night... Your salary and salary are the blessings of the people. As parents of the people, you must be kind. Encourage you as a warning, and let me think deeply."
< p>According to historical records, the establishment of precept stone inscriptions began in the Song Dynasty, initiated by Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. After the establishment of the Song Dynasty, he summarized the historical lessons of Shu's defeat without a fight and took four sentences from Meng Chang, the leader of Later Shu, in his "Precepts" and ordered officials at all levels across the country to use them as admonitions. Zhezong of the Song Dynasty also wrote the "Jie Stone Inscription" as a gift to the county. In June of the second year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 1132), Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty issued the Taizong Imperial Stone Inscription written by Huang Tingjian to the counties and counties. He ordered the chief official to carve the courtyard stone and place it on the right side of the seat as a morning and evening precept. From then on, the yellow book "Jie Shi Ming" spread all over the country and became a famous aphorism in officialdom. There were no more changes in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, but there were some changes in form. In the Song Dynasty, people placed the stele "Jie Shi Ming" on the right side of the seat, while in the Ming Dynasty they placed it on the corridor and engraved the two characters "Jie Shi" on the top of the stele. In the early Qing Dynasty, the "Jie Shi Ming" was moved to the stele pavilion. Placed in the corridor in the middle of the lobby, the two characters "Jie Shi" were also replaced by the three characters "Gong Sheng Ming". Later, the standing stone was changed into an archway, and the inscriptions were still written according to the stone carvings. The setting of the "Jie Stone Inscription" has the meaning of the ancients "engraved on a plate, diligent with a few sticks, and always thinking about it without any trouble". It is a feudal emperor's statement of restraint on local officials, so that they can be grateful and self-motivated. A means of exorcising good from evil. Standing in front of the lobby, the staff of the department can look up when entering and exiting, especially when hearing cases, so as to achieve the effect of self-reflection at all times. But in fact, this inscription without any legal restrictions is just a piece of paper, which cannot stop some officials from their strong desire for profit. Although there have been punishments for those who have corrupted and violated the law, such as rod punishment, exile, gang leader and even skinning in the past dynasties, those who corrupt and violate the law are still punished. Quite a few.Many people see the stone inscription in their eyes, but what they think of in their hearts is sensuality
