The cliff stone is carved on a protruding Lashi which is 22 meters away from the surface of the mountain. There is a crack from the top to the bottom of the Lashi, which splits the stone wall into two parts. The stele on the west side is about 2 meters high and 1 meter wide. Facing the southeast and East, it is engraved with Nuzhen characters, ranging from 4 to 15 characters per line. There are 3 lines of 14 Nuzhen characters in the upper left convex part. According to the translation of Sun Jin, it is said that on May 5, the second year of the founding of the people's Republic of China, iwen Hetai led his family and tribe to the source of fan'an'er. Many of them were captured, so Mou Ke became a "learning director".
