Summary
| Description |
English: According to local legend, the Fang Kung Shih, or Duke Fang Stone is possibly a fragment from the base of the pillar which Fang Kung set up uopn his altar for worshipping God. Or it was his kneeling stone, on which he used to kneel at his daily worship. The inscription reads: "Ta Ming Ch'en hua, third year, (i.e., A.D. 1467)... Ch'ai and others. To record that the T'ang dynasty Prime Minister FANG... having been dismissed from his office as prime minister, became Prefect (Tz'i Shih) of Hanchow, and set up this Stone. It is now named Duke Fang Stone. — Wang Yin, Judge; Hsu Ning, Head Constable." The no longer extant T'ang-dynasty Nestorian stele at Wang Hsiang T'ai temple in Hanchow had Fang Kung's name upon it, which confirmed his Christian identity. The earlier name for Wang Hsiang T'ai temple was "Ching Fu Yuan", as in "Ching Chiao" (i.e., Nestorian Church in China). Photo extracted from Journal of the West China Border Research Society (vol. VI; 1933–1934), between page 208 and page 209; researcher: V. H. Donnithorne. See also "Church of the East in Szechwan". |
