The characters cast in the Fortune Hall of Taihe Palace

There are many inscriptions on the skirt plates of the partition panels in the ancient copper hall, each with different contents. The inscription we see has over a hundred characters and is engraved in dark. On the 15th day of the seventh lunar month in the 11th year of the Dade era of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the birthday of the Earth official, the "Zhongyuan Festival", Tong Shiyi and his wife from Zhupai Gate, Wuchang, Hubei Province, along with the entire family of Wang Chaorui, donated funds to cast a bronze statue in the ancient bronze hall for permanent worship. As the good fruit of their present life, we pray for their prosperity and prosperity in the hereafter and for them to always live in good fortune. And a grand ceremony was held to place and pay homage. This inscription holds significant historical value. It confirms that the statues in the ancient copper hall originated from the common people, and the original location of the hall was on the top of the Tianzhu Peak. It also confirms that the fundraising activities of Wudang Mountain in the Yuan Dynasty reached Wuchang and that there was widespread worship of the True Wu Emperor in society at that time. It provides genuine and reliable materials for the study of the history of Taoism in Wudang.
