The door plaque of Wuling Gate

When determining the placement of inscriptions by Chiang Kai-shek and Yu Youren, someone asked Chiang Kai-shek how to place them. Jiang Xiaoxian first put forward: "Of course, President Jiang's inscription is in front." Chiang Kai-shek frowned and said, "What do you know?" Then, he explained to the manager, "Yu Xiansheng is a great calligrapher and a veteran of our party. Put his inscription in front. " Later, Yu Youren saw that the word "Wuling" inscribed by Chiang Kai-shek was quite vigorous and powerful, and sighed: "I know the greatness of Commander-in-Chief Jiang!"

Wuling gatehouse is magnificent, and the word "Wuling" on its forehead was inscribed by Yu Youren. Inside the gatehouse, there is also the word "Wuling", which is still written by Jiang Shi, and the font is in the middle, which is quite impressive. Why is Wu Ling, the subject of Yu Youren, outside? It turned out that in 1930, the headmaster of Wuling Middle School asked Jiang to write the word Wuling first, and the rest of Wuling was sent later. Ask Jiang for advice. How to put these two words? Without thinking, Jiang replied, "Yu Youren is a calligrapher, and his inscription should be placed outside." The word "Wuling" is unique in hand carving. In addition to carving completely according to the written words, it is also to carve concave glyphs from hard "bluestone". Difficult, people call this glyph "Yin". After the founding of New China, in order to remove the "legacy" left by Chiang Kai-shek, Xikou people could not bear to lose the word "Wuling", so they thought of a way to paint it literally with cement, and the word Wuling was hidden. 1979, an opening to the outside world, blew off the cement on the "Yin". Chiang Kai-shek's relics have been restored one after another, and the original "Wuling" inscribed by Yu Youren and Chiang Kai-shek reappears in front of tourists.
