Cao'e Stele
During the Eastern Han Dynasty in the year 143, Cao E drowned at the age of 13 in the Shun River while trying to save her father from drowning. In the year 151, a temple and a stele was made for her to honor Cao E. The original stele was lost over time but in the year 1093 (Northern Song Dynasty), Cai Bian (蔡卞) made a replacement stele. This stele is 2.1 metres high and 1 metre wide and is entitled: "The stele of Cao E, the filial piety daughter" and has become a historical monument. The stele is placed in the Cao'e Temple in the Shangyu District, Shaoxing in the northeast of Zhejiang Province in China.[1][2]
