The lower part of the stele is eroded and worn, with many characters no longer discernible. Only over 80 characters remain clear and intact, arranged in twelve lines, with 18-19 characters per line. The stele has a dragon head and turtle base, a unique style among extant Han Dynasty steles. It was carved in April of the Guanghe 6th year (183 AD) of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The stele features well-proportioned and meticulous calligraphy, representing the mature clerical script of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
