The "Chronicle of the Stele of Cai Weng" in Daoguang years of the Qing Dynasty in Jiajiang County summarizes it as the twenty-four characters: "Cut the bamboo, remove the green part, soak it in lime, boil it with fire, wash it with water, pound it with a mortar, scoop it with a screen, and brush it on the wall".
