Cao'e Stele

During the Eastern Han Dynasty in the year 143, Cao E drowned at the age of 13 in the Shun River because she wanted to save her father from drowning. She did this because of filial piety. After this act she was given the nickname 曹孝女; Cao Xiaonu (Cao, the filial piety daughter). 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]
