  1. The Gwanggaeto-wangneungbi stele, erected by King Jangsu in 414, became known again after the Qing dynasty lifted its ban in 1876, and a rubbing of it reached Japan in 1883.
  2. The stele stands 6.39 meters tall and weighs 37 tons, with 1,775 characters carved into it, about 150 of which are illegible; it is located in Ji'an, Jilin Province, China.
  3. Debate among Korea, China and Japan has continued over the interpretation of the Sinmyo passage and claims that Japanese forces altered the plaster, but most scholars today say there is no evidence of systematic tampering.
