The tablet was erected in 809 during Tang Dynasty (618-907), and it was so named as Three Uniqueness because of the article which was written by the great statesman and the prime minister Pei Du, the calligraphy from the famous calligrapher Liu Gongchao, and the best engraving on the tablet by famed tablet master Lu Jian.
