The Fanmin Statue and Stone Tablet are located in Modong Village, two kilometers south of Lushan County in Sichuan Province.
Fan Min, born in Fanjiasi of Lushan County, lived between 120 and 203 in the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220) and served as deputy governor of Yongchang County. The statue of Fan Min, which was built in 205, later collapsed, but the left side of the statue was restored in 1958. There are two well-preserved stone beasts standing in front of the statue, Tianlu and Bixie. The top of the statue is lined with five ridges and a carving of Hercules with both hands held up high. Under the eaves are embossments of the dragon and his nine sons; the dragon, with raised head and tail, is carrying nine sons on his back.
Standing next to the statue is the 2.5-by-1.7-meter Fanmin Tablet. A line of seal characters is engraved at the center that reads: the Tablet of Sir Fan, Late Prefect of the Han Dynasty. An epigraph is inscribed beneath it.
