Huang Yungu 黄雲鵠 (1819-1898)
先文節公以涪州别駕安置戎州，寓蜀最久，風節人所共知。生平詩法一尊杜文貞。光緒甲申[1884]，大府援陸放翁附祀之例，列公位于杜公左方，特舉亦公義也。
[黄]雲鵠世系為公三十九代裔孙，《谱牒》昭然，不敢引嫌自匿，尤不敢忘大府表彰前德之盛意，谨摹公像，立石座前，用伸忻仰，并識緣起於後。
“Lord Wenji [i.e., Huang Tingjian] was the Administrative Aide (biejia 别駕) of Fuzhou 涪州 and settled down in Rongzhou 戎州. He lived in Sichuan for the longest time and the strength of his character was common knowledge. His life of poetry revered Du Wenzhen [i.e., Du Fu]. In the jiashen cyclical year of the Guangxu reign [1884], the dafu official [i.e., Ding Baozhen 丁寶楨, the Governor-general of Sichuan] followed Lu Fangweng [i.e., Lu You 陸游] example of associated sacrifices and placed the lord to the left of Du Fu . . . . [Huang] Yungu, a 39th generation descendant of the lord, as made clear in the Pudie [geneology record], does not dare to face resentment and hid [this familial relationship], yet he cannot but not forget the generosity of dafu official honoring [the lord’s] former virtues. He respectfully traced the lord’s image, erected the stele and sat in front in reverence, and recorded the account [of this project] on the back.
Description
Standing figure of a bearded man with his sleeved arms held together in front. Huang Yungu was a remote descendant of Huang Tingjian 黃庭堅 (1045-1105). The pictorial stone that this rubbing was taken from is presently stored in the Gongbu Ci 工部祠shrine at the Du Fu Cottage 杜甫草堂, Sichuan.
