Talk:Shaolin Monastery Stele

Discovered
It feels wrong to me to say that massive tablets that have been on display since 728 were "discovered" by Du Mu in 1513. The source document might well be correct in terms of him going there and documenting them, but even it explicitly says he went there to see these ancient texts, so he obviously already knew of them.

These weren't lost under rubble.

(In general the whole article could also use a clean up of the text, I assume it is a translation- it conveys great information, but isn't in as fluid English as it could be. I might try to get to it when I find some time!)
