remnant tablet of "Zhao Hou Xiao Zi"


Explanation:
This is a trick phrase. For some historical damage, this tablet only has the lower part remained. People name it by the first four Chinese Characters on the tablet, which are "朝侯小子".
They pronounced like "Zhao Hou Xiao Zi".
So I would prefer this version better.
