In 2002, it was unearthed in Shaolingyuan, Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province, and is now stored in the Forest of Steles Museum in Xi'an.
Among the Northern Wei Dynasty epitaphs collected by the Forest of Steles in Xi'an, the vast majority of them come from the "Mandarin Duck Qizhi Zhai Collection Stone" donated by Yu Youren, which is very rare in Shaanxi, so the "Epitaph of Zhao Chaozong" is very precious, especially from which we can observe the difference between the epitaphs of the Northern Wei Dynasty unearthed in Luoyang and Xi'an in terms of style and engraving.
"Zhao Chaozong's Epitaph" is knotted on the side, with a pen square, knife work, with a typical Wei tablet style, and different from the "Luoyang style" of Chang'an.
