In front of the "Loyal Servants and Filial Pieties" monument, tourists are talking about the practice of Chen Tailai's calligraphy. Chen Tailai, the character just long, is a native of Qiaoxiwanli Village, Yifeng Tanshan Town, Jiangxi. Chongzhen entered the fourth year (1631). It is said that Chen Tailai was promoted from Xuancheng Zhi County to Huke Shizhong, and in the winter of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen (1642), he went to the emperor to detail his opinions on the confrontation against the Qing and the war situation, and the emperor greatly praised it and changed it to the military section to Shizhong.

In April of the following year (1543), he led troops to resist the Qing army at Luanzhou, Lulong, and Qian'an. Within ten days, 50 forts were built, and in April of that year, a monument of "Loyal Servants and Filial Pieties" was erected on the left side of the south gate of Yiqi Temple. When the Qing army approached the Luan River, seeing that Yongping was tightly defended, held on to each other for half a month without being vulnerable, and had to roll up their armor and return, Tai lai secretly pursued Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan. At the wall of Lingnan Yukou and the Qing army, three victories in one day. Chen Tailai was promoted to the rank of Right Counselor for his military exploits.　　

In order to resist the Qing army moving south, on May 15, 1644, Zhu Yousong, the king of Southern Mingfu, declared himself emperor in Nanjing, changing his name to Yuan Hongguang. When Chen Tailai heard this news, with a determination to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, he went straight to Nanjing, and was left by Zhu Yousong to serve in the Punishment Department. The Ming And Tang Dynasty king Zhu Yujian made him a shaoqing of the Taibu Temple, and ordered him to guard Jiangxi with Wan Yuanji. After the collapse of King Fu's regime, in the leap june of the second year of Shunzhi (1645), The Tang King Zhu Yujian proclaimed himself Emperor of Fuzhou and Jianyuan Longwu. When the Tang king wanted to resist the Qing, his first thought was to rely on Chen Tailai's strength, so he promoted Chen Tailai to the position of Zuo Youdu Yushi and authorized him to oversee the anti-Qing rebels in Jiangxi.　　

Later, the anti-Qing rebel army was defeated, and Chen Tailai and the leader of the rebel army, Yuan Yingmeng (Xinchang), fled into the Huang Ancestral Hall. The Qing army set fire to the shrine, and the two martyred together. Its descendants are divided into Changsha and other places.
