The Harvard Bixi is a 17-foot high, 27 ton Chinese marble stele with a turtle pedestal located at Harvard University, north of Boylston Hall and west of Widener Library in Harvard Yard, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The stele was presented to the university by the Chinese Harvard Alumni for its Tercentenary in September 1936.〔The President and Fellows of Harvard College. ''The Tercentenary of Harvard College: A Chronicle of the Tercentenary Year 1935-1936''. Harvard University Press, 1937. p. 138.〕 == History == The Bixi was created ca. 1820 in Beijing, and the stele was originally a gift from the Jiaqing Emperor to Songjun (松筠), the governor-general of Jiangsu and Jiangxi.〔Shand-Tucci, Douglass & Richard Cheek. (''Harvard University: an architectural tour'' ). Princeton Architectural Press, 2001. p. 153.〕 Although the original inscription was unknown, the stele was kept in the Old Summer Palace in Beijing until the complex was destroyed in 1860, during the Second Opium War.〔("Studying the Stele" ), Harvard Magazine, November–December 2012〕 The meticulous carvings of dragons chasing pearls on the sides and top of the marble tablet are the only traces that indicate the stele’s imperial past.
