Inscribed couplet at the tomb of Yue Fei
岳飞 (Southern Song general, executed 1142) at
岳王庙 beside West Lake in Hangzhou:
青山有幸埋忠骨，
白铁无辜铸佞臣 (Green hills are fortunate to hold loyal bones; innocent white iron is forced to cast treacherous ministers). The 'white iron' refers to the cast-iron kneeling statues of Qin Hui
秦桧 and his wife, whose frame-up killed Yue Fei - pilgrims traditionally spat on them.
