Why are the stone tablets of Confucius Temple in Qufu mostly broken?

"Yi Ying Bei (02)" Description: In the first year of Emperor Yongxing of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a stone tablet was carved in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, Shandong Province. It is recorded in the "Yiying Monument" that Lu Xiang Yiying requested the establishment of a "History of Hundred Stones" in the Confucius Temple to be responsible for the public redemption of sacrifices. The full name of this monument is "Lu Han Xiang Yi Ying Shi Zu Bei", also referred to as "Shi Zu Bei" or "Yi Ying Bei". According to Jin Bian, this monument is seven feet eight inches five minutes high and three feet seven inches wide, with eighteen lines and forty characters. Later generations regarded "Ritual Monument", "Shi Chenbei" and "Yiying Monument" as the three famous monuments of Confucius Temple.

The photocopied rubbings of Yi Bu Bei (02) are among the best rubbings of the middle Ming Dynasty in the Palace Museum.
