Qing Dynasty temples

There are many temple shriney places which consist of a large temple building with 4 totem pole things around them and a giantic turtle carrying a large stone slab with writings in two languages on it inside the temples. One language is old Chinese and the other one is called mam. Its from the old nation of Mam Zu. The writing is done vertically like old Chinese except the characters appear arabic/Japanese in style. The writing is about the person who lays in the tomb ahead. So cool. Most chinese are Han Zu. Mam Zu exists still but is rare. China has 56 nations.
