You could try posting a blurry picture – even a bad one might give people a clue. Maybe someone on a forum dedicated to @Beijing's history or even an archaeology subreddit could help. There are some seriously knowledgeable folks out there who pore over old maps and inscriptions. It's a long shot, but worth a try! Good luck cracking the code!

Thanks for the encouragement!
