Monk Reading Scriptures Introduction
On the hillside of "Er Li Point" in Xiyin Island stands a giant rock. Looking west from Zhongzhu Harbor, the rock resembles a deeply composed monk, observing worldly affairs with a calm demeanor, quietly reading scriptures. As a result, the local residents named it "Monk Reading Scriptures." From the heights of Er Li Point, "Monk Reading Scriptures" overlooks the various types of vessels entering and exiting Zhongzhu Harbor. During sunset, the sky is filled with rosy hues, and viewing "Monk Reading Scriptures" from Nanao enhances the beauty of the sunset. Thus, in the 1960s, when Lin Cangpu, the deputy commander of the First Maritime Safety Division, gazed at "Monk Reading Scriptures," he couldn't help but recite a poem: "With excitement, I land on Monk Mountain, silent as scriptures while waters flow gently; green rocks and withered grass in the slanting sunset, I lazily ask the eastward stream where it flows back."
