Lukang Shiyilou Introduction
The Shiyi Building is a favorite spot for poets and literati, known for its historical connection to artistic gatherings. In the early days, Lukang's literary culture thrived, attracting many refined scholars to convene during serene nights for poetry recitals or tea under the moonlight. The owner of the Shiyi Building was a very hospitable gentleman who constructed a running corridor between two connected floors, allowing guests to lean against the railings and gaze at the moon from a high vantage point. It is worth noting that the running corridor of Shiyi Building intersects with Jinsheng Lane, and this location is deemed suitable for "qin (musical instrument), chess, poetry, wine, painting, flowers, moon, gaming, smoke, and tea," hence the name Shiyi Building.
