Han Ying Cloud Root Rock Introduction
Located on the southern side of Lake Gugang, Xiantai Mountain is one of the stone inscription sites of Ming Dynasty's King Lu. The regent King Lu resided on Kinmen Island for over ten years in order to restore the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty. The inscription, carved during the 6th to 8th years of the Yongli reign (1652-1654), reflects his sentiments and has been designated as a county historic site. The current Han Shadow Cloud Root Stele consists of two pieces with upright and reversed inscriptions. According to legend, the original stele was positioned on a slope but later collapsed, resulting in the inversion of the characters; thus, later generations sought similar rock formations for rubbings, leading to the creation of the Han Shadow Cloud Root Stele with upright and reversed inscriptions.
