Xiao Men Village·Iron Accretion Stone Tower Introduction
Shigantang Appearance: Tower-shaped Shigantang Stele Inscription: Symbol Total Height: 2.30M Circumference: 5.70M Construction Form: Conical Tower Top Ornament: Bottle-shaped Xiaomen Village is commonly known as "Wangxing Qishan," surrounded by low areas where villagers choose to reside according to the terrain, thus constructing the tower to guard the mountain spirits and prevent the intrusion of negative energies into the village. Another version states that a local villager with the surname Xu went to this hillside to dig with a hoe, triggering the mountain spirit, which led to mental illness and incoherent speech. Following the instruction of Lord Wang from Wenfu, a stone tower was erected to suppress the mountain spirit and protect the residents' safety. The Tieshuashi Tower is situated on a hill west of Xiaomen Village and serves to guide fishing boats in and out of the fishing port. Data source: Oral tradition from local elders of Xiaomen Village, partially extracted from the book "The Exorcism and Blessing Towers of Penghu."
