Introduction to Bixi Imperial Monuments: Under the south wall of Chikan Tower, the most eye-catching thing is the nine Bixi Imperial Monuments lined up in a row - "The imperial system annihilated the Taiwanese rebels and captured Lin Shuangwen's account full of words ( Han) text monument". In the 51st year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, Lin Shuangwen of the Tiandihui raised troops in Taiwan and started a rebellion. The Qing Dynasty quickly ordered Fu Kang'an, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, to lead his troops to Taiwan to quell the chaos. In the fifty-third year of Qianlong's reign (1788), the war was calmed down. Emperor Qianlong was very happy and wrote five poems to commemorate the event. He also made ten steles and turtle bases, four of which were fully engraved in Manchu and four were fully inscribed in Chinese. The seats are filled with inscriptions in Chinese characters. In 1950, these ancient monuments were moved to their current location and became the focus of Chikan Tower's attention.
