Yu Da-you, also known as Xu-jiang, assumed the post of commander of Kinmen garrison troop as a qualified candidate of national martial examination. In his free time, General Yu frequently ascended the rocky cliff south of the city in the company of local celebrities or subordinates to rest and view the ocean. He then wrote Xu-Jiang-Xiao-Wo, literally meaning Xu-jiang himself shouting and lying here, to express his emotion and will. Later on, characters, big and small, have been inscribed on nearby rocks, making the most abundant inscribed rock groups on the island of Kinmen.
