Three standing moon-shaped slate pillars mark the long history of Taitung, originating from the Beinan culture 5,000 years ago! The moon-shaped stone pillar is located in the Beinan Cultural Heritage Park, near the Taitung Railway Station, and is part of the Beinan Cultural Heritage Site! The site is about 5,300 to 2,300 years ago and is the largest prehistoric settlement discovered in Taiwan. Many slate coffins and exquisite burial objects were unearthed from it, making it the largest slate coffin tomb group in the Pacific Rim.

Since the discovery of the stone pillars in 1896, it has shocked the archaeological community and aroused the interest of many scholars in the study of stone pillars. Most of them believe that the purpose of the stone pillars is related to architecture. This is still used today. Some people still regard the stone pillars as the gables of houses. Or part of a beam or column, but the code on the stone column clearly shows: "North by East 30°". After comparison, it was confirmed that the long axes of the stone pillars and the prehistoric building foundations are parallel to each other. Assuming that the stone pillars are located inside the house, it will cause the house to be too high. At the same time, the axial direction of the stone pillars does not conform to the gables or beams. direction, so this argument cannot be established. Since the stone pillars and houses are arranged towards the northeast-southwest, and given the geographical location of the Beinan site, which is close to the mountains and faces the sea, the houses should face the Pacific Ocean. When the sun rises from the sea level, the sunlight will shine on the houses and stone pillars. Another code indicating that the pillars may be related to the sun. Looking for this clue, people can't help but think about the relationship between the sun and stone pillars. The daily rise and fall of the sun represents the cycle of day and night, so why are stone pillars erected to show the rise and fall of the sun? And why? What? The orientation should be between 25° and 30° north by east? --Taken from the website

月形石柱，在卑南遺址旁走過橋就到了。在台東火車站旁邊

(Translated by Google) The group of stone pillars used to be a spectacular stone forest on the Beinan site, but now only the only moon-shaped stone pillar remains, which has been standing for at least three thousand years. (Original) 石柱群曾是卑南遺址上壯觀的石林，如今卻僅殘存唯一月形石柱，經歷至少三千年的時間仍然屹立不搖。

卑南遺址文物公園裡面佔地很大很多東西可以看有一些原住民以前在這邊的這裡非常棒的考古研究

After visiting the static exhibition in the heritage park, go to the moon-shaped boulder next to it. When the weather is clear, you can see Dulan Mountain, which is revered in Beinan culture.

Legend has it that on a full moon night, a black dog will howl at the moon, and anyone who hears it will lose 10 IQs.

It won’t be a pity if you don’t watch it

Stone pillars are located outside the park The only stone pillar discovered and preserved so far 3000-4000 years old (prehistoric culture) You can see the train station directly! I hope it can be well preserved. It has been exposed to wind and rain for thousands of miles and is becoming more and more incomplete🥲

This is a very historically significant stone pillar. It may not seem like so but if you go through the guided tour (at certain timings at the museum, check!) you will understand more
