一塊石碑

一段歷史

一條古道足跡
One Stele, One Story, One Historic Trail

這可不是普通的石碑！「保我黎民碑」立於明治40年，由雙溪20位仕紳聯名出資，為替當時因貪污被檢舉的基隆廳長橫澤次郎緩頰，頌揚他免稅三年、促進地方墾殖五十多甲土地的政績。這座直接刻在天然岩壁上的摩崖石刻，碑文書法優美，邊框還有螭龍紋，展現當年仕紳的地位與用心。它不僅見證雙溪日治時期的發展與政治氛圍，也為淡蘭古道的重要路線留下歷史印記！

The stele was funded by 20 local gentry from Shuangxi and erected in 1907. It was created to defend Keelung Prefecture Chief Yokozawa Jiro, who had been accused of corruption, and to praise his achievements—such as granting a three-year tax exemption and promoting the cultivation of over 50 hectares of land. Unlike typical steles, this inscription is carved directly into a natural rock face. The elegant calligraphy is framed by intricate dragon motifs, showcasing the high status and careful craftsmanship of the gentry. This stele is more than a political statement. It also records Shuangxi's development and social life during Japanese rule, and stands as an important historical marker along the Tamsui-Kavalan Trail.
