In Yujing, you will see Tapani Incident Memorial Park. 在玉井 有噍吧哖事件紀念園區

So, follow me, and see what’s the story behind it. 快跟我一起去看看吧

Yujin used to be known as either Tevorang, or Tapani. 玉井舊稱「大武壠」也叫「噍吧哖」

In 1915, 民國四年(西元1915年)

there was an armed uprising against Japanese rule. 日治時期發生的抗日事件

It was known as the Xilai Temple Incident, the Yu Qingfang Incident, 史稱「西來庵事件」，也就是「余清芳事件」

the Yujin Incident, or the Tapani Incident. 「玉井事件」或「噍吧哖事件」

Unhappy with the oppressive Japanese police and military forces, 當時余清芳因不滿日本軍警鎮壓，

Yu Qingfang, Jiang Ding, Luo Jun, along with many others 暗地結合江定、羅俊等各地志士，

decided to stage a revolution in modern day Yujin, 以臺南噍吧哖（今玉井）西來庵為基地，

using Xilai Temple as a base of operation. 計劃起義。

However, on April 5th, the plan was foiled, 然而四月五號 事跡敗露

and Luo Jun was arrested. 羅俊被捕。

In July, Yu Qingfang and Jiang Ding led a militia force 七月，余、江二人率義勇軍

and exchanged fire with Japanese troops on Niugangzi Mountain 在牛港仔山(今左鎮附近)

near modern day Zuozhen. 和日本警方開戰

They attempted to raid the Nanzhuang Police Station in August, 八月，攻打南庄派出所

but were forced to retreat into the mountains 但武器彈藥不足，

due to ammunition shortage, 退守山區農莊，

and were subsequently arrested and executed. 最後起義失敗 被捕處決。

Thousands more were rounded up 莊民數千人

and executed together by firing squads. 被集體射殺

This incident was by far the largest 此一事件是日本統治臺灣期間，

and most brutal anti-Japanese rebellion during Japanese rule. 規模最大、最為慘烈的抗日活動。
