The Inscriptions on the Cliff at Zuixian Rock Commemorating the War against Japanese Pirates are a cultural relic protection unit of Fujian Province.

The Inscriptions on the Cliff at Zuixian Rock Commemorating the War against Japanese Pirates are located in Siming District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province.

Carved in the 36th year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty (1608), the three poems were inscribed by anti-pirate generals Shi Dezheng, Li Yang, and Xu Weibin. The content reflects the historical background of the frequent harassment by Japanese pirates along China’s southeastern coast during the Jiajing and Wanli eras of the Ming Dynasty. In January 2001, they were designated as part of the fifth batch of provincial-level cultural relic protection units by the People's Government of Fujian Province.
