The island of Taiwan is located at the junction of the Eurasian Plate and the Philippine Sea Plate. Due to the mutual pushing of the two major plates, the land was uplifted and twisted, forming Taiwan's current topography. 165 mountains over 3,000 meters tall are located on this small island.
Yushan (the main peak is 3,952 meters above sea level) is the highest peak in Taiwan. In winter, Yushan is often covered with thick snow, and the entire mountain looks like clean jade under the sunlight, hence the name Yushan. In addition, Yushan is also the highest peak in the Western Pacific excluding Kamchatka Peninsula.
For Westerners, the earliest record of Yushan in literature occurred in 1857, when the USS Alexander, a US merchant ship, left the port from Anping. Captain W. Morrison saw the towering Yushan. It was later recorded in the logbook, hence the name Mt. Morrison, which became widely used in Western countries.
In 1900, when Japan was governing Taiwan, two anthropologists, Torii Ryuzo (1870-1953) and Mori Uenosuke (1877-1926), became the first people to climb Mount Yushan in recorded history. They renamed the mountain Shin-takayama, which refers to the new highest peak on Japanese territory, which is 176 meters higher than Mount Fuji.
Yushan and its surrounding mountains all belong to the Yushan Mountains and become part of today's Yushan National Park. Yushan National Park is the largest, highest and most inaccessible national park in Taiwan. It has the largest wildlife conservation area in Taiwan, famous for its primeval forests and diverse native native animals, such as the Taiwanese long-maned goat. The Taiwanese long-maned goat is the only bovine species native to Taiwan. Its activity peaks in the early morning and dusk. It is highly territorial and will smear its body secretions on trees along its frequent routes to indicate that this road belongs to it. It likes to move alone. Because its hooves have protruding outer sides, it can easily catch on rock surfaces and move around. It often appears in exposed rock collapses and steep mountainous areas. Because they need to absorb salt, Taiwanese long-maned goats will cling to cliffs or boulders to suck up mineral deposits.

Yushan is not only the highest peak in Taiwan, but also the holy land in the hearts of most Taiwanese people and the soul that inspires artistic creation. 3952 and the old goat are respectively the totem and trademark of Taiwan-made top-quality fountain pens. The design and production of fountain pens is a long-term cultural industry. It is not only a writing instrument, but also a valuable art piece that brings people pleasure and is a long-term collection. In particular, the 3952 Lao Goat raw lacquer fountain pen is a perfect display of craftsmanship and is worth owning.
