History of Wenfeng Pagoda
Wenfeng Pagoda was built more than 200 years ago. From a pair of couplets on the ground floor, we can see its name "Wenfeng" and "whoever gets up early should be named after it". The appearance of China Pagoda can be traced back to the introduction of Buddhism in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was first used to store the "relics", remains or relics of monks, and to worship Buddha statues or scriptures. With the passage of time, people have endowed it with humanistic charm beyond the scope of Buddhism. Many ordinary pagodas are famous for their rich culture, such as the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Small Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi, and the Leifeng Pagoda on the West Lake in Hangzhou. According to the investigation, Wenfeng Pagoda, also known as Wenfeng Pagoda, Wenbi Pagoda and Fengshui Pagoda, is the product of Taoist geomantic theory and feudal scientific research system since14th century. The construction of Wenfeng Pagoda aims at "supplementing the beauty of mountains and rivers and helping Sheng Xing's literary style". It is a landmark and ornamental building. Wenfeng Pagoda was built by a third-class family from Tahe. Tahe and nearby towns such as Nanba and Kunchi have always attached importance to culture. In Kunchi, there is a "Taocheng Academy" built in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, which has a history of 150 years. There is also a "private elite middle school" in Nanba, which is a little closer. It is natural that Wenfeng Pagoda reappears in Tahe. It is said that the construction of Wenfeng Pagoda has a certain origin. There are Luzi Mountain and Dachengzhai near Wenfeng Tower, and Wulongguan Mountain and Wenshan in the distance. The peaks stand tall and are surrounded by Yushu. It is said that the origin of Wenfeng Pagoda is related to these mountains. At the foot of Wenfeng Tower is a small river less than two meters wide, that is, Tahe River, which meanders into the mainstream of Heqian River at the intersection of Nanba and Tahe River, while Wulongguan, which is a little farther away, stands by the water and is named after five dragons. It is said that there are five dragons working day and night, and the Heqian River surges up and flows into the river at the foot of Wenfeng Tower from the mainstream. In addition, Tahe Township around the river is flat and spacious, with houses such as. However, the sky is yellow and the earth is thick, and no one who loves his hometown has moved away. People only look forward to one day. Strangely, a villager named Meng in Tahe suddenly dreamed of a white-haired expert one night, leading him all the way along the river under Wenfeng Tower, past Luzi Mountain and then to Wulongguan. The expert said happily, "You can build a temple here to keep you safe." After that, the villager named Meng suddenly woke up. The next day, the villagers told the villagers this dream, so they had the money to contribute, and the "Five Dragon View" in Wulong Mountain Scenic Resort Scenic Area and the "Holy Water Temple" on Luzi Mountain came into being. When the weather was fine and everything was safe, there was a stream of holy water in Shui Sheng Temple, which has now been developed into a mineral water product. Since then, the people of Tahe have lived in peace and contentment, but this beautiful day always seems to be missing something. One day, an educated squire suddenly asked a question: "Today, the country is still prosperous, but the culture in my hometown is not so prosperous." As soon as people heard it, they said, "Yes, especially the most admired champion, which is unprecedented." So people think hard about how to turn over in this culture, but this kind of distress has been on Tahe people for many years, and there are still no scholars and brothers, not even juren. One day, an old man in rags came from Tahe, carrying a backpack with a writing brush to sell, saying that as long as the villagers bought the pens on him, they could help solve all the incurable diseases. The villagers thought it was related to culture. Maybe this is where the master came to point out the maze, so the words were snapped up and the old man had a statement. The old man looked at the mountains around the Tahe River, then pointed to the particularly towering Wenshan across the river and sighed: "This mountain is responsible! Here, the style of writing is blocked, which makes the style of writing decline, and scholars cannot reach it. " Then the old man looked at the Tahe River in Ma Pingchuan and the towering Dachengzhai: "This basin is a boat, Dachengzhai is the bow, and it is about to capsize! If only there were a mast to float it out of the mountains and rivers. " So Wenfeng Tower came into being with the fund-raising of third-class large households, and Tahe River became increasingly prosperous. Later, there were celebrities such as General Xiang Shouzhi, and now there are students from Peking University and Tsinghua. The Wenfeng Pagoda, which has experienced vicissitudes, is now a famous cultural relic attraction in Xuanhan County, but it is a pity that there are not many records and less humanistic care. The author visited again recently and found that the surrounding garbage was everywhere, weeds were everywhere, the tower was full of firewood, and some believers burned incense, making the tower darker. There is little tower culture in Dazhou. What can we do for history now in order not to regret it? First, we can tap its historical resources, supplement written descriptions, and even take advantage of the situation to play "Wenfeng" brand on products. Secondly, Wenfeng Park can be built with Wenfeng Tower as the center, flowers and trees can be planted, pavilions can be built, and outdoor activities of citizens can be increased. In addition, there is a natural gas chemical plant in Nanba nearby. If the park is well built, it can be famous. Third, vigorously protect this cultural symbol, and prohibit tourists from scribbling, littering and repairing it in time.
