The word "Wentong Tower Garden" was inscribed by Wu Zhongqi, a famous contemporary calligrapher and former chairman of Jiangsu Book Association. When tourists step into the threshold of "Wentong Tower Garden", the first thing that catches your eye is the quaint and elegant Wentong Tower. With this tower, not only Shaohu Garden is particularly spectacular, but the whole cultural ancient city also looks elegant and radiant. Wentong Tower was built in Jinglong, Tang Zhongzong in the second year (AD 708), nearly 1300 years ago. Formerly known as Zunshengta. In the second year of Chongzhen (1629), the sacred pagoda was rebuilt. Because there is Wentong Temple next to it, it was renamed Wentong Tower. The architecture of Wentong Pagoda has the characteristics of Buddhist tradition. The tower is a brick structure without beams and columns, with a height of 13.5 meters, seven octagons, yellow body and green eaves. The bottom of the tower is dedicated to four statues of Sakyamuni, which is quite imposing; On the top floor, Guanyin sits on the lotus platform, with beads hanging around her neck and kind manners. Wentong Pagoda is a place where good men and women burn incense and worship Buddha. The lake and the tower are integrated, and the tower is built on the lake, and the lake is vivid because of the tower. Premier Zhou Enlai, a great man, used to fly kites under the tower when he was a child. There are many legends about Wentong Pagoda: Wang Tingzhen, a college student in Qing Dynasty, is a descendant of Huai 'an people. He often shows off the cultural customs of his hometown in North Korea, so some ministers don't agree. During the Daoguang period, a minister passed by Huai 'an. He decided to stay for a few more days, one is to see the places of interest in Huai 'an, and the other is to test whether Huai 'an's culture is as rich as Dr. Wang said, and it is suitable for all ages to recite poems. Unexpectedly, he ran into a wall for several days in a row and answered all the children like a stream, but he still didn't give up. When he left, many people came to see him off. Standing at the bow, he looked up at Wentong Tower, thinking that he could show off his talents without taking the exam, so he casually said, "One tower has seven floors and extends in all directions." The man who saw me off just shook his head and waved to him. He was very proud when he saw it. After returning to Beijing, he told Wang Tingzhen about it and sarcastically said, "There are so many people in Huai 'an." Wang Tingzhen laughed. The minister asked why you were laughing. Wang said, "The man who saw me off shook his head because he didn't want to answer correctly. Give you face, he waved his hand and already answered. " The priest asked, "how can I see it?" Wang Tingzhen raised a hand and said, "Look, one hand shakes five fingers and three fingers are short." After listening to this, the priest suddenly realized and repeatedly said, "Wonderful! Wonderful! Huaian is really a culture. "
