Brief introduction of Wenchang pavilion tower

Wenchang Pavilion Tower is located in Jieyang City, Guangdong Province, south of Huilai County, 300 meters to the left of Ganzhu Bridge on Ganzhu River in the upper reaches of Liang Hua. Wenchang Pagoda was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, but it was destroyed by fire in Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty. In the 26th year of Kangxi (1 687), the pagoda in Zhangxiu, a county magistrate, moved from north to south. In the second year of Qianlong (1737), Yang, a magistrate of a county, built the third floor of Wenchang Tower in the original site of Baota, which was called "Guiguang Tower". This tower is a Feng Shui tower, which belongs to ancient masonry structure. It is made of shell ash, with three octagonal layers and dense eaves. It is 23 meters high. Each floor is supported by stone pillars, with railings outside and spiral ladders inside. There are eight diagrams painted on the algae well. At the north gate on the third floor, Zhou Shuoxun, the magistrate of Qing Dynasty, carved the regular script of "Chao Ling Feng Yun". 1988, the county government set aside 100 mu of land around the tower, built a comprehensive entertainment venue, named it "Kuiyang Park", and repaired the ancient Wenchang Pavilion Tower. There is a one-year civilized academy in front of the pavilion tower, displaying cultural relics and antiques, and there are revolutionary history exhibition halls on both sides.
