What is this tower for?

1, as a tombstone: as a tombstone or as a tomb is the original function of the tower, and Yinpo itself is a kind of architectural form as a tomb. After it spread to the East, although the technology and appearance of the building have changed greatly, this basic function has remained. Many temples in China have built Tallinn.

2. As the object of worship: The most widely used tower exists as the object of worship. Before the Song Dynasty, the temple took the pagoda as the core of the whole building complex, and the stupa was dedicated to relics or Buddha statues, which was equivalent to the hall of later generations. However, after the Song Dynasty, although the core position of the pagoda in the temple was shaken by the main hall, it still occupied an important position, and there was a saying that "where there is a temple, there must be a pagoda".

3. Treasure storage: Tado has an underground palace. The underground palace of the pagoda, as a Buddhist building, is the place where Buddhist sacred objects are placed, so it often plays the role of hiding treasures. The most famous is the underground palace of Famen Temple in Shaanxi.

4. As a landscape: the tower is tall and eye-catching, and it is easy to form a landscape. Many towers naturally produce a landscape effect after completion, while some towers are specially built as landscapes. The most famous example is "Leifeng Sunset Red", one of the eight scenic spots in Hangzhou.

5. Make up Feng Shui: Because the tower plays an important role in the religious world, the first step of the tower towards the secular world has played a role in making up Feng Shui. You can reach a mountain by building a tower where there is a lack of geomantic omen.
