Who created the White Pagoda? How many years have it been? Which dynasty was it built in? How many stories are there now and how long are they?
Dan Ling White Pagoda is 27.5 meters high (of which the tower brake is 2.2 meters high), and it is a square four-corner brick-pointed 14-story dense eaves tower. There is a trail in the middle of the tower, which can hover to the top, and its shape is magnificent, which is very similar to the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi and the Lingta in Leshan in Tang Dynasty. Does Dan Ling White Pagoda belong to dense eaves type? Dan Ling Baita
Tower. Its external feature is that the first floor at the bottom of the tower is particularly high. Above the first floor, the distance between each floor is particularly short, and the eaves of the tower are closely connected, just like the double eaves of a double-eaved pavilion. Except for the first floor, there are generally no doors and windows on the above floors. This tower is a branch of the Pavilion Tower. The tower has no base and pedestal, and the tower body is straight out of the ground. The bottom of the tower is 6.02 meters wide, and the square bottom has an arch. All the above floors have trapezoidal lintels and herringbone lintels with real or fake windows, which are layered like eaves. Wind chimes are hung on every roof, which will ring when the wind blows. This is the "White Tower Bell" of the eight scenic spots in Dan Ling. The tower is gradually closed above level 7, and there are only five floors in the tower. There are eight brick ceilings (caissons) and five arches at the top of the bottom center for bearing and dragging each other. There are several wintersweet flowers on the wall and a relief on the bottom wall. There are no arches on the second, third and fourth floors, and no ventricles on the fifth floor. Both the original painting and the Buddha statue are there. According to experts' research, Dan Ling White Pagoda was built in the Tang Dynasty, located in the original Baihe Temple. Volume 43 of Sichuan Tongzhi Yu Di records: "Ming Tongzhi: Baita Temple was built in the west of Danling County, formerly known as Baihe, with floating pictures at the end of the Tang Dynasty, with Song Zhongxiu and Su Shi as memorials and the name changed at the beginning of Yongle." Another way of saying this is that it was built in the Sui Dynasty. According to Dan Ling County Records (Republic of China 12 edition) and Buddhist Temple Records, "Baita Temple, an ancient temple, was also floating on the left and towering in the clouds, and was built during the Sui Renshou period". Later, according to experts' research, "the four floors outside the Fourteenth Pagoda do not conform to the rules of the stupa, and the top trail seems to be incomplete, which is quite doubtful, and later generations have been overhauled into this appearance." "This tower is known to Dali Chongsheng Temple Tower and Pengshan longxing temple Tower. Almost as early as the Tang Dynasty, the internal Song-style bucket arch and Pantuo Trail were built by later generations." Therefore, most experts think: "Dan Ling White Pagoda is a historical relic, which may have been built in the Tang Dynasty. Later generations have rebuilt it many times, but it still retains the style of the Tang Pagoda." Judging from the words "Gudan in October of the 12th year of Daoguang" cast in Tasha's middle section and "Buddha and Wanli stand on October 20th of the following year" cast in the lower section, it also shows that the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been repaired many times. The White Pagoda in Dan Ling bears witness to the history of Dan Ling. Since the Sui Dynasty, a county has been established in Dan Ling, and people in the ancient city are unwilling to be lonely. First, in order to show the sage in geomantic omen, the Dan Ling Baihe Temple symbolizing the "land king" was built, then the Confucian Temple was built to cultivate talents, and then the Dan Ling White Pagoda was built to add color to the ancient city. Since then, Dan Ling has actually trained many talents. In the past hundred years, there have been 0/25 people in Jinshi/KLOC, including more than 300 people, thus enjoying the reputation of "hometown of talents". Among them are calligrapher Yang Ling, female Taoist Cheng Wuwei, poet and monk Keyou, historian Li Dao, "Xiao Dongpo" Tang Geng, "Crystal Lamp" Daofu Sun, national hero Liu Ji, "fallen fairy" Li Bi and educator Li. , is very famous in history. They all went to the west of Dan Ling City to watch, climb mountains and recite scriptures, leaving behind many hymns. Peng Duanshu said, "The tower on the west side of the city is very strong, and it lasts until late at night. As soon as the bell above sounded, it was very clear and went away with the wind. Wake up the dreamer and think about the other side. " See and climb the tower, don't have a taste. Dan Ling Baita is located in the west of Danling County, at the intersection of Provincial Highway 106 and Shunlong Road in Dan Ling. Seen from a distance, the White Pagoda in Dan Ling is very similar to the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi, majestic, tall and beautifully shaped. At close range, this tower is a 14-story brick building with square corners and drill tips, and its height is nearly 30 meters. Looking up, the first floor of the tower has fourteen layers of dense eaves, and the distance between each layer of eaves is very short, like double eaves in a castle. The overlapping part of each layer of brick eaves decreases step by step from bottom to top, forming a soft parabolic outline. Each layer of brick eaves looks like a bird's wing, giving people a light and comfortable feeling. On the low wall between the eaves, there are lattice windows and holes on each side. It is said that these windows and holes are used for decoration or interior lighting. There are 72 bronze bells hanging on the eaves of the tower. The wind blows the bell, and white clouds surround the ancient pagoda, which is called "the bell of the White Pagoda" and has been listed as "one of the eight scenic spots in Dan Ling" in past dynasties.
