The architectural structure of spotless and clean stupa.

The stupa is one of the oldest existing buildings in Shenyang and one of the famous "eight scenic spots" in Shenyang. Antique, "Sunset in Tawan", the charm still exists. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong visited this place when he traveled eastward to Shengjing. Because he saw the picturesque scenery here, he sang a four-line poem:

In Tawan, under the sun at night, crows gather on the dark embankment on the road.

There are smoke belts everywhere in Yuangang village, and every household is brightly lit on a moonlit night.

There are various legends about the construction of this tower. According to legend, disasters often occurred in ancient Shenyang. There was a storm, and the wind blew for seven days and nights, so that the river was cut off, the well water dried up, the crops were cut off, and the people were restless. At this time, a monk came here and told people that this was a disaster caused by the fall of Huanglong from the sky. Hearing this, the people begged the monks to surrender Huanglong and save the Lebanese people in from the mire. After seeing the terrain of Shenyang, the monks confirmed that Tawan was the dragon's dragon head. This is the highest point in Shenyang, with plenty of sunshine and good feng shui. Then he and his two disciples set up a high platform in Tawan to worship heaven, and finally locked Huanglong, and the people lived a peaceful life from then on. In order to thank the monks, people built a temple called Huilongguan on the faucet for the monks to live in. After the monk died, his disciples built this stupa in the temple to commemorate him. 1985, when the pagoda was rebuilt, a stone letter was unearthed, and the words on it revealed the true origin of the pagoda.

It turns out that Buddhism prevailed in Liao Dynasty, from the emperor down to the people, everyone worshipped and believed in Buddhism, so the wind of building temples and towers was very prosperous. In order to pray for "good weather, peace and prosperity, and happiness for all people", * * * 1500 people voluntarily built this stupa. Everyone's contribution is recorded in a stone to show the size of merit. It is said that the practice of raising funds and recording the list of fund-raisers and the amount donated was handed down from here.
