Design structure of ten thousand pagodas

The ten thousand pagodas are made of limestone and have a single-story structure. The outer circle of the tower body is inside, with simple shape, moderate proportion, firmness and simplicity. It is not only different from the traditional pavilion tower of the Han nationality, but also different from the Lama Pagoda (Bottle Pagoda) introduced from India to China in the Yuan Dynasty. It can be described as a family of its own and unique. The pagoda is located near Xiufeng, a famous temple in the south of the Yangtze River, facing south, with a total height of 1 1.2 meters. It is divided into three parts: abutment, tower body and pagoda. Facing south, the tower opened a tower door similar to a flame. The door is 2. 1 m high and 0.72 m wide. The front forehead is engraved with the words "Fuxing Ancient Pagoda" and the words "Amitabha" are engraved on both sides.

The bottom line is "Bodhisattva Buddha". The tower room is like a circular shaft wall, with a small top and a wide bottom. The bottom diameter is 2. 14m, the top diameter is 1.65m, the wall height is 3.75m, and the lower part is equipped with a 0.74m high sumeru pedestal. There is an inscription "Chengjue Jingshe Ji" in the middle of Sumi mountainside, which provides clues for studying the construction age. The words "Wu Deqian, a stonemason in Wumen, made by Kun Zhong" are engraved on the left side, "Yuan Dao Zhi Yuan Tong * * *" is engraved on the right side, and "headdress stirring grass" is engraved on the owl. There are ten layers of Wukangshi around Xumi Mountain, and rows of small relief Buddha statues are carved. The Buddha statue is 4.5 cm high and 3.5 cm wide, only the size of an egg. They are well-dressed and well-featured, sitting on the lotus seat. Each row has an average of 180 small Buddha statues and 60 rows 10800, hence the name "Ten Thousand Buddha Pagodas". There is a Buddha statue about 30 cm high and 20 cm wide opposite the tower gate. Although it doesn't count, it is the first dragon here. This statue of Buddha is Sakyamuni to show that the buddhas sit up and listen to the Buddha's sermon. Tasha is a gourd-shaped vase carved with stones. The top of the vase is covered with lotus flowers, phase wheels and shrines upturned in the corners. A sitting Buddha is carved on the door around the shrine and placed on a brake platform composed of eight layers of stones with different widths. It is said that Zhao Mengfu, a great calligrapher in Yuan Dynasty and a secretariat of Huzhou, was full of praise after seeing these Buddha statues, and happily wrote "Ten Thousand Pagodas".
