Famen Temple was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, during the period of Huanling. It was built for relics, with a four-story wooden tower and an underground palace below. A coffin made of red sandalwood is stored in the underground palace, and the Buddha phalanx relic is contained in a golden bottle.
The wooden pagoda is called "stupa", and a temple was built because of the pagoda, formerly known as Asoka Temple. After the extinction of Sakyamuni Buddha, the remains were cremated into relics.
Famen Temple now has three main attractions, the old Famen Temple-underground palace and pagoda; Famen Temple Hall, folding stupa-offering Buddhist bones and relics.
