According to Yan Genqi, an expert on the study of ancient buildings in Hainan University, some towers are named after Wen Kui, Kuixing and Wenbi, because the towers named after these figures are generally dedicated to the stars symbolizing Wen Xing and official prosperity.
The first star of the Big Dipper is called Kuixing, the first six stars are called Wenchang Palace, and the last star is said to be the star in charge of the deer tail. Therefore, the government at that time hoped that the people here would be able to write prosperously, and the stars would be brilliant and talented. They also hope that their careers will prosper, so they call on the people to give generously and raise money to build the tower.
Similar to the name of Wenbi Pagoda, there is Wenkui Pagoda in Wanning (now Qingyun Pagoda in Wanning), which also belongs to Feng Shui Pagoda. At that time, people spent huge sums of money to build such a feng shui tower, the main purpose of which was to pray for God to bless the prosperity of literature here and avoid disasters and evil spirits. But this is just an expectation of people. What will happen? Nature never seems to be at the mercy of human beings. There is an ironic story about the Wen Kui Pagoda in Shanwei Village, Wancheng Town, Wanning City.
This tower, built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, was originally intended to "fill the mouth of the town and make up the geomantic omen". However, before the tower was built, a flood washed it upside down. Wanzhou people still don't believe this evil! Nearly 100 years later, people rekindled the hope of building towers. So, in the tenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (167 1 year), the local people scraped together enough money to raise money to build it, but it was washed down by the flood. /kloc-more than 0/60 years have passed, that is, 12 years of Daoguang. People no longer place their hopes on the name of Wenkui Tower, but use the auspicious idiom "climb to the top" to name it. This time, it escaped bad luck and has been used ever since.
The bucket handle Tower, located on Qixingling in front of Wenchang Store, is also in the same strain. First, because it is above the main peak of Qixingling, it is named bucket handle Tower. Another layer means that bucket handle is located in the Big Dipper, Yuheng, Kaiyang and Yaoguang, and the last star of the Big Dipper shines. It is said that it is the star in charge of the location, so it is named bucket handle Tower, which is intended to make Wenchang Store prosperous.
