Introduction to the White Pagoda of Ai 'an Temple in Beihai, Xicheng, Beijing?

Beihai White Pagoda, also known as Ai 'an Temple White Pagoda, is located at the top of Qionghua Island in Beihai Park, Xicheng District, Beijing (the former site of Guanghan Temple) and behind Ai 'an Temple. It was built in the eighth year of Qing Shunzhi (Park 165 1) and rebuilt twice.

The tower is a bowl-covered tower, that is, Lama Tower, which consists of three parts: tower base, tower body and treasure top, and is of masonry structure. It is 15.9 meters high. The foundation of the tower is a brick and stone sumeru, with three layers of frustum. There is a "hidden well" under the tower, which contains a star boat, a Buddhist shrine, a sacrificial platform, a Lama's scriptures, a clothes bowl, and Buddhist utensils. The tower body is made of brick, stone and wood structure, and the tower body is supported by wood skeleton. There is a main core wood in the center, which is covered with iron rings and connected with six flat irons distributed in a ring. The iron rings at both ends protrude from the epidermis of thirteen days, and undertake six forged iron hooks with a square of 0.55 meters, supporting the site at the top of thirteen days, which is extremely strong.

There are 306 vents in Baita Temple, including a nine-foot-high column with a gold box at the top, which contains two "relics". On the south side of the tower is a Tibetan pattern composed of yellow characters on a red background, called "Eye Gate" or "Stone Wheel King Kong Gate", which means good luck. The maximum diameter of the tower belly is14m. Baoding is a astrological wheel, also called thirteen days. The top of the gilded treasure is called the sky disk, the site and the sun and moon flame respectively. Baoding waist is engraved with animal and flower patterns. Under the treasure dome is a copper cast canopy, and there are copper bells hanging around the site. 1976 Tangshan earthquake caused the phase wheel to shift and was later repaired. After the founding of New China, this tower has been repaired many times, with beautiful shape, which is the main landscape of Beihai Park.

There is a letter gun on Anji Baita, which, according to the records of Qing Dynasty, plays the role of alarm. In fact, it is a town that completes Feng Shui. Every year on the 25th day of the lunar calendar 10 (Lantern Festival), lanterns are lit from the top of the tower to the bottom of the mountain, and lamas are invited to hold ceremonies to pray for the peace of the country and people. There is also a small hall called Mingshan Hall on the high platform in front of the tower. There are 455 small buddhas made of glazed bricks embedded around the temple. There are thousands of hands and eyes in the temple, also known as Zhenhai Buddha, which is said to be used to protect the North Sea. There are also two stone tablets in the east of Ai 'an Temple, namely, the "Monument to Establish Official Rites and Discipline" in the eighth year of Shunzhi (165 1) and the "Monument to Rebuild the White Pagoda" in the eleventh year of Yongzheng (173 1).
