The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is 64.5 meters high, with a square cone, simple shape and magnificent momentum. It is a rare masterpiece of Buddhist architectural art in China.
Cen Can, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once said, "Pagoda, towering into the sky, reaches the Heavenly Palace.
Climbing, we seem to have left the world behind us, and our overlooking steps are hanging in space.
It is above the holy land and can only be built through spiritual hard work.
Its four sides are covered with brilliant sunshine, and its seven-story building cuts through the gray clouds, and the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" is magnificent.
The Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Ji 'an, the southern suburb of Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province. It is a famous ancient building in China and is considered as a symbol of the ancient capital Xi.
Painted in the center of the emblem of Xi 'an is this magnificent, simple and magnificent ancient tower of the Tang Dynasty.
This tower is the place where Master Xuanzang specially translated and collected scriptures after returning from India (ancient Tianzhu).
It was named Big Wild Goose Pagoda because it was modeled after the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in India.
Therefore, a smaller Big Wild Goose Pagoda was later built in Jianfu Temple in Chang 'an. People called Ci 'en Pagoda Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Jianfu Pagoda Small Wild Goose Pagoda, which has been passed down to this day.
The plane of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is square and built on a platform about 45 meters square and 5 meters high.
This tower has seven floors, the bottom is 25 meters long and the height from the ground to the top is 64 meters.
The tower is made of bricks, and the ground brick joints are firm and abnormal.
There are stairs in the tower, which can spiral up.
There is an arched ticket doorway on all sides of each floor, which can be seen through the railing and have a panoramic view of Chang' an.
The bottom of the tower is surrounded by stone gates, and there are exquisite line carved Buddha statues on the mast. Ximenmei is a picture of Amitabha, engraved with magnificent halls.
The layout of the picture is rigorous and the lines are vigorous and smooth. It is a masterpiece of Yan, a great painter in the Tang Dynasty, and it is an important material for studying ancient architecture in China.
The brick niches on both sides of the south gate of the tower are embedded with two stone tablets, Preface to the Three Monks of Datang and Preface to the Three Monks, written by Chu Suiliang, one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty. The fonts are delicate and natural.
After the end of the Tang Dynasty, temples were repeatedly set on fire and burned, and only the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was isolated.
