Brief introduction of Wenfeng Tower in Nantong

Wenfeng Tower. This tower consists of bronze tiles, white walls and red columns, imitating a pavilion. There are five floors and six corners, each floor has a small room, and each side has a door and two windows, with escalators inside and guardrails outside. The cornices are upturned, decorated with faucets, immortals and beasts, and tied with Jin Duo. There is a brake at the top of the tower. The brake seat is bowl-shaped with an exposed disk on it. The brake lever passes through the seven-phase wheel, and the top is composed of the moon, the garden lamp and the Aquarius. It is connected with the top of the tower with an iron rope, which makes the pagoda look solemn and magnificent. The tower body is made of bricks, and the tower doors on each floor are hidden and staggered up and down. Hexagonal conical roof, tower brake is slender, with seven wheels on the top, long waist eaves and upturned eaves, which is simple and beautiful.

Wenfeng Pagoda, 39 meters high, is located in the southeast of Li Xiong, which is a cultural symbol of Nantong people's Chongwen Industrial Development. According to the inscription on the newly-built Wenfeng Pagoda in Tongzhou, Wenfeng Pagoda was built to "supplement the beauty of mountains and rivers and help the style of writing in Sheng Xing". According to legend, the popularization of Feng Shui theory in Ming Dynasty started in Ma Pingchuan, south of Huaishui. There are only Wolf Five Mountains in Nantong, which is the "Lu Guan Palace" in Nantong. At that time, digging mountains and taking stones, building new cities and gardens, destroyed the "Lu Guan Palace" and made it tried and tested; Officials with ordinary citizenship are mostly despised. So it was suggested that the southeast of the city is low-lying and humid, and Wenfeng Tower and Sanyuan Bridge can be built, which complement each other with the shape of mountains and rivers and contribute to the prosperity of the style of writing. Perhaps it is a historical coincidence that there were no celebrities in the first 500 years of Nantong Millennium. It was not until the middle and late Ming Dynasty in the16th century that nearly 100 scholars were born, including Ling Xiang, Chen, his father and son, his nephews Chen Dazhuang, Gu, Gu's grandsons Fan Fengyi and Bao Zhuangxing, and two top scholars Hu Changling and Zhang Jian. In fact, it is a historical necessity that "there have been talents in past dynasties, each leading the way for hundreds of years" and talents come forth in large numbers. This is just a beautiful conversation.
