[Yingxian Wooden Pagoda].

[Yingxian Wooden Pagoda].

⌚️The third stop of Journey to the West is Yingxian. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, it was one of the 16 prefectures of Yanyun. The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, also known as the Sakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple, is the tallest and oldest existing wooden pagoda in the world. It is a 💯 pure wooden pagoda from the Liao Dynasty, with a history of 968 years. It is as famous as the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and is known as one of the "Three Wonders of the World". The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is a manifestation of China's most exquisite mortise and tenon structure, demonstrating the 72 mortise and tenon techniques of Lu Ban. It has withstood storms 💨, rain ⛈️, lightning ⚡️, fire 🔥, earthquakes, and even the baptism of war, and still stands tall today, which is a miracle in the history of ancient architecture. The wooden pagoda is more like a guardian of time, hidden in the hustle and bustle of the world, experiencing the vicissitudes of life. A breeze blew, and the wind chimes 🎐 on the wooden pagoda made a jingling sound, as if telling a thousand-year-old story... Time seemed to be shielded at this moment. When the bell rang, the swallows around the wooden pagoda flew up and hovered 🌀 over the wooden pagoda, like devout believers waiting to meet the Buddha, to meet all the beauty in the world, and to meet the happiness they expected. There is a saying: A hundred feet of lotus blooms in the morning sun, and the five bright and four dark hide the mystery The faint Buddha chant of the Sakyamuni Pagoda, lost in the world and transformed into a mortal Yingxian Wooden Pagoda

Jingtu Temple: Ancient Building Caisson Ceiling

Jingtu Temple: Ancient Building Caisson Ceiling Ying County has three treasures. The first treasure is the Ying County Wooden Pagoda, and the other two treasures come from the Jingtu Temple adjacent to the Ying County Wooden Pagoda. One is the 'Eight Gates and Nine Stars Heavenly Palace Caisson,' and the other is the 'Disheveled Hair' Liao Dynasty Stone Lion. These two treasures are unique ancient architectural masterpieces in China. When you come to Jingtu Temple, don't be deceived by the brand-new gate. Enter the Mahavira Hall, which is the essence of Jingtu Temple: the hall has nine caissons, each depicting a golden dragon holding a precious pearl. In addition to the Nine Dragons Caisson, there are also realistic heavenly palace pavilions made with exquisite wooden structures, which are considered the pinnacle of small woodwork in China. Inside the hall, there are Qing Dynasty murals depicting Buddhist stories and other themes, with compositions and techniques reflecting traditional folk painting styles. After chatting with the resident monks, I learned that Jingtu Temple had once been flooded by rainwater, and its treasures were stolen. Fortunately, the heavenly palace caisson and some murals have been preserved to this day. Now, the surrounding area has also been repaired. When you visit the Ying County Wooden Pagoda, don't miss Jingtu Temple. ✅ It is a 5-minute walk from the east gate of the Ying County Wooden Pagoda. ✅ Entrance fee is 15 yuan.

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda—A millennium legacy, a building that moves

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda—A millennium legacy, a building that moves

The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, located within the Fogong Temple in Yingxian, Shuozhou. It was built over a period of 22 years from the fourth year of the Xingxi era (1035) to the second year of the Qingning era (1056) during the Liao Dynasty, and Emperor Daozong of Liao bestowed the name 'Sakyamuni Pagoda'. The wooden pagoda is the tallest and oldest existing all-wooden pagoda-style building in the world, and it is known as one of the 'Three Wonders of the World' alongside Italy's Leaning Tower of Pisa and the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is said that the famous architect Mr. Liang Sicheng personally measured the dimensions of the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda: it stands 67.31 meters tall, with a diameter of 30.27 meters at the base, and a total weight of 7,430 tons. The pagoda consists of three parts: the base, the body, and the steeple, with the base further divided into upper and lower levels—the lower level being square and the upper octagonal. The body of the pagoda is octagonal, with five visible stories and six eaves, but in reality, it has five bright and four dark stories, totaling nine stories. The ingenuity of the wooden pagoda also lies in its dynamic characteristics; due to its combination of rigid and flexible architectural structures, the 24 outer columns can adjust their load-bearing capacity in response to changes in the Earth's crust, giving it the ability to move flexibly and avoid disasters on its own. Throughout the course of history, the development of different religions, cultures, and ethnicities often carries traces of civilization's integration, rather than existing in isolation. As a Buddhist structure from the Liao Dynasty, the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda incorporates many elements of Taoism in its design and construction. Standing in front of the pagoda, one can clearly see that the orientation of the wooden pagoda completely corresponds with the pre-heaven Bagua diagram. Moreover, the pagoda does not use a traditional square structure but instead an octagonal frame, which enhances the stability of the building. This also aligns with the Taoist pursuit of harmony and balance. What we can also see is that the architecture of the Liao Dynasty abandoned the soft and delicate beauty of the Song Dynasty architecture of the same period, choosing instead to inherit the grandeur and passionate exuberance of the architecture of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, thus highlighting the rugged and majestic characteristics of the architecture of the northern Liao Dynasty, presenting a completely different style from the Holy Mother Hall of Jinci in Taiyuan under the Northern Song Dynasty, 230 kilometers away. Within the five actual stories of the wooden pagoda, there are exquisite colored sculptures of Buddha. The style of the sculptures is very similar to those in the Baoji Teaching Hall of Huayan Temple in Datong, built in the seventh year of the Chongxi era (1038) of the Liao Dynasty, with vivid shapes, robust figures (which is completely different from the pursuit of delicate and clear features in the later Yungang Grottoes), and dignified faces. Although the interior sculptures have been weathered over a millennium and repaired and repainted over the generations, they still retain the original appearance of the Liao Dynasty sculptures. For example, the image of Sakyamuni in the first-floor hall has green beards and eyebrows, which is related to the Khitan men's practice of growing beards. Every era has its unique culture. Up to the present, there are eight major wooden structures from the Liao Dynasty still in existence, namely the Guanyin Pavilion, the Dule Temple Gate, the Sakyamuni Pagoda, the Fengguo Temple, the Daxiong Hall, the Baoji Teaching Hall of Huayan Temple, the Kaishan Temple, and the Ge Yuan Temple. Mr. Liang Sicheng named them the 'Eight Great Liao Constructions'. A thousand years have passed, the Liao regime has long been extinguished, and the Khitan people have disappeared without a trace, but the porcelain they left behind, the buildings, the culture, and their stories are still here, telling future generations that they were once here.

The central caisson is progressively layered, known as the 'Heavenly Palace Pavilion of Eight Gates and Nine Stars,' with two golden dragons carved in the center, lifelike and vivid. 🌈'Disheveled Hair' Stone Lion The face was damaged during a special period, but its unique 'disheveled hair' shape and exquisite craftsmanship can still be seen. It once made Mr. Liang Sicheng stop for a long time and praise it endlessly. ---- 🌟Tips: On the way from Yingxian Wooden Pagoda to Jingtu Temple, there is a photo spot where the words 'Yingxian' and the pagoda are framed together.

Shanxi is known for its ancient architecture, and Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is a must-see

If you visit Shanxi to see ancient buildings but miss the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, it's like going to a museum without seeing its most treasured exhibit. 🌟【Yingxian Wooden Pagoda】 This wooden pagoda, which was built during the Liao Dynasty, is the tallest and oldest existing wooden structure in the world. It is not only a symbol of Shanxi but also the foremost representation of ancient Chinese architecture and mortise and tenon craftsmanship. Despite the ravages of a thousand years, you can see from afar that there is already noticeable deformation around the third to fourth floors. One can't help but worry about how many more years it can stand. Honestly, the experience of visiting the wooden pagoda now is not very strong. Firstly, you can no longer climb the pagoda. In the past, you could go up to the third floor and take pictures of the exquisite interior sculptures. Now, to protect the pagoda, you can only pass through the first floor and admire the main Buddha statue there. Secondly, there are just too many people. No matter which angle you choose, there are always people in the shot, so I had to take a photo on the abandoned grassland outside the courtyard to get a picture without others in it. Many friends say it's not worth visiting, but this is actually determined by the nature of tourism in Shanxi. To appreciate these architectural relics, visitors need to do their homework, understand the background, and know what to look for and what makes it special. Ancient buildings and temples cannot be turned into highly interactive projects, so naturally, they lack entertainment value. 🌟【Best Spot to Photograph the Wooden Pagoda】 If you visit the Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, I recommend exiting through the east gate. There is a perfect spot here to take pictures of people with the pagoda. Walk south after exiting the east gate, and you'll find a demolished area with long grass. You can use the grass as the foreground to cover the ground and the pagoda's wall. 🌟【Jingtu Temple】 I highly recommend visiting Jingtu Temple in the northeast corner. Liang Sicheng once mentioned the "Three Treasures of Yingxian"—the "national treasure" Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, the "unparalleled" caisson ceiling of Jingtu Temple, and the scattered stone lions. The latter two are found here. Jingtu Temple has a prestigious history. It was originally built during the Later Tang of the Five Dynasties as the family temple of Emperor Li Siyuan of the Later Tang, so it carries royal blood and grandeur. However, the original temple was destroyed and later rebuilt on the same site in the 24th year of the Jin Dading era (1184). According to the temple's introduction, it was originally a five-courtyard complex, but during the Ming Dynasty, the city was reduced, leaving only three courtyards inside the city, while the outer ones were abandoned. The three inner courtyards were also later damaged by humans, leaving only the current main hall from the Jin Dynasty. Its most treasured feature is the caisson ceiling inside the main hall. Looking up inside the hall, you can see nine large caisson ceilings, each surrounded by imagined heavenly palaces. Each small heavenly palace, from the flying eaves and dougong brackets to the railings and beast figures, is extremely detailed. Inside the caisson ceilings, there are also double golden dragons flying, showcasing the unparalleled spatial imagination of the craftsmen. When I was a child, I watched the animated film "Havoc in Heaven," and the depiction of the heavenly palace in the film was likely inspired by this. The scattered stone lions mentioned by Liang Sicheng are now severely damaged and unrecognizable, standing in the courtyard, leaving us to imagine their original appearance through photos. The rear wall of Jingtu Temple is closely attached to a section of the remaining earthen wall, which should be the Ming Dynasty city wall ruins, confirming the story of the temple's destruction due to the city's reduction during the Ming Dynasty.

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is a common name; its actual name is Shakyamuni Pagoda of Fogong Temple. It is located in Fogong Temple in Ying County, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. It was first built in the second year of the Qingning period of the Liao Dynasty. It is the tallest and oldest existing all-wood structure pavilion-style building in the world. It is known as one of the world's three great towers, along with the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy and the Eiffel Tower in France. The main material of the wooden pagoda is North China larch, and the dougong (bracket sets) are made of elm wood. The amount of wood used is as much as tens of thousands of cubic meters. The entire structure consists of three parts: the base, the body, and the steeple. The base is divided into two layers: the lower layer is square, and the upper layer is octagonal. The body of the pagoda is octagonal, with five visible stories and six eaves, but it actually has nine stories, with four hidden inside. Currently, the upper levels of the wooden pagoda are not open to the public, but the first level is accessible. The first level houses a gold statue of Shakyamuni, which is the largest Shakyamuni Buddha statue in the entire pagoda. The face is full and round, with a kind and serene expression. The stone-green eyebrows are like new moons, the eyes are slightly open, the nose is elegant, and there are stone-green curled mustaches at the corners of the lips, matching the color of the eyebrows. The chin has fine moon-shaped lines, and the ears, which hang down to the shoulders, are adorned with earrings.

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda 🛕

#discoverchina Ying County Wooden Pagoda (also known as Buddha Palace Temple Shakyamuni Tower) was built in 1056 AD. The tower is 67.31 meters high, the ground floor diameter is 30.27 meters, and the total weight is about 7,400 tons. It is the tallest and oldest existing solid wood structure pavilion building in the world. In September 2016, it was certified as the "world's tallest wooden tower" by the Guinness World Records. The wooden pagoda of Yingxian County is stable and dignified, well-proportioned and has a beautiful outline. In ancient books, it is called "the beauty of the floating map, and the first one in the universe". Ying County Wooden Pagoda is located in the Buddhist temple in the northwest corner of the old city of Ying County, Shanxi Province. It is the main building of the temple. The Buddha Palace Temple faces north and south, covering an area of about 25,000 square meters. The whole central axis is prominent. From south to north, there are Shanmen, Shakyamuni Pagoda and Daxiong Hall. Shakyamuni Pagoda is located in the center of the temple, followed by Daxiong Hall. The Bell and Drum Tower is located on the east and west sides of the front of the temple and was built in the Ming Dynasty. The main body of the wooden tower is made of North China larch, and the arch is made of elm. The wood consumption is as high as tens of thousands of cubic meters. The whole building consists of three parts: the tower base, the tower body and the tower. The tower base is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is square, and the upper layer is octagonal. The tower is octagonal, with five layers and six eaves in appearance, but it is actually a four-nine-story tower with five bright and dark. The tower is composed of a base, a lotus, a phase wheel, a round light, an eye, a treasure cover and a pearl, which is cleverly made and integrated with the tower. There are 59 different forms and hundreds of arches above and below the whole tower (the arches can not only share the weight of the pillars, but also buffer and disperse external forces), just like blooming lotus flowers decorated all over the tower. There are many kinds in China and are known as the "Arch Museum". Ancient books praise it as "Optimus Prime from a distance, similar to a hundred-foot lotus". In terms of structure, the design of the Yingxian wooden tower is more ingenious. There is no iron nail on the top and bottom of the whole tower, and it is all made of wooden components that bite each other. #shanxi

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda

Know a city because of a pagoda, and enter a city because of a pagoda. This city is today's Yingxian County, Yingzhou in the Liao Dynasty. There are no high-rise buildings in Yingxian County, and the skyline of thousands of years is still preserved. The famous Sakyamuni Wooden Pagoda stands majestically in the center of the ancient city, just like the words "Heavenly Pillar and Earth Axis" written on a plaque. The nearly 70-meter-high wooden pagoda was built in the second year of Qingning in the Liao Dynasty (1056 AD) and is the oldest and tallest wooden pagoda in the world. The body of the wooden pagoda is as towering as a heavenly palace, with a total of 54 kinds of Dougong from top to bottom. It took craftsmen 140 years to assemble this tallest "building block". It has been admired for thousands of years. It is composed of five stories and six eaves. At a glance, it is a thousand years of light and shadow overlapping, which can be described as the pinnacle of Chinese Dougong. "The palaces of Luonan are all gone, and a pagoda hangs in the blue sky." The vicissitudes of life, history is renewed, the majesty of the wooden pagoda, the magic of the wooden pagoda, and the magnificence of the wooden pagoda have already ennobled time and amazed the past and present. The plaques of different eras on the tower are unique and exquisite, which makes people sigh at the charm of Chinese calligraphy. The wooden pagoda has experienced more than 40 earthquakes, more than 200 artillery attacks, and the blowing of the north wind in Yanbei, and has steadily walked for nearly a thousand years. The architectural master Liang Sicheng sighed affectionately: "This pagoda is so good that it is amazing, so good that I can't breathe for a long time." Now it is tilted due to human reasons, but its tenacity and the sense of history are still shocking. The wooden pagoda is even more spectacular at sunset. Flocks of pigeons fly around the pagoda on the Dougong beams, bringing joy to tourists and injecting vigorous vitality into the ancient wooden pagoda.
