What's in the writing tower in wenshan city, Wenshan Prefecture?

Wenbi Pagoda is located in Dongshan Park in the east of Wenshan County, Yunnan Province. Dongshan Park is a tourist attraction with Wenbi Pagoda as the center, which has been developed and built in Wenshan in recent years. It faces Xihua Park in the west. Surrounded by Luohan Mountain Forest Park, Toutangba Park and Panlong Park at the foot of the mountain. The climbing path of Wenbi Pagoda is 457 meters long, and the stone steps in Dali are 18 meters wide, with 999 steps, which are zigzag and divided into three sections.

The old tower is seven stories high, five feet and eight feet high, and the height is 19.33 meters. It is inlaid with couplets, "The two laurels compete for wonders, and the iron-painted silver hook explores the moon hole; One river, one horizontal shadow, and mountains connecting mountains "very vividly summarizes the geography and landforms of Wenshan." "This tower has been eroded by wind and rain, and the tower has gradually collapsed. In the middle of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1944), the Japanese invaders advanced on the southeast of Yunnan, and the Ninth Army of the Kuomintang built fortifications in Dongshan, and all the remaining gun towers were demolished.

After the founding of Wenshan Prefecture, successive state and county party and government leaders have the intention to rebuild this tower. 1983 Wenshan county urban construction master plan was expanded to "Dongshan Park". 1997 the renovation project of the new tower started in an all-round way, which lasted for one year and was completed at the end of March.

This new tower is very creative. The most distinctive feature is that it has built 999 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. According to Taoism, nine is the number of Yang, two nines are the number of Chongyang, and three nines are the number of Sanyang, which implies the traditional auspicious meaning of "Three Yang opens Tai", and "Tai" is the "Tai Gua" in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, which means good luck. Climbing these 999 steps symbolizes the blessing of people's auspicious and healthy life, shows the flourishing career of Wenshan people, and endows the newly-built writing tower with new cultural connotation and symbolic significance.

The newly-built pen tower is 49 meters high, octagonal, with seven floors and eight floors. It is simple and elegant, and the whole tower is red, which looks magnificent and solemn. There are poems and paintings, carved beams and painted buildings inside and outside the tower, which are rich in gold, colorful and interesting. In the corner of the tower, there is a string of bells hanging, which will make a tinkling sound whenever the wind blows.

Looking around along the tower, there is Jin Cikun's poem "Literature is strong and mountains and rivers are far away, the sky is lush and the brushwork is better than ancient and modern times, and it is beautiful and clear." In the north, there is Yang Xingyue's poem, "I have two mountains to write jade inkstones, and I have one river to stand in the west and wash the jade." In the southwest, there is Dai Guanglu's "writing is a master of ancient and modern history, and mountains and rivers reflect the beauty of the sun, the moon and the earth". Several couplets show the essence, spirit and verve of Wenshan, and write the momentum of Wenshan meeting the sea.
