Introduction:

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. According to legend, Xuanzang exorcist returned from India (ancient Tianzhu) and specialized in translation and Tibetan scriptures. Because it imitates the Indian Wild Goose Pagoda, it is named Wild Goose Pagoda. Later, a smaller Wild Goose Pagoda was built in Jianfu Temple in Chang 'an. In order to distinguish it, people call Jionji Pagoda Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Jianfu Temple 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 gate on all sides of each floor, which can be overlooked through the railing. Changan has a panoramic view. The bottom of the tower is surrounded by stone gates, and there are exquisite line-carved Buddha statues on the tower mast, which were handed down strictly by the great painters of the Tang Dynasty. In the brick niches on both sides of the south gate of the tower, there are two stone tablets, the Preface to Tang Sanzang and the Preface to Tang Sanzang written by Chu Suiliang, one of the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, temples were repeatedly set on fire and burned, and only the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was isolated.

On the other hand, the Wild Goose Pagoda was built in Yonghui, Tang Gaozong for three years. Because it is located in Jionji, it is also called Ci 'en Temple Tower. Jionji was built by Prince Li Zhi in the 22nd year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (648) to commemorate his mother, Empress Wende.

When the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was first built, it had five floors, with brick surface and soil core. Later, it collapsed and rebuilt ten floors. During the Chang 'an period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty (70 1-704), it was rebuilt into a pavilion-style blue brick tower with seven floors and a square plane, consisting of a tower foundation and a tower body. The side of the tower foundation is 48 meters long and 4.2 meters high, and the tower body is on it, with a side length of 25 meters and a height of 59.9 meters. The height of the tower foundation and tower body is 64. 1 m. Each wall of the tower is made of brick flat columns and wall frame, with a big barrel at the upper part of the column and a brick coupon door in the middle of each floor. The plane inside the tower is also square, and each floor has floors. An escalator is installed to spiral up to the top of the tower. In the Ming Dynasty, a thick layer of brick was laid outside the tower, and the brick was ground with cracks and was very strong. When the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was first built, it was a five-story square tower with brick surface and core. Later, it was changed to a seven-story square pavilion, and it was changed to a ten-story pavilion in the Tang Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, the Tangta added brick faces. At present, the tower is 64 meters high, and each floor is made of imitation wood structure. There are exquisite line-carved Buddha statues on the bottom lintel, and the west lintel is the Buddha statue of Amitabha, engraved with a magnificent hall. There are two stone tablets embedded in the brick niche of the south gate at the bottom of the tower: Preface to Tang Sanzang and Preface to Tang Sanzang, both written by Chu Suiliang, a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, with delicate fonts, which are two famous stone tablets in the Tang Dynasty. On the west side of the lintel of Shimen, there are lines depicting architectural patterns and Buddha statues carved in the Tang Dynasty. The layout of the picture is rigorous, and the lines are thick and smooth. According to legend, it was written by Yan, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Chiyi, a monk. It is an important material for studying ancient architecture in China. The Wild Goose Pagoda is a famous tourist attraction in the Tang Dynasty, so there are a large number of inscriptions by literati, including more than 200 inscriptions in the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone. Today, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is still a landmark building in Xi 'an, an ancient city, and a famous scenic spot at home and abroad. The State Council was promulgated as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units 196 1. In Ji 'angji, at the southern end of Yanta Road in the southern suburbs of the ancient city, there stands the quaint and magnificent Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is the most famous ancient pagoda in Xi, and is regarded as a symbol of the ancient city. In the center of the Xi 'an sign is painted this magnificent and famous ancient tower of the Tang Dynasty.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the full name of which is "Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Ci 'en Temple", was founded in 652 AD. Pavilion-style brick pagodas are welded by grinding bricks. Prisms are displayed on the brick wall, which can obviously divide the wall into bays. It is a unique traditional architectural art style in China.

According to historical records, the Cixi Hall was built by Tang Gaozong Li Zhi to pray for her mother, Empress Wende. In the north, it faces the Daming Palace Hanyuan Hall, surrounded by Qujiang Pool, Xingyuan and Leyuan Scenic Area, with beautiful scenery. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the first abbot of Ji 'an Temple, Master Xuanzang, who returned from India and brought back a large number of Sanskrit classics and Buddhist cultural relics. In order to consecrate and store these treasures, he personally designed and guided the construction. Xuanzang was honored as the "Master Sanzang", who once ruled out eighty-one difficulties to learn from the West. Tang Gaozong and Emperor Taizong personally wrote Preface to Tang Sanzang and Preface to Tang Sanzang.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a pavilion-style brick pagoda, with a height of 64.517m and a base length of 25m. The tower is square pyramid-shaped and located on a square brick platform, with a bottom area of 42.5×48.5 meters and a height of 4.2 meters. The tower body made of blue bricks is spliced by grinding bricks, and the structure is regular. The exterior is made of wood-like structure, and the size decreases proportionally from bottom to top. There is a spiral wooden ladder in the tower. There is an arched ticket gate on both sides of each floor, which can be overlooked through the railing. The whole building is magnificent, solemn and simple, with simple and steady modeling and moderate proportion, which is a masterpiece of architectural art in Tang Dynasty. Many famous poets in the Tang Dynasty boarded the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, leaving beautiful sentences that have been passed down to this day, such as Du Fu's "The banner crosses the sky and the wind is not stopped"; Chapter 8 of the "strange bird enclave, mid-air self-alarm language" and so on. Especially Cen Can's "Go to Ji 'an with Gao Shi and Xue Zhi"; "Pagoda, suddenly rising from the ground, reached the palace of heaven; Climbing the mountain, we seem to have left the world behind, and the soda dish is empty. It is above a holy land and can only be built by spiritual hard work; The four corners hinder the sky, and the seven layers cut gray clouds. Birds fly down from our sight, looking down at the wind; The mountains, facing the east, run together as if facing the east. Far away, green locust trees line the wide road, Guan Gong He Linglong; The colors of autumn come out from the west and go through the city. In the north, there are five cemeteries, which are always quiet under the dew and green grass. Those who know the ultimate meaning of life will become ancestors; From now on, I will put my official hat aside and find the eternal road is the only happiness. " The poet's magnificent description and philosophical exclamation often cause people to sing when they climb the tower.

As early as the year of Tang Zhongzong Dragon, the title of Big Wild Goose Pagoda has already formed a custom. Each new Jinshi first had a banquet in Qujiang and Xingyuan, and then climbed the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, leaving the wall of the pagoda as a souvenir. At the age of 27, Bai Juyi became a scholar and wrote the poem "The kindness tower is the smallest among seventeen people". Liu Cang's more heroic title is "and the spring election wins the tour, and the apricot garden first banquets Qujiangtou; The title of the Wild Goose Pagoda and Dengxian is mentioned together, which shows that their hearts are full of the joy of spring breeze and they regard the title of Wild Goose Pagoda as a great honor. Later, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda formed the scene that "the walls of the small courtyard of the pagoda were all inscribed by Qing Xiang", but unfortunately, a fire in northern Song Shenzong destroyed the precious inscribed walls.

In Jionji, people naturally think of Xuanzang, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, who was the first abbot here. Xuanzang, a native of Yanshi, Henan Province, was a famous traveler, translator and Buddhist in the history of China. In 628 AD, he traveled westward from Chang 'an and arrived in India through difficulties and obstacles. He was carefully guided by Master Jie Xian. When he returned to the motherland in 645 AD, the imperial court held an unprecedented grand welcoming ceremony in Jionji, and dispatched 1500 mysterious vehicles and more than 200 embroidered Buddha statues and statues. Xuanzang brought back 657 Buddhist scriptures, and translated 74 Buddhist scriptures in Hongfu Temple, Jionji and Yuhua Temple successively, with a total volume of 1, 335. Among the four major Buddhist translators in China, he translated the most books and translated them best.

At the request of Emperor Taizong, Xuanzang also recorded the history, mountains and rivers, folk customs, product climate, political culture and religious beliefs of 16, 5438+00 cities and 28 regions and countries during his trip to 17, and compiled them into "Records of the Western Regions of Datang" 65438+. This legendary figure is honored as "Master Sanzang", and the story that he overcame 81 difficulties to learn from the West has been widely circulated since the Tang Dynasty. On this basis, Wu Cheng'en, a novelist of the Ming Dynasty, created The Journey to the West, one of the ancient Four Great Classical Novels in China.

The Wild Goose Pagoda is indeed the hometown of Buddhist classics, a temple built under the royal auspices, with a prominent position and a large scale, and it is also a scenic spot that cannot be ignored in your trip to Xi.

Introduction to Wild Goose Pagoda 1. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in Chang 'an Jinchangfang in Tang Dynasty (now southwest of Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province), also known as "Ci 'en Temple Pagoda". In the third year of Tang Yonghui (652), Xuanzang presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to preserve the Buddhist scriptures that Tianzhu brought to Chang 'an via the Silk Road. At first, the pagoda had five floors, then it was built with nine floors, and finally it was fixed as a seven-storey pagoda, with a total height of 64.5 17 meters and a base length of 25.5 meters.

2. The Wild Goose Pagoda, as the earliest and largest existing square pavilion-style brick pagoda in the Tang Dynasty, is a typical material evidence that the pagoda, a foreign Buddhist temple architectural form, was introduced into the Central Plains with Buddhism and merged into China culture, and it is a landmark building that embodies the wisdom of the ancient working people in China.

Xi 'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda, namely Ci 'en Temple Pagoda, is located outside Heping Gate, Xi City, Shaanxi Province. Tang Gaozong Yonghui was built in 652 to store the scriptures that Xuanzang retrieved from India. It used to be a five-story square tower, but now it is a seven-story square tower. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been destroyed by war and repaired many times, and the front and rear levels have changed, so there are three different views. It is said that when Wu Zetian was rebuilt, it increased to ten floors. After the fire, there are only seven floors left, 64 meters high. So, when did it become the seventh floor? In the autumn of the 11th year of Tianbao reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (752), Cen Can and Gao Shi once boarded the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to write poems, including a poem: "The four sides are covered with light, and the seven layers are covered with gray clouds." ("Going to Ji 'an Temple with Gao") It shows that in the eleventh year of Tianbao at the latest, the tower is already seven stories high. It is said that during the Chang 'an period of Wu Zetian (7OI —7O4), the blue bricks were converted into a square pavilion-style seven-story building, and the tower climbing ladder was also changed into a winding path leading to a secluded place. During the calendar year of Daizong (766-779), it was rebuilt into ten floors, but it was destroyed by war, leaving only seven floors. The main basis of this statement is the poem "Jionji Pagoda" written by Zhang Bayuan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty: "Ten floors are empty, and forty doors are facing the wind. But strange birds fly to the ground, because this amazing language has a long history. Back to the ladder, stepping in the dark is like piercing a hole, and climbing on it is like coming out of a cage. Fengcheng sunset is harmonious, and the spring trees in the city are rainy. " Zhang Bayuan, a native of Tonglu, Zhou Mu (present-day Zhejiang), was a scholar in the sixth year of Dali (77 1), and was the main book of Jurong in Dezong Town. In addition, in the Tang Dynasty, Gao Zhongwu compiled "Zhongxing as a Mirror of Miracle", which included a chapter of eight yuan's trip to Xin 'anjiang. The preface to Miracle Collection says: "From the head of state to the end of the calendar, there were thousands of narrators and 26 creators." In this way, there seems to be no doubt that Zhang's poems were written after Cen's. About the calendar year, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt into ten floors, which is called "Ten floors stand in the void and forty doors open in the wind". On the one hand, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been a seven-story pagoda since its reconstruction in the period of Wu Zetian. The so-called saying that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was converted into a ten-story pagoda was speculated by later generations and was completely false. The above two theories mainly come from the poems of Cen Can and Zhang Bayuan in the Tang Dynasty. Cen Can's "Tomorrow is dark on all sides, and the seven floors are cut with grey clouds" is scattered, but it is more realistic, while Zhang Bayuan's "Ten floors stand in vain, and forty doors open in the wind" are all integers, which are catchy and have a sense of law, just like Mu's poem "Four hundred and eighty halls in southern dynasties". The investigation of Chang 'an Annals written in the Northern Song Dynasty did not show that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt into several floors when Wu Zetian was in power, but it was later pointed out in the book A Journey to the South of the City that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt into ten floors when Wu Zetian was in power. Zhang Li's travels and notes are obviously not as extensive and reliable as Song's. Perhaps Zhang Li's basis is Zhang Ba Yuan's poems, which is even more doubtful. In addition, if the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is reduced from ten floors to seven floors, then judging from the up-and-down output of the existing tower, if three floors are added, the tallest tower body will be very small, and the outline of the whole tower will form a sharp cone, which is obviously inconsistent with the image of the general pavilion-style brick tower in ancient China, and also far from the pursuit of a relatively stretched and far-reaching roof in ancient China.
