Big Wild Goose Pagoda

1、 Dayan Pagoda North Square Station

@The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, also known as the Ci'en Temple Pagoda, is located in Jinchangfang, Chang'an City, Tang Dynasty (now south of Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province). In the third year of the Yonghui reign of the Tang Dynasty (652 AD), Xuanzang presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to preserve the scriptures and Buddha statues brought back to Chang'an via the Silk Road from India. The pagoda had five floors initially, but was later expanded to nine floors, and the number and height of floors were changed several times. Finally, it was fixed to the seven story pagoda body as seen, with a total height of 64.517 meters and a bottom side length of 25.5 meters. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, as an early and large-scale Tang Dynasty brick pagoda in the style of a four sided pavilion, is a typical physical evidence of the architectural form of Buddhist pagodas, an ancient Indian Buddhist temple, which was introduced to the Central Plains region with Buddhism and integrated into Chinese culture. It is a landmark building that embodies the wisdom of ancient Chinese laboring people
