In the vast and beautiful motherland, you can see the ancient towers everywhere. There are towers in the city, there are towers in the agricultural

village; there are towers in the mountains, there are towers in the riverside, riverside, lakeside, seaside; in the full of mysterious Buddhist

Buddhist temples, Taoist palaces and temples, there are towers, in the opulent, solemn and sacred palace, there are towers in the king's house. These thousands of

hundreds of ancient towers, the beauty of its shape, the structure of the clever, carving, decoration of the magnificent, are comparable with other types of ancient

generation buildings in China.

However, in China's early ancient buildings in the building has a pavilion, there are platforms and pavilions, there are Xuan has a pavilion, there are corridors have

hipped, there are residential bridges also have mausoleums, only the tower is not there. The original tower of this building is not inherent in our country,

but a foreign building. After the introduction of our country, the tower and our original form of architecture combined to form

a new type of architecture with Chinese national traditional characteristics. Therefore, architects call the tower of China's traditional construction

building in a late blooming oddball.

Then, when the tower is produced in what country, and when it was introduced to our country bud historical documents tell me

that a pagoda is a building for preserving or burying the "relics" of Shakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. The word "relics" in the original language

means dead bodies or bones. According to the Buddhist scriptures, after the death of Shakyamuni, his disciples cremated his body and formed many crystalline

Eastern Han Dynasty, with the introduction of Buddhism, the tower of Ancient India was also introduced to our country, and with our inherent

architectural forms and national culture, there are great changes and development. Ancient India's "Chitti" developed into our

cave temples, while the "Rushabo", which buries and enshrines the relics, developed into a variety of pagodas. From the history of the development of pagodas and the existing objects, all pagodas, whether they contain relics or not, are called relic pagodas. From this

See, the Chinese pagoda is from the ancient Indian "Rashida" development, evolution.

From the history of China's text development, in the early Chinese characters do not have the word "tower". Later, people

The character "土"

besides, to indicate the meaning of grave mound. In this way, the word "pagoda" not only accurately expresses its inherent

function of burying the Buddha's relics, but also phonetically indicates that it is the original building of ancient India, accurate, appropriate and wonderful.
