One of the ancient "Eight Scenes of Juye". "Juye County Records" contains: "The Yongfeng Tower was built by the Tang people, but it didn't stop there, and the Song people continued it." According to textual research, this tower was built in Jiayou period of Northern Song Dynasty, about 1000 years ago. It is a symbol of Juye ancient civilization.

The tower is an equilateral octagonal four-door pavilion brick tower. According to "Juye County Records", in the early Ming Dynasty, the flood flooded and Juye was annihilated, and the tower did not reach Grade II. There are five floors above ground, with a total height of 30.3 meters. The heights of the first to fifth floors are 6.3, 6.5, 4. 1, 3.9 and 3 meters respectively, and the pagoda is 6.5 meters (including Baoding), with a perimeter of 40 meters at the bottom and 36 meters at the upper part.

Other levels are composed of two prominent parts, which are intertwined and complicated. There are ticket gates on the east, south, west and north sides of each floor, with different light and shade, or into the patio or straight into the cloister in the tower. The height of each floor of the tower decreases step by step from bottom to top, and the points are collected appropriately. There is a tower room on the ground floor, which can be accessed from the north gate.

The stupa is a Buddhist building and a place to worship the "relics". Sanskrit is called "pagoda", transliterated as "pagoda" and "Buddha's reality", meaning "square grave" and "spiritual hall". So it is also called the Vatican Tower. As early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, the architectural form of the pagoda was introduced into China from India with the rise of Buddhism, and then influenced by China traditional culture and pavilions, terraces, buildings, pavilions and other ancient buildings, it gradually evolved into the China pagoda with unique artistic form and style. Tower and temple are inseparable, either the tower is built for the temple or the temple is built for the tower. Yongfeng Pagoda is located in the Giant Buddha Temple in Juye County before Confucianism (Juye County Records), so it is also called the Giant Buddha Pagoda. The Great Buddha Temple is named after eight bronze buddhas in the temple. Originally covering an area of more than 20 mu, it is located on the east side of Yongfeng Tower. There are Buddhist temples and pagodas in the temple, and the cypresses are towering, covering the sky and the sun; Smoke around Xia Wei, dusk drums and morning bells; There were a constant stream of tourists and strong incense, which was a famous tourist attraction in Juye at that time. Today, there are no temples, only magnificent pagodas, which span thousands of years and bear in mind the vicissitudes of history, leaving a string of tragic, magical and moving legends. ...

There is no historical record to verify the origin of the name of Yongfeng Tower. According to legend, the ancient wilderness is low-lying and stagnant. There are often black dragons making trouble and flooding here, which makes people miserable. King Tota Li Tian was ordered to subdue the demon and divide the pagoda into three sections. The bottom of the pagoda was lowered to Yuncheng, the tower body was thrown off the giant field, and the top of the pagoda fell to Jinxiang, firmly stopping the head, body and tail of the black dragon respectively. The Black Dragon surrendered, the flood receded, and Konosawa gradually dried up, revealing fertile land. Therefore, later generations named the tower "Yongfeng", which means to bring evil and good luck to the town and pray for a bumper harvest every year. Although this is an ancient myth and legend, it reflects the strong belief of ancient working people in overcoming natural disasters and their yearning for happiness.

After numerous disasters, the Yongfeng Tower was rebuilt many times before it was preserved. However, since the late Qing Dynasty, wars have been frequent and state affairs have become increasingly bad. Yongfeng tower has been riddled with holes and is in jeopardy. After the founding of New China, we attached importance to strengthening the protection of ancient buildings. 196 1 Juye county people's Committee allocated special funds for the rescue repair and reinforcement of yongfeng tower under extremely difficult economic conditions. After the Cultural Revolution, man-made destruction was serious. In addition, the tower is surrounded by water and is severely weathered. The tower is increasingly inclined, bricks fall off and the hole at the top of the tower collapses. 199 1 year, the people of the county donated 200,000 yuan to completely repair the Yongfeng Pagoda. After half a year, the Vatican Pagoda took on a new look, reappearing its former charm and becoming a beautiful landscape.

The two stone pillars in the middle of the back porch are engraved with "July 21st, the forty-first year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty" and "Reconstruction of Wanping Zhang Hong in Juye County by Xuanyilang: Inscription". The top of the hall stands and the beams overlap, showing superb architectural art. This Dacheng Hall is modeled after the Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple in Qufu, which is the most complete existing ancient building in southwest Shandong and has high artistic value.

After the founding of New China, the former site of the Confucian Temple was occupied by the grain department, and Dacheng Hall was used as a granary. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the state paid special attention to the protection of cultural relics. 1982, Shandong Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau allocated special funds to repair Dacheng Hall which was on the verge of collapse. 1995, the Grain Institute moved to Dachengmen, and the statues of Confucius and Sipei were restored in Dacheng Hall. A platform was built in front of the temple. At present, the Confucian Temple is gradually restoring its original buildings. It has become an important foundation for people to pay homage to the sages, strengthen patriotism education and a window to show Juye's historical civilization.

In the early 1960s, Linlintai was dug up by the Armed Forces Department of Xiaguantun Commune and raised to build a shooting range. The existing platform is about 4 meters high, 48 meters long from east to west and 20 meters long from north to south. According to 1979 survey and exploration, it is found that the original site is 73 meters long from east to west and 52 meters long from north to south, covering an area of about 3,800 square meters. Ash pits have been discovered, and many fragments of red pottery with sand, Han pottery fragments, clam shells and animal teeth have been unearthed. "Zuo Zhuan" records: "In the spring of the fourteenth year (48 BC1), Xiao Ye was set in the west, and his uncle rode in the forest, thinking that it was unknown to others." Zhong Ni said, "Ye Lin". "History of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty" also states: "In the thirty-ninth year of the Zhou Dynasty (48 1 BC), I first married Ono, my uncle's family, and I got a forest, thinking it was unknown, so as to put others at risk." Zhong Ni said, "Ye Lin". The Chronicle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty also records: "In the thirty-ninth year of the Zhou Dynasty (48 1 BC), when I was first employed in Ono, when I was a minister of the Shu family, I got a beast with a corpse, oxtail and horseshoe, and a meat horn on my head, so I killed it strangely. Confucius sighed, "Ye Lin, who's here?" Let the disciples bury it. It's for Kirin's tomb. Kirin came to the world, but no one knew it, but was "killed by resentment." Confucius deeply regretted that he had never met a talented person in his life and was touched by the scene. He wrote an elegy for Kirin: "Tang Yu is mourning in the sky, and now is not the time to ask for it, and Lin is worried." I haven't written a book since then.
