In the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong (son of Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong, husband of Wu Zetian and later Wu Zetian) built the Wild Goose Pagoda for his mother, Empress Wende. Xuanzang, a famous monk, once translated the scriptures here. He first built five floors, imitating the pagodas of the western regions, and later built seven pagodas. During the reign of Wu Zetian in Chang 'an (70 1-704), Empress Wu Zetian and nobles rebuilt it on the original site and built a seven-story blue brick tower (on the other hand, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt in 704, and the tower was as high as 10 floor. In 93 1 year, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt in the Five Dynasties and the later Tang Dynasty, and it was reduced to seven floors. After the end of the Tang Dynasty, Jionji was repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and the temple was burned down, leaving only the Big Wild Goose Pagoda alone. Pagoda is a pagoda, and level seven refers to seven floors, so it means seven-storey pagoda. Buddhists believe that the seven-story pagoda is a giant Buddha, about 100 meters high. It is a great merit to build such a giant Buddha to support it. (This is mentioned in many classics, so you can refer to it. If you save a person's life, then you get better merits than this. Tower is a popular building, and it is also a memorial and worship building. This pagoda originated in India and is the birthplace of Buddhism. The original tower in India was shaped like a tomb. A hemispherical tower is built on a square platform, on which minarets of various shapes are made. In ancient Indian Sanskrit, the transliteration of such a tower is called "pagoda", which means to bury the tomb of Buddha. After incineration, the Buddha bones become colorful and sparkling beads and are buried in the "stupa". This seven-story pagoda is called the seven-story pagoda. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, stupas were introduced into China with Buddhism, and combined with ancient buildings, which combined the characteristics of China's northern and southern buildings and pavilions, and developed various ancient pagodas in China. It can't be said that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a seven-level pagoda. It should be said that in the Tang Dynasty, seven floors were built, which was also in line with some Buddhist spirits and stresses. During the Tang Gaozong period, because Xuanzang's floating picture was always 30 feet high, the imperial court allocated funds to build a five-story brick tower in the west courtyard of the temple on the grounds that the project was huge and difficult to realize, and the mage was unwilling to work hard. This pagoda is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which means it was called Big Wild Goose Pagoda at that time.
