Eagle, rosy clouds and yellow flowers are blooming, and Ci 'en Tower stands tall and magnificent in the city center. A colorful painting of spring scenery is refreshing.
Ninghua County was founded in the 13th year of Tang Kaiyuan (725). During the Tang and Song Dynasties, with the further spread of Buddhism, tower architecture was widely used as a symbol of Buddhism. Unfair Buddhists have built the tower cleanly, and even many places regard it as a symbol of the state and county, so there is a saying whether the tower can become a state or county. Cienta began to make contributions in the later Tang Dynasty (923-926), and it has been more than 1000 years. This tower is a blue brick structure, with seven octagonal floors and a height of 20 square meters. Each floor has arches in four directions. The exterior decoration is simple. The typical Ci 'en Pagoda is a rare ancient pagoda and a symbol of an ancient civilized city. It is also a historical witness that the Hakka ancestors moved south in the Tang and Song Dynasties and brought the prosperous Central Plains culture into the border areas of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi. Although it has experienced weathering erosion and lightning strike, it still looks pale and remains the same. As a famous tower, it has been included in the ancient and modern book collection of Beijing History Museum. After the founding of New China, this ancient pagoda was valued and protected by the people's government. 1958 was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit by Fujian Provincial People's Committee. However, during the ten-year catastrophe of the Cultural Revolution, the Millennium Pagoda suffered a terrible fate. 1970, ninghua revolutionary Committee ordered the demolition in the name of "breaking the four old buildings" and "preparing for air defense".
In recent years, with the deepening of Hakka studies, Ninghua unveiled her mysterious veil on the stone wall and was understood and recognized by more and more people. Hakka people at home and abroad come to Ninghua to seek roots and worship their ancestors in an endless stream. After worshipping their ancestors and enjoying their natural and cultural scenery, they deeply regretted that the Millennium ancient pagoda no longer existed. In order to meet the needs of foreign economic and cultural exchanges, a scenic spot suitable for the current Hakka traditional culture and a pagoda to meet the needs of modern people for sightseeing and tourism will be added, and the implementation of the project will rely on voluntary fund-raising by the people.
