Introduction to this paragraph
Leifeng Pagoda was originally built on Zhao Qianfeng, in front of Jingci Temple at the south bank of Hangzhou West Lake, under the Sunglow Peak of Nanping Mountain. Leifeng is the remnant vein of Nanping Mountain, extending northward. The lake is covered with lush trees. However, because the folk tower is above Leifeng Tower, it is called Leifeng Tower. The original tower * * * has seven floors, double eaves and big windows, which is very spectacular. Leifeng Pagoda used to be the landmark of the West Lake. In the old days, Leifeng Pagoda and Baokui Pagoda in Beishan were across the lake and had the reputation of "Leifeng is like an old woman and Baoju is like a beauty". The West Lake also presented the beautiful scenery of "one lake reflects two pagodas, and the north and the south confront each other". Whenever the sun sets, the tower shadow crosses the sky and a unique scenery appears, so it is called "Leifeng Sunset". During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the corridor outside the tower was burned down by the enemy. Bricks in the tower foundation were stolen by superstitious people, which led to the collapse of the tower on September 25th. 1924. In the Qing Dynasty, there was a poem that said, "The ancient pagodas arch and the green vines lean against the sky. A fairyland that knows the fate of fire, the arc peak obliquely reflects the sunset red. " After the collapse of Leifeng Pagoda, not only "Leifeng Zhao Xi", one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake, became an empty name, but "Nanshan scenery was completely empty", and even the mountain name was changed to Zhao Xi.
The origin of this paragraph name
Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
This data comes from Baidu map, and the final result is subject to Baidu map data.
Leifeng Pagoda is named because it was built on Leifeng Mountain in Zhao Xi on the south bank of West Lake. People refer to it by its place name, which is called Duleifeng Pagoda.
It is called Leifeng Pagoda, but few people know about Huangfei Pagoda. Leifeng Mountain is the middle peak of Zhao Xi. Lin Hejing, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote "Poetry of the Middle Peak": "The middle peak is divided into two roads, which can be seen in the village before sunset, and the autumn waves smell across the ridge", which shows that it was already a good place to enjoy the scenery. As for the origin of Lei Feng's name, according to "Spring Tour Forest", it was named after the old county man Lei built a temple. It has also been verified that Zhongfeng is also called Huifeng, and the word Huifeng is thunder, and later generations mistakenly watch it and mistakenly call it Lei Feng. Mao Xiling's Poems of Xihe said: "With the front peak of Nanping Mountain on the back, it is famous for its mountain scenery. ..... In the Song Dynasty, Xu Lizhi, a Taoist, built a room beside the tower, which was called Mr. Huifeng. This is clear and verifiable. " Later generations called the scenery of Leifeng Pagoda "Leifeng Sunset" and listed it as one of the ten scenic spots of the West Lake. It was a pun, with endless charm.
The historical evolution of this part
Leifeng Pagoda, formerly known as Huangfei Pagoda, also known as Xiguan Brick Pagoda, was called "Huangfei Pagoda" by the ancients. It was a stupa built by Qian Chu, King of Wu Yue, on the Zhaoqian Mountain on the south bank of the West Lake in the second year of Taiping and the second year of Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (977). At the bottom of the tower foundation, there is a well-hole underground palace, where dozens of precious Buddhist cultural relics and exquisite offerings, such as Asoka Tower and Dragon Lotus siddhattha gotama, are stored. On some tower bricks in the upper part of the ancient tower, Buddhist scriptures such as the Heart Sutra, the Whole Body Sharifutsu Sutra and the Great Rani Sutra are also engraved and printed. Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
In the second year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 120), Leifeng Pagoda was severely damaged by the war. It was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty (1 195- 1200), and its architecture and furnishings reappeared brilliantly, especially at dusk. After the Southern Song Dynasty, it was named Leifeng, and Leifeng Sunset has always been one of the most popular scenic spots in the West Lake. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522- 1566), the enemy invading the southeast coast besieged Hangzhou City and set fire to the Leifeng Tower. After the disaster, only the brick tower of the ancient pagoda was left, which was desolate and dignified. Wen Qixiang, a celebrity in Hangzhou in the late Ming Dynasty, combined it with the Baokui Tower on the other side of the lake and commented: "There are two towers on the lake, Lei Feng is like an old woman and Bao Ju is like a beauty." This statement is called ". Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
In the early Qing Dynasty, Leifeng Pagoda became one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake because of its incomplete beauty of bare brick pagoda and its close relationship with the myth and legend of the White Snake. Even Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong came to visit and taste the topic many times, and the name of "Leifeng Sunset" was widely read. For example, the book West Lake in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty praised Leifeng's sunset scene: "The solitary tower is independent, the bricks are all red, the vines are pulling, the green is lovely, the sun shines in the west, and the pavilions are resplendent and magnificent, reflecting the mountain light, such as the golden mirror is first opened, and the fire beads will be attached. Although Chicheng wastes Chardonnay, it is not an exaggeration. " At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was widely rumored that Leifeng Tower brick had the special functions of "exorcising evil spirits", "being suitable for men" and "benefiting silkworms", so it was repeatedly stolen. 1On September 25th, 924, the brick tower of Leifeng Pagoda, which had been in disrepair for a long time, finally collapsed, and the scroll All Tathagata Sutra, Whole Body Relic and Great Rani Sutra, which was hidden in some tower bricks, came out, but the "Leifeng Pagoda Sunset" scenic spot has since existed in name only. The collapse of Leifeng Pagoda has aroused the concern and discussion of the whole society, and people from all walks of life have been looking forward to rebuilding this famous ancient pagoda. /kloc-0 On September 25th, 924, a scroll printed by Qian Hongchu, King of Wu Yue in the eighth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (975) was found. The scroll was printed with Sichuan cotton paper or bamboo paper, which is a precious material for studying early block printing. From 2000 to 20001year, in order to cooperate with the reconstruction project of Leifeng Pagoda, the collapsed ruins were cleaned up, and the underground palace was excavated, and a number of important cultural relics, such as iron relic letters (including a gold lacquer pagoda), bronze Buddha statues of Sakyamuni, bronze mirrors, copper coins, jade figures and jade coins, were unearthed. At the end of 1999, the people's governments of Zhejiang and Hangzhou made a solemn decision: comply with the people's wishes, follow the concept of sustainable development, implement the principle of cultural relics protection, excavate the underground palace of Leifeng Pagoda, build the site protection facilities of Leifeng Pagoda, extend and expand the internal functions and appearance of the site protection facilities, and build a new Leifeng Pagoda according to the original shape, volume and style. The renovation project of Leifeng Tower was laid on February 26th, 2000, and the exhibition was successful. On October 25th, 2002, the new building of Leifeng Tower was completed as scheduled. The story of the white snake
The construction of Leifeng Tower has left four "world firsts" in the history of landscape protection and construction in China: steel frame as the architectural support, and tower-like buildings as the main load-bearing body in the world. In tower buildings, the number of copper pieces used is the largest, and the area of copper ornaments is the largest, ranking first in the world. The indoor activity space of tower building is the most spacious in the world. The internal cultural furnishings of tower buildings are the richest in the world.

The protective cover is divided into two layers, which completely protects the site of Leifeng Pagoda. Jinshan Temple
After the completion of the new building of Leifeng Tower, the sunset glow of Leifeng Tower, which has disappeared for more than 70 years, will reappear. The whole tower is richly decorated inside and outside, with exquisite and unique furnishings and complete functions, and shines brilliantly in the scenic spots and historical sites of the West Lake with a brand-new look and rich connotation. Tourists climb the new building of Lei Feng and stand on the five-story exterior platform. The beauty of the West Lake and the prosperity of Hangzhou are in the sight of tourists from afar. As the commanding height of the south line of the West Lake, you can see the rippling West Lake, the beautiful and dignified Wangzhuang, the new scenic spots on the south line that have begun to take shape, and the three green islands in the middle of the lake.

Edit this legendary "Leifeng Pagoda" in Qing Dynasty.
Legend of White Snake and Leifeng Pagoda
The white snake is a lovely life accepted by the West Lake. Although it is only a legend, it is well known to all women and children, and its popularity is far from comparable to that of Leifeng Tower.
Far more than many real people. The legend of the white snake has a long history, and there are earlier stereotypes. Look at the three pagodas of the West Lake in the story book of Qingping Mountain Pond. By the Ming Dynasty, it had been dramatized and put on the stage. Feng Menglong's "Warning Records", which collates its records, is entitled "White Niangzi Yongzhen Leifeng Pagoda". At this point, the story is basically completed, and it is closely connected with the place names such as West Lake in Hangzhou and Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, and will not be changed. In the Qing Dynasty, the authors of traditional Chinese opera and Quyi further enriched the plot of the legend of White Snake according to the folklore circulated at that time. The West Lake, the Broken Bridge and the Leifeng Pagoda were generously dedicated to him in all previous dynasties, which made her mark on the landscape of the West Lake, but the West Lake did not lose anything, thus adding a particularly bright color. Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
She is a demon and a fairy, but she doesn't want to be a demon or a fairy. Her ideal is the most ordinary and brilliant. She just wants to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life in the world. It is also because of her special ideas that she has become the most approachable figure in the legend. Leifeng Tower. In a sense, it became famous in Wan Li because it suppressed the white snake. When the Leifeng Pagoda appeared in The Legend of the White Snake, a sad ending appeared irrevocably. Yu, a scholar, said: The Leifeng Pagoda is only a summative shape, and it has become a sad symbol of the national spirit. Although the Leifeng Pagoda collapsed suddenly in 1924, it still occupies a big corner of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. In Song Dynasty, hermits wrote "See you in the village before sunset" and Yin's "Cloudy mountains and misty fog, floating pictures in thousands of feet, boats on the lake exhausted, lonely peaks still full of sunset red", which were sung throughout the ages. However, it is precisely because the legendary Leifeng Pagoda imprisoned the white snake that when it finally fell, a group of May 4th cultural adventurers, especially Lu Xun, could not help cheering heartily. The famous Leifeng Pagoda is generally considered as a scenic spot in the West Lake Pagoda Group. It is located on the same axis as the North Mountain Baokui Tower in the landscape layout of the West Lake. Before the collapse of Leifeng Tower, the West Lake once presented the beautiful scenery of "North and South are opposite, and one lake reflects two towers".
Jinshan Temple and Leifeng Pagoda
In the legend of Leifeng Pagoda and White Snake, people can't forget the Fahai monk who calls himself the "guardian" in Jinshan Temple. But why pull Jinshan Temple, which is far away from the Yangtze River, to the Leifeng Tower in the West Lake? According to Feng Menglong's Police Notes, Xu Xian and Bai Niangzi met Fahai Zen Master of Jinshan Temple after opening a pharmacy at Zhenjiang Wharf. Therefore, the Buddhist monk Fahai is related to this legend. However, Fahai written by Feng Menglong still seems to be a "positive figure", which is of great significance to Heaven. Perhaps because of the progress of the times, people's impression of Fahai today is a dramatic figure who does all kinds of evil. Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
Jinshan Temple, located on the Jinshan Mountain in the northwest of Zhenjiang, was built in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Built on the hill, the temple is a famous Buddhist temple in China. It is said that Fahai is also true. In history, Zhenjiang and Hangzhou had frequent contacts. There is a couplet in Jinshan Temple: "Come from Yunshui Cave, the mountains are lovely, and the sleeves are still covered with Wuxia rain;" Further into the depths of the sea and sky, the mail ship urged me to take the Zhejiang tide. "The general idea of this couplet is that it has just flown from the Rime Gorge in Sichuan, and the rain on the sleeves of Wuxia Gorge has not dried yet. To go to the depths of the sea and sky in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, the ship should catch up with the tide in Zhejiang as soon as possible. The "deep sea and sky" in the couplet refers to Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Why did Zhenjiang ancients write Hangzhou alone? It is understood that during the Song and Ming Dynasties, people who went to Hangzhou along the Yangtze River waterway used Zhenjiang as a transit station and post station. At that time, Hangzhou, famous for its silk tea, was in full swing, and businessmen from all walks of life rushed to come. Hong Shang is the object of "selling" by folk storytellers, so it is natural to bring what guests are familiar with into the content of storytelling.
Qian Chu, builder
The builder of Leifeng Pagoda was Qian Chu, the monarch of wuyue in the Five Dynasties. According to Zhang Dai's Dream of the West Lake in the Ming Dynasty, the Leifeng Pagoda was first built, and it was "planned to be higher than thousands of feet" based on the thirteenth grade. Unexpectedly, because of poor financial resources, only level 7 was built at that time. After a fire in the Yuan Dynasty, only the tower heart was left. Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
Qian Chu's evaluation is higher now. When the Northern Song Dynasty pacified Jiangnan, Qian Chu sent troops to help the Song Dynasty destroy the struggling Southern Tang Dynasty. After entering the DPRK, he was still King Wu Yue. In the third year of Taiping rejuvenating the country (AD 978), the land that Qian Chu presented as the base area of thirteen states in Zhejiang was returned to the Song Dynasty, and was named King Deng by the Song Dynasty. Qian Chu's actions left a historic contribution to the promotion of national reunification at that time. He believed in explaining things and built countless stupas in his life. Leifeng Pagoda is one of the famous ones.
Writer Zhang Dai
After the Leifeng Tower caught fire at the end of Yuan Dynasty, only the tower core was left. There is an anecdote in Zhang Dai's Dream of the West Lake in the Ming Dynasty. The general idea is as follows: "Li Changping said in the inscription that my friend had heard of the two towers on the West Lake and would say,' Baokui Tower is like a beauty and Leifeng Tower is like an old monk'." I appreciate this metaphor very much. Later, when my friends and I were watching the lotus, we wrote a poem, which contained a sentence,' Lei Feng leans on the sky like a drunk'. My friend jumped up and said,' I'll compare Lei Feng to an old monk, but I'm not as emotional as the drunk you compared me to.' Of course, Zhang Dai himself is also a great genius born and raised. In the poem "Leifeng Pagoda", he simply wrote vividly: "Leifeng Pagoda smells like an old monk. I can't get enough of seeing the West Lake every day. Sometimes there is smoke, the West Lake is a wine bed, and drunkards stand down to suck the Xijiang River. "
Edit this underground excavation
The entrance of the Millennium underground palace under Leifeng Tower is located in the center of the tower, with the first floor of the tower 2.6 meters above the ground, and the remains of the tower several meters high around the entrance. The entrance to the underground palace is sealed with a square slate, on which a huge stone is said to weigh 750 kilograms. On March 200 1 year 1 day, the underground palace of Leifeng Tower began to be excavated. The underground palace of Leifeng Tower is small, about 0.5m long, 0.5m wide and 1m deep. Leifeng Pagoda/Leifeng Pagoda
After excavation, it was found that a large number of offerings were placed in the underground palace, including 60 precious cultural relics such as the bronze statue of lotus, the iron letter with Buddha hair, and thousands of ancient coins from Kaiyuan Bao Tong. Among them, the iron relic letter is 50 cm high and weighs 100 kilograms. The gold-plated pagoda in the mysterious iron letter is an exquisite four-corner gold-plated pagoda, which is 35cm high and has a square base and a side length of 12.6cm. The pagoda is covered with water rust, and the four sides of the pagoda are decorated with bas-reliefs with the theme of Buddha telling stories. Through the hollowed-out part around the tower, you can see the gold container with Buddha hair hidden in the tower. Under the tower is a gold-plated silver box, the lid of which is decorated with exquisite peony patterns wrapped in double phoenix, and the four Chinese characters "Long live the Millennium" are evenly distributed around it. There is a belt around the silver box, which is inlaid with 12 very beautiful silver ornaments.

Edit this "bad luck" of Leifeng Tower.
Leifeng Pagoda is more unlucky than other ancient pagodas. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was still the grand gesture of "thousands of feet floating in the sky". In the Ming dynasty, it was greatly damaged. During Jiajing period (1522- 1566), the Japanese invaded Hangzhou and set fire to the eaves, flat seats, railings and top of Leifeng Tower, leaving only the brick tower. In an ancient painting of the West Lake during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Leifeng Pagoda was destroyed at the top of the tower, and ancient trees were swaying. The poet also described Lei Feng with poems and articles such as "Lei Feng is like a drunk in the purple smoke in the tower", "Wei Bao is like a beauty, and Lei Feng is like an old woman". Later, due to superstition, some ignorant people often grind tower bricks into powder and dig them into bricks to treat diseases or protect the fetus, and even describe bricks as a panacea for all diseases. Others dig scriptures from the tower in an attempt to make a fortune. For a period of time, the silkworms raised by silkworm farmers near the West Lake were frequently attacked by snakes, and the silkworm farmers suffered heavy economic losses. It is said that the brick of Leifeng Pagoda has the power to ward off evil spirits, because the white needle is pressed under it, so it was stolen seriously. By August, 1924, the foot of the tower had been hollowed out, and with other damage reasons, the ancient pagoda completely collapsed. After the tower fell, when people cleaned up the residue, they found in the brick hole that the scroll began to read "Made by Qian Hongchu, the grand marshal of the world military power". This is 84,000 volumes, rounded to Xiguan Brick Pagoda, which will be dedicated forever in August. "The year of Chayihai was eight years in wuyue, Qian Hongchu, and the year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (975) was the last year of Wu Yueguo, which proved the date of building the tower.
