Champion tower
An ancient pagoda with a history of nearly a thousand years stands in the Great Lake of Jin Shizhen, Xiangxiang City. Before liberation, the top of the tower was struck by lightning many times, and dozens of granites on the side of the tower body have disappeared so far. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, the tower is now cracked and crumbling. The local people have asked the relevant departments to spend money on maintenance. Shi Zai, born in Hu Da Village, Jin Shizhen, Xiangxiang in the tenth year of Xichun in the Southern Song Dynasty (A.D. 1 187), was the champion of the imperial examination and won the title of champion. After the formal discussion, the government doctor became an assistant minister. Nomads from the siege, Wang Rong was summoned by the emperor for many times, and was demoted to Shaoxing for denouncing the pacifists for offending the emperor and the traitors. In December of the second year of Southern Song Dynasty, Wang Rong died of depression at the age of 44. In order to commemorate the only champion in Hunan, later generations built this champion tower in Wang Rong's hometown. According to the records of Xiangxiang County Records, both the Champion Tower and the Gu Hua Tower in Xiangxiang were built in the Southern Song Dynasty. The tower is about15m high, divided into five floors, and its circumference is about10m. Both the inner and outer floors are granite, and the tower core can be climbed by one person. The ancient pagoda is surrounded by mountains and waters, not far from Zhao Gong Bridge, a stone arch bridge in the Qing Dynasty, echoing the ancient ginkgo one mile away. The river reflects the tower shadows, the willows hang down the bank, and the scenery is unique, which is the place that middle school students in Hunan admire and visit in the past dynasties. Mr. Zhou, the former chairman of Xiangxiang who has been engaged in research for many years, said: "There were less than 500 top scholars in China in previous dynasties, and it is rare to stand a tower after Rong's death. This champion tower can be regarded as a champion fossil. It is the witness of China's feudal imperial examination, and it has cultural value that cannot be underestimated. Relevant departments should attach great importance to it and rescue it as soon as possible. "
