We can see that there is a stone monument of Jinji Pagoda Temple erected by the village. From the description, the village was built in the Tang Dynasty. The village originally had an ancient temple called "Sheng Hui Temple", there is a tower inside the temple, called "Jinji Pagoda". The tower was nine-story, later changed to "nine-story tower", so the village named nine-story tower village, and then slowly referred to as nine-story village.
It is said that a number of years ago, there was a monk will be here temple, Buddhist temple is tall, the temple is magnificent, the right side of the temple, towering a magnificent stone tower. According to the Ming Dynasty Jiajing five years (A.D. 1527) "Jinji Tower repair monument" records: "Kuang Guan will be the temple, right Jinji Tower, repair stacks, I do not know from what generation, created in what dynasty, from a long time." To the Ming Dynasty Chongzhen two years (AD 1629), Deng Youkui to be repaired.
It is said that the tower is made of nine pieces of bizarre skeleton stone plate, magnificent, magnificent. Tower of the seventh floor, there are about 5 meters high eight-pronged stone pillars, each prism, each carved 7 Buddha, 56, and each with its name. The upper end of the stone column, supported by a stone lotus basin, petals realistic, ghostly, basin in a conical stone pier about 2 meters high, cone tip chiseled with a cup size of the round holes, holes can be inserted into the flagpole.
We now see the center of the towering is the Jinji Tower remains part of the relics. The bottom of the lotus seat is delicately carved, each side is also carved with exquisite Buddha, but are destroyed. Standing in the center is an eight-pronged stone pillar, there are really eight sides, each side carved with seven Buddha statues. Now the statues have all been destroyed leaving only empty niches. The pagoda is said to have been destroyed at the time of the Four Olds.
According to the Qing dynasty Daoguang thirteen years (AD 1833) "repair the monks will temple monument" records: "the village lives by the river, the west of the river there will be the monks will temple ......" encountered two in the here! I met two men walking in this area, and when they saw me taking pictures of the ruins, they chatted with me. The moncler jackets outlet store, the original in the nine levels of the village south of the east-west direction there is a river, which is called what? The Pagoda is a great way to keep the river from becoming a monster.

We are now looking around here. There is also a broken stone tablet lying on the ground here, the handwriting is still very clear, Qing Guangxu twenty-two years, that is, 1896. It is said that this monument was originally in front of a city god temple in the north of the village, 1958 with the demolition of the temple at the same time, and then the village to build a house, as a stepping stone built under the door frame, to be preserved. From the content of the carving is recorded in Jinan Province on the results of a lawsuit in the village of nine levels, so it is called "notice monument".
When the nine-stage tower disappeared, no one can say. In the early years, only two levels of eight-sided tower base. In the current Zichuan double Yang town Yang Zhai village has a seven-level octagonal pavilion-style brick tower, from the structure, shape, size, etc., and the original nine-level tower is very similar. And Yang Zhai tower previously did not have a base, later generations in order to make it spectacular, in the bottom of the tower around the base of the stone, right as a base. Legend has it that a good person once measured, this Yang Zhai tower tower body and nine village tower base, size actually match everywhere. The descendants have a poem that says: "The original tower into two towers, the tower body tower seat two separate homes. If it were not for the Zen master's magic power, Yang Zhai would not be able to see (build) the pagoda."
Of course, this is just a legend, at most a coincidence.
