The pagoda is a traditional Chinese building with a specific form and style that is common in Asia. It was originally a towering point-type building that enshrined or collected Buddha bones, statues, Buddhist scriptures, monks' remains, etc., and was called a "Buddha". After the 14th century, the tower gradually became secular.
In Chinese, Tower also refers to tall tower-shaped buildings, such as the Eiffel Tower, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the TV Tower, etc., but this concept is different from the Oriental Tower (Pagoda) described in this article. Not much related to that, see tower.
The stupa, a kind of Buddhist architecture in ancient India where the relics of the Buddha Sakyamuni were buried after his cremation, was introduced to China during the Han Dynasty and combined with Chinese native architecture to form the Chinese pagoda.
With the spread of Buddhism in the East, the architectural form of stupas has also spread widely in the East, and the pagoda, a traditional architectural form with oriental characteristics, has developed.
