The full name of the Dabai Pagoda is Sakyamuni Buddha's Real Body Relic Pagoda, which is the symbol and symbol of Wutai Mountain. It is located in the Tayuan Temple, and the Tayuan Temple is named after the pagoda. The appearance of the Great White Pagoda is roughly the same as that of the White Pagoda in Beijing Beihai Park, but its scale is several times larger, reaching a height of more than 50 meters. It is said that in the past, pilgrims often walked around the White Pagoda to fulfill their vows, chanting scriptures or kowtow while walking. When Mongolian and Tibetan Buddhists go to Wutai Mountain, they must first pay homage to the first holy site of the "Five Sacred Sites of Tayuan Temple", which is the Dabai Pagoda.
The base of the Dabai Pagoda is square, the whole body is pure white, and the body of the pagoda is shaped like a algae bottle. From the bottom to the top, it is thick and thin, and then from thin to thick, and then from thick to thin, with alternating thickness and shape. On the top of the pagoda, there are eight copper plates to form a circle, on which is a wind-milled copper vase. On the edge of the disc, 36 pieces of copper hanging eaves are hoisted, and three wind chimes are hung at the lower end of each hanging eaves. Whenever the wind is sunny, the clouds move over the tower, the birds fly around, and the wind blows the bells, leisurely forming a rhyme. Don't have a taste of elegance.
