The entire Yuanjue Temple Pagoda is divided into three parts: the base, the body and the top of the pagoda. The Xumizuo on the first floor is engraved with beast-faced taotie, bucket hump, lotus, and lotus. Brick carvings are carved all around the base of the petals. In addition to absorbing the image of Hercules from ancient Greece, there are also figures of dancing and music in relief.

On the way back from Baishi Mountain, passing by Hunyuan, I saw the brick pagoda of Yuanjue Temple from Baidu Maps, so I came here and wanted to burn incense sticks. The temple is in an inconspicuous alley, and you can only see this brick tower when you walk in. This scenic spot does not seem to be open to the public, the gate is closed, but the door next to it is ajar, push the door in, and an old woman who looks at the temple indicates that it is not open to the public, but seeing that I have come in, she still enthusiastically let me burn incense , and allowed me to walk in the yard. The courtyard is not big, and there are a few dilapidated houses inside. The pagoda stands in the center of the courtyard and is beautifully built. The brick pagoda belongs to the tower with dense eaves, with nine floors in total. It seemed extraordinarily quiet and desolate. I wanted to write a review on Ctrip, but found that Ctrip does not have this attraction, so I submitted an application to Ctrip, and Ctrip reviewed and passed it. I hope more people can learn about this place. Finally, a brief introduction from Baidu is attached: Yuanjue Temple is commonly known as "small temple". It was built by Seng Xuanzhen in the third year of Jin Zhenglong (1158). The plane of the tower is octagonal, with 9 floors of dense eaves, all of which are built of bricks, and there are no steps to climb.

The small temple, Yuanjue Temple, is just across the wall from the big temple, Yong'an Temple. When you look up, you can see the towering iron temple at the top of the temple tower. I walked around the outer wall but couldn't find the gate of the temple, but saw a gap by an iron fence, so I drilled in and saw the nine-story Yuanjue Temple tower standing alone in the courtyard after the snow . The small pagoda is an octagonal solid brick pagoda, which was also built in the Jin Dynasty. On the top of the iron brake is an iron phoenix. When the wind is strong, the iron phoenix will rotate with the direction of the wind. It is not only a kind of architectural decoration, but also Played the function of weather instrument, such a shape, is the only one in China. Later, when I was looking through the information about the small temple pagoda, I saw that its full name was the Sakyamuni Relic Pagoda of Yuanjue Temple, and I wondered if there were relics of eminent monks hidden in the pagoda or the underground palace of the Pagoda?

Yuanjue Temple is commonly known as "small temple". It was built by Seng Xuanzhen in the third year of Jin Zhenglong (1158). It is a group of ancient buildings centered on the pagoda. In the 1930s, Japanese invaders destroyed the wooden buildings in the temple, and now only one brick tower remains. Brick pagodas were built during the Chenghua, Wanli and Xianfeng years of the Ming Dynasty.

In the old city of Hunyuan County, there are old houses around for a long time, most of which are ruins, brick towers stand quietly, with the afterglow of the setting sun, and the sound of tower bells in the ears, there is a kind of inexplicable loneliness
