Introduction

The Shijia Cultural Buddhist Pagoda, located on the east side of Guanghua Temple in Chengxiang District, Putian City, Fujian Province, was built in the first year of the Qianlong period in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is about 30 meters high, built of stone in a five-layer octagonal structure, imitating the appearance of a wooden tower, with both delicate and ancient solemnity. The Sumeru pedestal at the bottom of the tower is embossed with the bodhisattva Guanyin. The eaves of each floor of the tower are thin and long, light and beautiful, with two layers of overlapping carvings under the eaves, depicting phoenixes, double-headed feathered humans, flying immortals, exotic flowers and plants, and other patterns. The interior of the tower is an octagonal hollow space, spacious and bright.
