Jingtang Pagoda, known as the Buddha Pagoda of Sakyamuni, is now located in the ancestral hall compound of Zumiao Road, Foshan City.
The Sakyamuni stupa was originally dedicated to the pagoda hall of the ancient temple in Xinfeng Road, Foshan City. It is a large-scale display in Futu Temple, an ancient temple in Jingtang, so it is called. According to Fang Zhizai, the Buddha Pagoda of Sakyamuni was cast in the 12th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1734), and then a white jade pagoda was built in the 46th year of Qianlong (178 1).
During the Cultural Revolution, Jingtang Temple was partially demolished and the tower was smashed into pieces. A stone letter was found in the tower, containing more than 200 relics, and ten treasures such as canals, agates, corals, gems, pearls, amber, jade, gold, blue gold and platinum were attached.
1987, the museum restored the original broken fragments according to their original appearance, making them regain their light. Sakyamuni's stupa belongs to Ashoka Pagoda, which is 4.6 meters high and square, and is nested after casting in sections, weighing nearly four tons. The tower body is cast with relief patterns such as lotus petals, flying sky, rolling grass, etc. There are small bronze buddhas in the side niches around it, and the words "Sakyamuni Buddha" are cast above it.
Sakyamuni's stupa is a rare large iron tower in Guangdong, and it is also an important material for studying Foshan's iron smelting and its technological level.
