According to the old book, "Taiping Tower was built in Jinxianhe period (326-334), with Taiping Tower in front of it, Zhenwu Hall in front of it, Huangyuting and Shihuabiao behind it." The existing tower was rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty. After many overhauls in later dynasties, the last reinforcement and maintenance was in 2009.
Taiping Tower is a brick-wood structure with seven octagonal floors (eleven floors in the tower), with a circumference of more than 30 meters and a height of 43 meters. Before the maintenance in recent years, the tower brake was only covered with bowls, and the tower was 35 meters high. The tower wall is a masonry structure with simple structure. The side length of the bottom tower ventricle is 1.3m, and the ventricle is connected with the east, south and west walkways. The caisson on each aisle is divided into two sections, and the stairs are seated through the wall. There are inclined columns on the bottom floor and no inclined columns on the second floor. The waist eaves and seats of each floor have brick-made imitation wood double-copy casters, which are carefully made. From the eaves of each tower to the corner beam, there is an obvious way to rise. The bucket does not rise with the rise, but only rises from the eaves. The corner beam is made of stone. There are no windows on each floor, except for the cross passage and stairs, and shutters are set around. There are more than 600 inscriptions on the top of the tower, which were cast in the first year of Longxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 163). Granite stone is widely used in the tower body, and granite is also used as the reinforcing member above the stairs except for the entrance of the walkway at the bottom, the doorway and the corner beam on the caisson.
The Taiping Pagoda has a solitary eaves and upturned corners, and its momentum is magnificent. The tower is hollow, with one floor and four doors on each floor, and there are niches on both sides to worship nearly a thousand brick-carved Buddha statues, with beautiful image and vivid charm. There are steps in the tower, which can go up and down to the highest floor through the building and bypass the corridor. In the past, there was a poem praising the cloud: "Zhong Ming moved to the tower and looked up at Tianzhu to form a double scene. It's amazing that there are clouds everywhere in Anhui city! "
During the maintenance of Taiping Pagoda, from the inscription that opened the remains of the underground palace, it was verified that Taiping Pagoda was originally a Buddhist pagoda of a boy scout and a monk, and was later destroyed by the fire of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty and rebuilt. In addition, there is a temple next to the tower, with Zhenwu Hall in front and Huangyu Pavilion in the back, which is the Dojo of Zen Master Qin Hui in Taiping, Zhou Shu. During the Hongwu period in the late Ming Dynasty, it was robbed twice and then rebuilt. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the temple was burned down by the rebels led by Zhang of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Only the ancient pagoda was preserved, but all the wooden structures in the pagoda were reduced to ashes.
Taiping Tower was renovated again in 2009. In ancient times, there was an ancient temple in Taiping Temple next to the pagoda, where Zen masters such as Song Fayan, Qin Hui and Fojian once gave lectures, and the incense was flourishing. At present, there is a cultural relics management office next to the tower, which displays ancient cultural relics and calligraphy and painting. And Zhang Henshui Memorial Hall.
Taiping Tower is one of the oldest existing towers in Anhui Province, so it is called "the first tower in Anhui". The hollow tube structure with stairs and floor in the wall is an intermediate form of China ancient tower from the hollow tube structure with wooden stairs in the tower to "folding on the wall", and a large number of bricks are used for ground treatment, which is an intermediate link in the history of architectural technology development of China ancient tower. 198 1 was announced as the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in Anhui province. On May 6, 20 13, it was promoted to the national key cultural relics protection unit.
