Five reconstructions of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda
The first time:
The original architectural pattern of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is to imitate the famous and only stupa in India-Fogaya (Dajue Pagoda), with five floors and a height of 60 meters.
The second time:
Later, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi felt that this Indian-style building was not in harmony with the overall architectural style of Chang 'an, so he rebuilt it and raised the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to 9 floors.
The third time:
During Chang 'an period (70 1-704), the court built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda for the third time. Wu Zetian broke the convention that pagodas in Tang Dynasty had even and odd floors, and increased the height of pagodas to even 10 floors.
The fourth time:
After the Five Dynasties, in the second year of Changxing in the late Tang Dynasty (93 1), the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt for the fourth time in the late Tang Dynasty and restored to the seventh floor again. Later, several major earthquakes occurred in Xi 'an, and the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda fell and the tower was broken.
The fifth time:
In the thirty-second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1604), the Great Wild Goose Pagoda was repaired for the fifth time, which was a major maintenance and reinforcement project. On the basis of maintaining the basic shape of the tower in the Tang Dynasty, a 60-cm-thick coating was completely built on the outside. The tower is 64.5m high and 25m long, covering an area of 206 1 m2. This is the Big Wild Goose Pagoda we saw today.
