The tower is designed as a plane octagon with five floors, and a circle of verandahs extends from the bottom floor, which is called "second-order circular turn" and forms double eaves with the eaves of the tower of the ground floor house, so * * * has six tower eaves. There are dark layers under each layer, so the structure is actually nine layers. The appearance of the dark building is a flat seat, and railings are set along the flat seat of each floor, so that you can watch from a distance and your body and mind will blend in with nature. The whole tower is 67.3 meters high, which is about 2.2 times the diameter of the bottom floor. The proportion is quite thick, although it is very high and dignified. The eaves of each tower are basically straight, and the corners are very gentle. The flat seat is coordinated with the tower eaves of each floor in its horizontal direction and compared with the tower body; By comparing with tower eaves in material, color and treatment, coordination with tower body is a necessary transition between tower eaves and tower body. The flat seat, tower body and tower eaves overlap, the division of labor is clear, the explanation is clear, the sense of rhythm is emphasized, the contour line is enriched and the horizontal line is increased. Make the towering tower look back at the earth from time to time and sit firmly on the earth. The treatment of double eaves on the ground floor further strengthens the sense of stability of the whole tower.
Because the tower is built on a 4-meter-high two-story stone platform with two columns inside and outside, it forms a double-layer sleeve structure. There are columns and poppers between columns, horizontal members such as ground and ground between column feet, and cross beams between inner and outer tanks, so that the double-layer sleeve is closely combined. Inclined braces are widely used in underground buildings, which play the role of ring beam in structure and strengthen the integrity of wooden tower structure. When the tower was built more than 300 years ago, it survived a 7-day earthquake and still stood. There are statues in the Ming building of the tower. The Buddha statue on the first floor is tall and solemn, and the dome caisson on the top gives people an unpredictable feeling. There are six Tathagata portraits on the inner wall of the first floor, which are moderately proportioned and brightly colored. The flying on both sides of the top of the Six Tathagata is more lively and full, which is a rare masterpiece in murals. On the second floor, due to the light from all directions, a main Buddha, two bodhisattvas and two colleagues are arranged very vividly. Three-layer plastic square Buddha, facing all directions. Five layers of plastic Buddha sitting in the middle, eight bodhisattvas sitting in eight directions. Decorating statues in the tall space without dark layers in the center of the tower to enhance the solemnity of the Buddha statue is a model of reasonable design of building structure and use function.

4. The diary of primary school students should write about the majesty of Yingxian wooden pagoda. When you walk into Shanxi, what you can feel is the simple folk customs, what you can see is the sight of cattle and sheep everywhere, and what you can listen attentively is a hymn of Populus alba.
Yingxian County in Shanxi Province is an ancient city with a history of more than 900 years. There is a street here called Liao Dynasty Street, which is said to have been built in Liao Dynasty. In the middle of the street stands an ancient wooden tower known as one of the four wonders of the world, in which the Buddhist relics of two eminent monks are enshrined. I stayed here with my parents for a long time. If it is a trivial matter to build such a tall tower with advanced equipment today, how did our ancestors complete such a big project in ancient times more than 900 years ago? /I can't help but get lost in thought. There is also a Guanyin statue in the center of the square. My mother seems to have a soft spot for her and has been taking pictures there.
Liao Dynasty Street can be described as antique. Although there are many shops on both sides of the street, its decoration is entirely based on ancient times, with clear wooden doors and carved roofs. The business atmosphere here is not strong, and it has become a good place for people to relax. I have long heard that Shanxi's special snack is a bowl of rice noodles. My mother bought me a bowl, which is really delicious. After a day of shopping, watching and enjoying, I realized the wisdom and perseverance of our ancestors here. It was because of their efforts that we enjoyed the picturesque scenery several years later.
5. What is the beauty of Yingxian Wooden Pagoda? If you want to tell me what's interesting about Yingxian Wooden Pagoda, I've lived there for 20 years, and I think it's nothing. Hehe, it's only 63 meters high, and then it's all made of wood. At that time, a nail was useless, all made of wood, but now it's a little crooked because of its age, and only two layers have been opened. I grew up near the wooden tower. The courtyard of the wooden tower used to be a primary school, where my mother went to school. As soon as I entered the wooden pagoda, there was a very high Buddha, especially high. There are many legends about the wooden tower, saying that there are dust-proof beads, fire-proof beads, water drops and shock-proof beads inside.
So many natural and man-made disasters have not been destroyed. They were all safe and sound when the Japanese set it on fire. There are many legends and they are also very interesting. It is said that Yingxian County is only a small county, and many antique buildings were built last year. Now it is brand-new and beautiful. I like to ride my bike around the street when I have time, and I am very happy to see a little change. It's a pity that it's not fun to go to Yingxian. Hehe, there are many places to see. Xiaoshikou is a place that impressed me deeply. The grass in Happy Valley is as high as one meter.
Hehe, I should go. I don't know what it looks like now. Forget it. I just want to introduce something I am familiar with. Hehe, welcome to play.

On the sixth floor of the wooden tower, there is a circle of Ganoderma lucidum around the lotus roof, which is lush all year round.
