Pagoda of Master Puzhao
Author:
The Pagoda of Master Puzhao stands to the east of Wanghai Tower and was constructed in the second year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. It is a hexagonal brick-and-stone structure, comprising a base, a body, five tiers of densely eaved cornices, and a finial. The base is a Sumeru pedestal built of stone, while the body is constructed of brick in a hexagonal plan; its eaves are adorned with carved bracket sets, and tower‑like finials are sculpted at the corners. In front of the pagoda stand two steles that document the temple’s setting and history: one is the “Stele of the Life and Deeds of Master Puzhao,” composed by Zhipu on the Mid-Autumn Festival in the thirty-second year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty; the other is the “Stele Erected to Reaffirm the Sect,” also known as the “Stele Commemorating the Continuation of the Tradition,” erected in the sixteenth year of the Daoguang era (1836). On May 16, 1992, the People’s Government of Jixian County designated it as a county‑level cultural relic protection site.
