During the holiday some time ago, my parents and I went to Xi'an to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I was very happy.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is extremely beautiful!
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is divided into seven floors, each floor is equipped with four small and exquisite windows. There is a Zen room on the first floor. There are Buddhist scriptures and Buddha statues in the Zen room, including statues of Tathagata and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.
On the door frame of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are graceful lines carved with architectural patterns of the Tang Dynasty. They are beautiful and generous and are important materials for studying the history of Chinese architecture. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been listed as a national first-level protected cultural relic. My father said to me: "The Big Wild Goose Pagoda embodies the hard work and sweat of the working people of our country. It is the crystallization of the wisdom and perseverance of the working people of our country. If we don't cherish it and protect it now, how can we treat our ancestors right?"
Climbing up the stairs to the seventh floor, you can have a panoramic view of Xi'an. Look, at the front is the TV Tower, the tallest building in the northwest, and at the left is the grand Xiaozhai version. The entire Big Wild Goose Pagoda is majestic and has a strong national color. The most eye-catching ones are the four Buddha statues of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sha and Monk Tang. I seemed to have entered a dream world. I seemed to see Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Monk Sha protecting Master Tang Monk as he went to the West to obtain scriptures. Along the way, the three brothers killed monsters and captured monsters, repelled the attacks of monsters again and again, protected their master, and finally obtained the scriptures.
After visiting the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, my parents also told me that there are many ancient buildings like the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. I think it’s amazing that we have so many scenic spots and historic sites in Shaanxi. As Shaanxi people, we should feel proud and proud! Chapter 2: The Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi’an
People say: “The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a beautiful tower. It is a great tower and a mysterious tower. "This year, I went to Xi'an and saw the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. I was filled with emotion when I saw its beauty, greatness and mystery.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is beautiful because in front of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the largest musical fountain square in Asia. When elegant and beautiful music sounds, tall springs will suddenly appear on the water. As the rhythm of the music changes, the fountain also rises and falls happily very regularly, just like a group of children dancing happily. When night falls, the square is surrounded by colorful lights, the center of the fountain pool is rippling with blue waves, and the stars are dotted. The charming scenery decorates the Big Wild Goose Pagoda extremely beautifully.
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is said to be great. Not only does it stand tall and towering into the clouds, it is still intact despite thousands of years of vicissitudes, but it also has a history of the eminent monk Xuanzang Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty seeking Buddhist scriptures from the west. When it comes to studying for Buddhist scriptures in three days in the Tang Dynasty, because Tang Monk’s idea of ??obtaining Buddhist scriptures was not approved by the court, he found a completely new way. He was not accompanied by the disciples mentioned in "Journey to the West" along the way. The scriptures and several relics obtained from India were brought back to the Tang Dynasty. In order to protect the scriptures, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin built the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to store the scriptures, which is what people call the Sutra Pavilion. Tang Monk translated Buddhist scriptures there for more than ten years. Founded a major sect of Chinese Buddhism - Consciousness Only Sect. Isn't it great to have such an ancient pagoda with the essence of Buddhism?
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is said to be mysterious because according to legend, several relics brought back by Tang Monk from India were suddenly stolen. Later, people actually discovered an underground palace under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. According to historians' analysis, the relics are likely to be inside, but the country has not yet conducted cultural relic excavations. There is an underground palace under such a beautiful and great Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the stolen relics may be underneath. Do you think the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is mysterious?
Beautiful, great and mysterious, this is what I think Arriving at the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Chapter 3: The Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the place where Master Xuanzang translated scriptures. The indestructible sacred relics of Buddhism. Today, full of piety, I came to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, a holy place where the Buddha's light shines.
On the morning of October 2, we took a bus to the North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. When I got out of the car and took a look, I discovered that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was originally located in Ci'en Temple. It was majestic and tall, giving people a shocking visual enjoyment!
Walking into the temple, there are two A small building comes into view. To the east is the Bell Tower and to the west is the Drum Tower. Inside the bell tower hangs an iron bell cast during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, weighing 15 tons. There is a big drum in the drum tower on the west side. For a long time, people have regarded the Wild Goose Pagoda Morning Bell as one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong and it has been widely circulated. Of course, as a little curious person, I naturally wanted to go up and touch these thousand-year-old bells and drums, and feel the sound of bells and drums that have survived through the ages.
Looking south, I saw the majestic Big Wild Goose Pagoda. At this time, the tour guide’s words attracted me: In the beginning, there were two schools of Buddhism, Mahayana and Hinayana, and Hinayana Buddhism did not avoid meat and fish. One day, it was the Bodhisattva's alms day, but a monk in a Hinayana temple couldn't buy any meat to eat.
At this time, a group of wild geese flew by in the sky. A monk looked at the wild geese and said to himself: There is no meat to eat in the monk's room today. The great and compassionate Bodhisattva will definitely not forget what day this is. Before he finished speaking, the leading wild goose folded its wings and fell to the ground. . All the monks in the temple were shocked, thinking that this must be a manifestation of the Bodhisattva. They built a stone pagoda where the wild geese fell to the ground, gave up eating meat, and converted to Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, the pagoda is also called the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. This is the origin of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It turns out that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not only a holy pagoda that popularizes Buddhism, but also a widely circulated legend. This time, it really opened my ears (eyes).

Xi'an is a world-famous ancient city with many ancient buildings from the Han and Tang Dynasties. Today, I went to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an and visited a masterpiece of architectural art in ancient my country.
Let me first introduce you to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is also called Ci'en Temple. It is located in Ci'en Temple. The Jianfu Temple not far away is also called the Small Wild Goose Pagoda. Both pagodas are named after imitating the Indian Wild Goose Pagoda-style architecture. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was originally built with five floors, with a brick surface and an earth core. Unfortunately, it later collapsed. When it was restored and rebuilt, it had ten floors. In 704 AD, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty rebuilt it into a pavilion-style blue brick pagoda, which broke the tradition of the Tang Dynasty that all pagodas had odd floors. It is customary to increase the height to 10 floors. You see, this tower is ten stories high. How majestic it is. It is really a majestic Wild Goose Pagoda. In 931 AD, during the Five Dynasties, the Later Tang Dynasty renovated the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was lowered to seven floors, with a square plane and composed of two parts: the base and the body. In 1604 AD, the 23rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, while maintaining the basic shape of the tower body in the Tang Dynasty, a 60 cm thick cladding was completely built on the exterior. The tower base has a side length of 48 meters and a height of 4.2 meters. Above it is the tower body, which has a side length of 25 meters and a height of 59.9 meters. The total height of the tower base and the tower body is 64.1 meters. The walls of each floor of the tower are made of flat brick pillars and balustrades. There are large buckets on the upper parts of the pillars, and brick gates are opened in the middle of the four sides of each floor. The plane inside the tower is also square, with floors on each floor. There are escalators that can spiral up to the top of the tower, where you can have a panoramic view of the entire Chang'an City. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was a famous tourist attraction in the Tang Dynasty, so it has a large number of inscriptions by literati. There are more than 200 inscriptions on the monument in the Ming and Qing Dynasties alone. Wow, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is also a holy place for literature!
Cen Shen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once praised in his poem: "The tower is like a gush of energy, standing alone in the heavenly palace. When you climb out of the world, the road is empty. It is sudden and oppressive. Shenzhou is as majestic as a ghostly work. Its four corners block the daylight, and its seven layers cover the sky. "This poem perfectly describes the momentum of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
The North Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda outside the tower has the largest musical fountain in Asia. We were lucky enough to watch the fountain show. Wow, it really lives up to its name. The highest one is at least four stories high. These fountains rise and fall with the rhythm of music, which is very beautiful.
Outside the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is also the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Underground Palace, covering an area of ??nearly 3,600 square meters. It was opened to the public in 1980. There are giant national treasure-level murals painted on both sides of the passage, "Silk Road Style" and "Three Qin Range Rover" , depicts the grand occasion of the Tang Dynasty at that time, and records the great momentum of Emperor Shunzong during his lifetime. . There is also the tomb of Emperor Shunzong of Tang Dynasty, which is very foggy. The Xuanzang Temple displays items used by Xuanzang of the Tang Dynasty, which are well preserved to this day. There are also the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and Buddha for people to worship. It recorded the great momentum of Emperor Shunzong in governing the dynasty during his lifetime.
