As the tallest and oldest wooden stupa in the world. Yingxian wooden pagoda has experienced more than 940 years of wind and rain. Although the main material of Yingxian wooden tower is the most common wood in people's lives, even under such circumstances, the 940 storm and 940 scars did not make this wooden tower fall.
Not only do you choose wood as the main material of your house, but the Yingxian wooden tower is fixed with more than 50 kinds of bucket arches instead of a steel nail. Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was built on a platform four meters high. The overall height of the pagoda is 67.3 1 m, and the diameter of the bottom layer is as high as 30.27 m. The whole pagoda intuitively feels like a plane octagon from the outside. It is not a miracle of world architecture that such a tower without a nail and a reinforced concrete has persisted in the wind and rain for more than 940 years.
On the other hand, we look back at the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Although they have existed for a long time, the materials they choose are still very strong compared with Yingxian wooden tower, especially the Eiffel Tower is metal, and the combination of various parts is strengthened by welding and steel nails. Compared with it, Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is amazing.
