Surrounded by Luohan Mountain Forest Park, Toutangba Park and Panlong Park at the foot of the mountain.
It is a tourist attraction developed and built in Wenshan in recent years with Wenbi Pagoda as the core.
The climbing path of Wenbi Pagoda is 457 meters long, and the stone steps of Dali are 18 meters wide, with 999 steps, which are zigzag and divided into three sections.
There are lawns and flowers in the middle.
The origin of the name of Wenbi Pagoda: It is said that the main peak of Dongshan intersects with the peaks on both sides, forming the word "Wen". The top of the mountain is horizontal, so is the tower. From a distance, it looks like a huge word "Wen".
Wenbi Pagoda was built in the reign of Emperor Kangxi, named Gongyi Gong Xue. It was once called "Wild Goose Pagoda Autumn Wind", which is a unique landscape of Wenshan in the old days and one of the eight old scenic spots in Wenshan.
Why build a tower? What was the original intention of building the tower? Some people say that it is a town demon to calm the flood; Because according to historical records, since the Qing Dynasty, there have been frequent floods in Wenshan, and the tower was built to calm the floods and ensure peace.
The old tower is seven stories high, five feet eight feet, and 19.33 meters high. It is inlaid with couplets, "In February, laurel trees fight for wonders, and iron-painted silver hooks explore the moon hole; "A river with a horizontal shadow and mountains connecting mountains" vividly summarizes the geography and landforms of Wenshan. "
The tower has been eroded by wind and rain, and its body gradually collapsed.
In the middle of the Anti-Japanese War (1944), the Japanese invaders advanced on southeast Yunnan, and the Ninth Army built fortifications in Dongshan, and all the remaining towers were demolished.
After Wenshan was established as a state, all the party and government leaders in counties and counties had the intention of rebuilding the stupa.
1983 Wenshan County's overall urban construction plan was expanded to "Dongshan Park".
1997 the renovation project of the new tower started in an all-round way, which lasted for one year and was completed at the end of March 1998.
This new tower is very creative. The most distinctive feature is that 999 steps were built from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Taoism believes that nine is the number of yang, 29 is the number of Chongyang, and 39 is the number of Sanyang, which means the traditional auspicious meaning of "three yang opening Thailand", and "Tai" is the "Tai Gua" in the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, which means good luck.
Climbing these 999 steps symbolizes the blessing of people's auspicious and healthy life and shows the flourishing career of Wenshan people.
This also gives the new writing style pagoda new cultural connotation and symbolic significance. Now Wenbi Pagoda has become the most important tourist attraction in wenshan city, which integrates natural and human landscapes, and it is also a good place for urban residents to climb mountains and do morning exercises.
And from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there are lights all the way. Every night, lights are flashing and colored lights are put together.
From a distance, the writing tower at the top of Dongshan Mountain has become an attic in the air, a mirage and a fairyland on earth, which is dreamlike and beautiful.
Climbing the second step, the pen tower is getting closer and closer, and the tower with carved beams and painted buildings is becoming more and more beautiful and clearer. Here, overlooking the railings, the distant mountains are towering and undulating, the blue sky and white clouds are leisurely, and the Wenshan city view at the foot of the mountain seems to be smaller.
Of course, it is also more open and spectacular.
On the wall in the middle of the steps, the large-scale relief "Running to the Future" is carved with scenes of Wenshan ethnic minorities' work, life, song and dance entertainment. This is a mural reflecting national customs and culture. The relief production process is fine, large-scale and beautiful.
It shows and expounds the long history of Wenshan people of all ethnic groups, and it is also an ideal portrayal of Wenshan people's pioneering and enterprising, building their hometown and looking forward to a better future.
Further up, there is a monument square with the preface made by the leaders of Wenshan County Committee: "Rebuilding Wenshan Bi Tower", which is an introduction to the reconstruction of Wenbi Building, and a list of units and individuals who donated money for the restoration and reconstruction of Wenbi Building.
Climbing to the top of the writing tower, is there a feeling of victory and joy at this moment?
Standing at the peak and at the foot of the writing tower, I feel relaxed and open-minded, which can be described as "going to the writing tower to see the small Wenshan". From here, you can see the natural environment of wenshan city and its surroundings. The scattered adjacent buildings and the Panlong River around the city are more real and eye-catching, which makes you feel that the Wenbi Pagoda is born and magnificent.
The newly-built pen tower is 49 meters high, octagonal, with seven floors and eight corners. Simple and elegant, the whole tower is red, which looks magnificent and solemn.
Poems and paintings inside and outside the tower, carved beams and painted buildings, are magnificent and interesting.
In the corner of the tower, there is a string of bells hanging, which will make a tinkling sound whenever the wind blows.
Looking at the tower, there is Jin Cikun's poem, "The power of writing is strong and the mountains and rivers are far away, the sky is lush and the brushwork is ancient and modern leaders, and it is clear." In the north, there is Yang Xingyue's poem "I got two mountains of writing, I got a jade inkstone, and I got a river to set up a west China to wash the cuiwei." In the southwest, there is Dai Guanglu's "style of writing is the epitome of ancient and modern history, and mountains and rivers reflect the beauty of the sun, the moon and the earth".
Several couplets show the essence, spirit and verve of Wenshan, and write the momentum of Wenshan meeting the sea.
Entering the tower, on the wall and top of each tower, there are mainly poems, paintings and calligraphy. There are flowers, trees, birds, animals, humanities and other images, dazzling.
From the second floor to the seventh floor, we can go to the corridor outside the tower to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Fiona Fang and wenshan city for dozens of miles.
The beautiful city under our feet is Wenshan County, where the state capital is located. It's a small city in the southeast of Yunnan, with high-rise buildings, scattered houses with different styles, well-planned streets, vehicles and pedestrians whizzing by, and a development zone under development. The mountains around the city are continuous, and the opposite green Xishan guards Wenshan City, inlaid with Xihuashan Park, which is known as the "Wenshan Grand View". The Panlong River winds through the city from north to south, nourishing this land. Outside the city, there are many hills, and crops and plants flourish all year round, raising Wenshan people.
The villages in the farther countryside are the homes for rural farmers to live and work in peace and contentment.
