-= = National Treasure: Iron Tower = =-

The iron tower, also known as the Kaibao Temple Tower, was built in the first year of Renzongyou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1049), 956 years ago. 28 kinds of ochre glazed tiles were used in the construction. Due to the erosion of years, the original color of the tower has blurred. The sun and the moon are beautiful, but today they are white and black. Therefore, the iron tower is also called the black tower. Because the outer wall of the tower is all made of dark brown glazed tiles, it is solemn and heavy, and people commonly call it the iron tower after the Yuan Dynasty. The plane of the iron tower is an equilateral octagonal 13-story solid tower with a height of 55.88 meters. Layers of the tower are all laurel doors, from the first floor to the sixth floor, from north, south, west, north, east, south and back, and so on. In fact, the tower is over 55.88 meters high. A Qing's Chang Maolai described in "Tower Tower" that the foundation of the tower is "an octagonal square pool under the tower seat, with a small bridge in the north and a bridge entering from the north." "Like a Dream" has a record: "A plaque in the south reads:' The first tower in the world'. At present, there is no "octagonal prism pool" under the tower foundation, no "small bridge" in the north and no plaque of "the first tower in the world", but "entering from the north gate" is in line with reality. This shows that the foundation of the tower is buried underground. The buried part of the data is "Zhang Yu". It is known that the depth of the siltation layer in Long Ting area during the flood in the late Ming Dynasty was inferred that the "Changyu" of the tower was about 4 meters, so the original tower was 59 meters high. The reason is that in February1year, the Yellow River surrounded Bian Cheng. In order to protect this magnificent ancient building, people actively razed the octagonal pool under the tower seat and the small bridge in the north (that is, the first floor of the north gate through the bridge), leaving the existing iron tower. More than 900 years ago, the tower experienced the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties and the long years of the Republic of China. It suffered 43 earthquakes, hail 10, river disasters 6 times and wind disasters 19 times. On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival on the lunar calendar 1938, the tower was bombarded by Japanese invaders, which caused the tower to be black and blue. Although the tower has experienced natural and man-made disasters, its Wan Ru steel tower stands proudly in the northeast of Kaifeng.
