After completion, it was the center of Buddhist activities in Nanzhao state and Dali state, and became a famous royal temple in Dali state.

The larger one in the front square is called Qianxun tower, and the smaller one at the back on both sides.Originated in India, the pagoda was first used as a Buddhist relic in the shape of a semicircular tomb. After it was handed down to China, it combined with traditional Chinese architecture and evolved into a variety of forms, such as Pavilion style, close eaves style, covered bowl style, King Kong throne style and so on. The three towers we see now are of close eaves type.In addition to the three pagodas, there are also one pagoda and snake bone pagoda.Chihiro towerThe full name of Qianxun pagoda is "Dharma Realm Tongling Mingdao Chengta". It was built in Nanzhao quanfengyou period of Tang Dynasty. It is said that it took Gongtao and Huiyi craftsmen 48 years to design and build it.Qianxun tower stands on a two-story tall platform. It is 69.13 meters high and has 16 floors. It is a rare even number tower with more floors in China.The structure of the tower is a hollow brick tower with dense eaves and hollow core. In ancient times, there were well shaped stairs for people to climb.From bottom to top, it is composed of tower base, tower body and tower brake. There is a white marble Buddha statue in the niche, and the niches on both sides are window openings. The direction of the window openings on the two floors is staggered alternately to facilitate the lighting and ventilation in the tower, and the staggered opening of windows is conducive to the firmness of the tower.From the third and fourth floors, the eaves of the pagoda gradually converge inward, and finally converge at the top of the pagoda. The outline of the pagoda body is not a rigid straight line upward, but a curve of adduction upward and downward and slightly convex in the middle. Its shape is similar to that of Xian small wild goose pagoda.Once upon a time, there was a bronze golden winged bird in each corner of the top of the tower, which was said to be used to suppress the dragon, demon and water monster in Erhai Lake.ZhaobiThere is a Zhaobi on the east side of the pagoda. On the Zhaobi there are four regular script characters of "Yongzhen mountains and rivers", each of which is 1.7 meters high. It was written by Mu Shijie, the Duke of Qian state in Ming Dynasty.There are two reasons for these four words: one is that there are many floods in Dali, "Yongzhen mountains and rivers" is intended to subdue the floods, and the Dapeng golden winged bird on the top of the tower is also a thing to subdue the dragon; the other is that after Dali was incorporated into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, "Yongzhen mountains and rivers" under the title of Qian Guogong (mu Shijie, the grandson of Mu Ying), who guarded Yunnan, was intended to defend Yunnan mountains and rivers to the death.大理崇圣寺三塔英语导游词3Dali has a long history and splendid culture. It is known as the "famous nation of literature". Dali is the settlement of the Bai nationality. More than 4000 years ago, the ancestors of the Bai nationality multiplied in Erhai area. After the establishment of a county in the Han Dynasty, they communicated with the Central Plains and became a transit station for the central dynasty to communicate with Myanmar and India. Dali has been the transportation fortress of Yunnan since ancient times. In history, the Southern Silk Road and the ancient tea horse road met here. Tour guide toolsDuring the Tang and Song Dynasties, Nanzhao and Dali established their capitals here. Dali, as the capital of Nanzhao and Dali, has had frequent cultural exchanges with the Central Plains for 500 years. It has built temples, built pagodas, carved stones and erected steles, and prospered in culture. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng temple, Hongsheng temple, Buddha Temple Pagoda, Cangshan temple, Gantong temple and Dehua stele in Dali are still well preserved. Today, we are going to visit the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali, a national key cultural relic protection unit, which is famous at home and abroad.Dear friends, now we are about to arrive at the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple in Dali. It is the symbol of Dali and even Yunnan. It enjoys high popularity at home and abroad and is an important tourist attraction in Dali.First of all, I would like to introduce Chongsheng temple, which is located at the foot of yingle peak of Cangshan Mountain, about 1.5 kilometers northwest of Dali ancient city. It is generally believed that it was built by the tenth generation of Wang quanfengyou of Nanzhao state in the later period of Nanzhao. Chongsheng temple has a large scale. According to the literature, the temple has a scale of "three pavilions, seven floors, nine halls and one hundred buildings". In Dali after Nanzhao, Buddhism was more developed, known as "Buddhist kingdom" and "Miaoxiang kingdom", while Chongsheng temple was known as "Buddha capital". Nine Dali kings abdicated and became monks, practicing here. After the completion of Chongsheng temple, it became the center of Buddhist activities in Nanzhao state and Dali state, and became a famous royal temple in Dali state. The holy name of Chongsheng temple is Guanyin, because the worship of Guanyin was popular in Dali area at that time. The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng temple, Nanzhao Jianji bell, Yutong Guanyin, zhengdaoge tablet and Buddha plaque, and Sansheng gold statue are regarded as the five important weapons of Chongsheng temple. Unfortunately, Chongsheng temple will encounter the Dali earthquake during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. Fortunately, the three pagodas still exist.The Chongsheng temple we see today is restored and rebuilt on the original basis. After the restoration and reconstruction, the overall layout is the primary and secondary three axes, which is divided into 8 platforms, 9 entrances and 11 levels. On the main axis, there are sixteen kings, the great kings, the stone carving, the wall, the golden bird, the mountain gate, the heavenly king hall, the Wang Hai building, etc. the buildings on the two sides of the axis and the secondary axis are well proportioned: the abbot hall, the guest hall, Luo Hantang and the patriarch hall show the essence of the classic architecture. The whole complex is full of ups and downs, scattered, resplendent and majestic.The three pagodas are a group of buildings in front of Chongsheng temple, so the three pagodas are also known as the three pagodas temple, which is the three pagodas Temple written by Xu Xiake, a traveler in Ming Dynasty, in his diaries of traveling to Yunnan, and the Tianlong Temple written by Jin Yong, a master of modern martial arts novels. The three pagodas are recorded in Xu Xiakes Travels: "the temple is under the tenth peak. It was built in Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty, and is famous for worshiping saints. In front of the temple, there are three towers, and the middle tower is the highest, square in shape and twelve stories in length, so it is now called the three towers. "The Three Pagodas of Chongsheng Temple are composed of one large tower and two small ones. The big tower is also called Qianxun tower. The distance between Qianxun tower and the two small towers in the north and south is 70 meters, and the distance between the two small towers is 97.5 meters. It is a tripod with a unified layout, harmonious shape and an integral whole.Qianxun tower, 69.13 meters high, is a square hollow brick tower with dense eaves. It belongs to the typical architectural style of Tang Dynasty, and its shape is similar to Xian small wild goose tower. The Qianxun pagoda has 16 floors in total, with a bronze bird in each corner of the top. The inner wall of the tower runs up and down vertically, with wooden stairs. You can climb the top of the tower and enjoy the panoramic view of Dali ancient city from the observation hole. Qianxun tower stands on a two-story high platform. On the east facing screen wall in front of the tower, you can see the four vigorous and powerful stone characters "Yongzhen mountains and rivers". Each character is 1.7 meters high. It was originally written by Mu Shijie, the grandson of muying, the Duke of Guizhou in the Ming Dynasty. During the 1925 Dali earthquake, except for "Chuan", the other three characters were destroyed. What you can see now is that they were carved according to the outline of Mu Shijie. There are two reasons for writing these four words: one is that there are many floods and evil dragons in Dali area in history. Therefore, to control the water, we must first control the dragon. But the dragon only respects the pagoda and is afraid of the Mirs. Therefore, as long as the pagoda and the Mirs on the pagoda exist, the dragon will not dare to do evil. Of course, the flood will be reduced. Another way of saying is that in the Ming Dynasty, Dali, which is located in the border area, has become a part of its territory. In order to fully express its adherence to this territory, it is more appropriate to "inscribe a stele" on the standing tower foundation.The two towers are 42.19 meters in height, each with 10 stories. They are a pair of octagonal brick towers with dense eaves. Above the eight stories, they are solid, below the eight stories, they are hollow. There are three copper gourds on the top of each tower, which are magnificent and solemn. The outline is like a cone, which is a typical architectural style of Song Dynasty. According to the relevant historical data, the construction of the North-South pagoda was later than the Qianxun pagoda, which was the period of Duan Zhengyan and Duan Zhengxing in Dali. Now the two towers that we see have deviated from the vertical line and are in a worrying tilting state, but dont worry, because they have been tilting for more than 400 years.Since its construction, the Three Pagodas of Chongsheng temple have not only experienced thousands of years of wind, rain and sunshine, but also experienced 30 strong earthquakes. Among them, during the great earthquake in Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty, most of the houses in Dali ancient city collapsed, and Qianxun tower also cracked like a broken bamboo. Ten days later, it was miraculously self compounded. In the 1925 earthquake, 99% of the buildings in urban a
