Myodoji Temple Twin Towers
The two pagodas of Linyi, also known as the "Wild Goose Pagoda", are located in the northern corner of Linyi County, facing each other from east to west. The twin pagodas were created in the Sui and Tang dynasties, which were originally temples, and now the temple has been destroyed, and only the twin pagodas remain. "Twin Towers Shadow", also known as "Twin Tower Oblique Shadow", refers to the first month of the lunar calendar, the fifteenth dusk of September, march, July 16 morning, the sun and the moon are located in the east and west at the same time (or opposite), the light of the sun and moon shines on the twin towers from the east and west, so that the shadows of the east and west towers slowly move from different directions to the middle, blending together. Historically, literati rioters have also described the "twin towers" as well.
Legend has it that the story of Xu Xian and the White Lady originally took place in Linyi. Because Fahai was jealous of Xu Xian and the White Lady's love, he covered them with "net tower bowls" in the two towers. The white snake is hidden in the west tower, called the "White Snake Pagoda"; the East Pagoda hides Xu Xian, called "Xu Xian Pagoda". The seventh floor of xuxian pagoda also contains portraits of the two people, and on the third floor there is a statue of Xu Xianren cast in iron, facing the West Pagoda, looking at each other day and night. Xu Xian's true love with the White Lady touched the Jade Emperor, and the Jade Emperor ordered Taibai Venus to put a treasure in each of the twin towers, so that they could meet once a year on Tanabata. Since then, every year at dusk on Tanabata, the shadows of the twin towers have slowly melted in the moonlight, snuggling up with each other, as if the husband and wife are reunited.

There is no historical record of this, nor is it handed down in a special text, which is difficult to examine; there is only a stone stele erected in the seventeenth year of Daoguang (1837) in the Qing Dynasty. The inscription of the stele is "Rebuilding the Tomb of Zhou Yimin Yidun", and the inscription says that during his lifetime, "his rich armor is in the world", "west to Sangquan, east across the salt pond, nanjo and north of the mountain, all of which are owned".
