Leifeng Pagoda is a famous ancient cultural relics building in the mainland, which has a very strong cultural heritage, and the most deeply involved with it is the story of the White Lady.
1. Leifeng Pagoda and White Snake
The story only mentions that the White Lady was pressed under the Leifeng Pagoda, which closely links the traditional story with the Leifeng Pagoda, plus the White Lady is Chinese well-known story, so that many people still come to the Leifeng Pagoda to find out whether there will be white snakes here.
In the story, the White Lady falls in love with the mortal Xu Xian in order to repay the favor with her sister Xiao Qingxiafan.
At that time, Xu Xian was just a young man in the medicine shop, but he had great ambitions in his heart and wanted to become a well-known divine doctor.
After he met the White Lady, he fell in love with the latter, and the two came together as they wished to run a drug store together.
With the support of the White Lady, Xu Xian did become the owner of a medicine shop when his life was in full swing, but the monk Fahai came to the door and insisted on accepting the White Lady.
However, because Xu Xian had always refused to believe and defended the White Lady everywhere, Fahai had no way to start.
Until the white lady drank the male yellow wine and revealed her original form in front of Xu Xian, Xu Xian was scared to death, and the story began to climax.
The White Lady stole the Immortal Grass to save Xu Xian, but Xu Xian still refused to believe that her mother was a white snake, although she only doubted in her heart, but unconsciously she was also alienating the White Lady.
Later, Xu Xian came to the Leifeng Pagoda, and the White Lady used spells to attract water in order to save people, which had a very classic water flooding golden mountain.
Fahai was ready to take the White Lady, but accidentally found that the latter was pregnant, so after giving birth to the child, he pressed the White Lady into the bottom of the Leifeng Tower.
It was not until the two children came of age that they prayed three times and nine times that they saved their mothers and the family was reunited.
The story has never left the Leifeng Pagoda, especially when everyone learns that there is indeed a cultural relic building of Leifeng Pagoda in reality, and they will be even more curious about what the tower where the White Lady is imprisoned?
Second, the ancient Leifeng Pagoda
Leifeng Pagoda has a long history and was completed during the Northern Song Dynasty.
Initially, the Emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty wanted to repair the Leifeng Pagoda to 13 floors, but when the construction was completed, only five floors were completed.
The pagoda is engraved with the Yanhua Sutra, enshrines 12 arhats, and is a well-known pagoda temple in the local area.
Feudal people believe that leifeng pagoda has the role of male and evil spirits, so every brick and tile in the tower is coveted by people.
In the years of Leifeng Pagoda, in addition to people taking a brick from time to time, it has suffered many setbacks. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was destroyed, and during the Jiajing period, the Leifeng Pagoda of wukou was set on fire.
The fire made the Leifeng Pagoda scarred, but in the eyes of the worldly people, the scars became another taste, and everyone recognized the role of the Leifeng Pagoda more, convinced that it would be possible to ward off evil here.
As the fame of Leifeng Pagoda grew, many uneasy and kind people came here and began to dig up the treasures in the tower.
The Leifeng Pagoda, which lacked official protection, became more and more dilapidated under the destruction of the crowd, and it was not until 1999 that the Leifeng Pagoda was given the opportunity to rebuild.
In order to better understand the structure of leifeng tower and make ideal restoration maps, in 2001, 21 years ago, an archaeological team entered the tower to conduct reconnaissance.
Third, there are "secrets" under the Leifeng Tower
After inspecting the entire tower, they quickly found that there was a hole in the bottom of the Leifeng Tower.
Not only is a boulder weighing 750 kilograms "guarded", but there is also a hole under the boulder that is difficult to detect.
It is said that when archaeologists saw this boulder and speculated about the existence of the underground palace, many people could not help but think of the story of the White Lady.
Everyone speculated whether after removing the stone, a python would come out of the sky.
After all, the 750-kilogram boulder is very stressful for a giant python, not to mention, this stone has existed here for a long time, even if there is really any creature underneath, it is difficult to live to this day.
However, the existence of the underground palace can still arouse everyone's curiosity, if there is no legendary white lady below, then what is the significance of the existence of this underground palace?
With this curiosity, everyone still opened the underground palace, and at the moment when the door of the underground palace opened, many people were stunned by the scene in front of them.
There are a variety of cultural relics stored here, and the variety is eye-opening.
These artifacts are of great value to archaeologists, and in the later process of collation, people were once again shocked by the list of collections.
Among all the collections, the sterling silver Ashoka Pagoda containing the Buddha's conch hair relic is the most prestigious, and the entire Ashoka Pagoda is the most critical in addition to the scarcity of materials.
It can be said that if you want to have this treasure, you must meet the three conditions of heaven, place, and place, no matter which one is missing, there will be no Ashoka Pagoda that can be seen today.
As for other artifacts, nearly 60 artifacts were obtained, and a large number of ancient coins were found there.
Although the underground palace was not opened as everyone thought, the legendary White Lady could be seen, but the discovery of cultural relics also made everyone very excited.
After all, through these treasures, we can truly perceive what kind of stories there are in that era that has long since left us.
The super high artistic value and historical and cultural value will surely exceed the existence of the White Lady. We are also very fortunate that the wisdom of the ancients protected the cultural relics in this dungeon.
During the time period when the Leifeng Pagoda was stolen, if this 750-kilogram boulder did not exist, I believe it would be difficult for us to have the opportunity to see these complete cultural relics again.
It is very likely that they will be exiled abroad like the heads of the twelve beasts, and it will be difficult to return to the embrace of the motherland.
There is an introduction to the underground palace at the bottom of Leifeng Tower, which is also marked in the information of Leifeng Tower.
After reading the introduction, many tourists feel disillusioned with the story of the White Lady like the original archaeologists, but when they see the harvest of the archaeologists, they are also happy for them, and this spontaneous consensus makes us closely linked.
