Shawan Wenfeng Pagoda

Wenfeng Pagoda is situated at the junction of Guanxiang Lane and Buyun Lane in Beicun, also known as Wenchang Pavilion or Wenkui Pagoda. It was first built in the 60th year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1721). The pagoda once served as the highest point in ancient Shawan and can be accessed via Jinshili Lane on Anning West Street. This hexagonal three-story structure not only functioned as a feng shui building for the He family’s Liugeng Hall, but also enshrined a statue of the “Wenkui Star” deity. It was originally a place where local scholars and children would come to pay their respects before beginning their winter studies. The pagoda was constructed to promote the flourishing of literary culture in Shawan and to encourage students to study diligently and strive for progress.
