Zhongxiang Wenfeng Pagoda

　　Zhongxiang Wenfeng Pagoda is situated in Yingzhong Town, Zhongxiang City. Originally constructed in the first year of the Guangming era of the Tang Dynasty (880 AD), it began as an earthen pagoda known as the “Pagoda of the White Milk Monk.” In the 23rd year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1390 AD), a brick-and-stone structure was added around the earthen core. It is a classic stupa-style pagoda, consisting of six parts: the underground chamber, base, dome, spire, finial, and top ornament, with an overall height of 21.52 meters. Notably, the top ornament alone accounts for more than half the total height, and the spire features as many as twenty-one tiers. The pagoda is entirely white, resembling an upright brush tip reaching toward the sky, symbolizing flourishing literary culture. It is now a landmark structure of Zhongxiang, a nationally designated historical and cultural city.

　　The architectural design of Wenfeng Pagoda is unique and stands as a rare example among ancient pagodas in China, making it highly valuable for cultural heritage research.

　　In 2006, it was designated as a part of the sixth group of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
