Master Minghui Pagoda

　　　　0 Master Pagoda is situated in Hongni Village, Hongti Township, approximately 35 kilometers east of the county town. The village is small and nestled among mountains on all sides. The pagoda was constructed on the ruins of Haihui Temple at the foot of the purplish-brown Zifeng Mountain. On the back of the pagoda is an inscription carved in the third year of the Changxing era during the Later Tang Dynasty (929), recording an anecdote about Master 0. It states that in the fourth year of the Qianfu era of the Tang Dynasty (887), he served as the abbot of Haihui Temple when someone reported that Bao Guang intended to kill him. The master said, “I have long been unafraid of life and death; if I am executed, it will be the repayment of a karmic debt.” On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month that year, he was indeed killed. Later, his disciples, including Chongzhao, enshrined his relics and, under the decree of the Luzhou military governor, built this pagoda. Standing over ten feet tall, the pagoda is square in shape, with a single-eave, five-tiered, four-sloped roof design and a domed spire with a pointed top. The body of the pagoda is adorned with carvings of Vajra figures—muscular and powerful—as well as lively and graceful dancing figures. The four sides feature engraved scrollwork floral borders, rendered in a refined, dignified, and elegant style. In 1965, it was designated as a Provincial Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
