Wenchang Pavilion in Shaoyang

　　 The pavilion is built with a brick-and-wood structure, consisting of three stories and sixteen pillars. Each floor has four pillars at its corners, with intersecting brackets supporting the eaves and the rooftop. The base measures eight meters in both length and width, with each successive level decreasing in size, forming a square pagoda shape. Each tier features upturned eaves and ridges adorned with colorful paintings. The rooftop slopes downward on all four sides, topped with a spherical spire. The lower level is enclosed by brick walls, with a main gate to the south bearing a plaque inscribed with the name “Wenchang.” The upper two levels are made of wooden pillars and paneling, decorated with paintings of flowers, plants, insects, and fish, along with carved window grilles, showcasing a strong Dong ethnic architectural style.
