The Sakyamuni Relic Pagoda on Yangjiaojian

　　Located in Tongzui Village, Xiangqiao Township, Qichun County, it is a tomb pagoda from the Yuan Dynasty, with only the underground chamber surviving. Built from blue bricks, it has a circular floor plan and a domed roof, with an inner diameter of 3 meters and a hollow height of 1.6–1.8 meters. The inner walls feature two tiers of niches, totaling 47 small recesses that house 32 small stone coffins containing relics. The pagoda enshrines the sacred remains of eminent monks from several generations at temples such as Renshou, Dongshan, Baolin, Honghui, and Dazhu Temple. Its large scale and the significant number of relics it houses are rare in Hubei Province, providing important physical evidence for the study of Buddhism’s spread in eastern Hubei and local religious customs.
