Wenzhi Pavilion

　　The original construction date of Wenzhi Pavilion is unknown. In the 30th year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty (1615), a bell was moved onto the pavilion, after which it was also known as the Bell and Drum Tower. It was rebuilt in the 48th year of the Kangxi era (1709) and renamed "Wenzhi Pavilion," symbolizing the idea of "governing with culture."　

　　Wenzhi Pavilion stands approximately 20 meters tall and is divided into two sections: the tower and the base. It features arched passageways on all four sides, allowing passage through each. The platform above, standing 10 meters high and consisting of two stories, has a double-eaved, pyramidal roof with four corners. The upturned eaves are adorned with floral ridges, the roof is edged with glazed tiles, and a precious vase is mounted at the top. The platform is surrounded by concrete railings, offering a panoramic view of the town’s scenery at a glance. Wenzhi Pavilion is majestic, splendid, solemn, and elegant, serving as a symbol of Xun County’s ancient civilization and is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit.
