Legend of Yingxian wooden pagoda

1. The legendary wooden pagoda was built by Luban, the legendary ancestor of carpenters in China. Luban's elder sister and elder brother have a skill competition, and her elder sister says that she can make twelve pairs of embroidered shoes in one night. If her brother Luban can build a twelve-story wooden tower overnight, his brother will win. As a result, Luban really built a twelve-story wooden tower.

The completed wooden tower has sunk into the ground, so Lu Ban raised his hand and split it in two. The first half was shot by him in today's Inner Mongolia, and the remaining five floors slowly drilled out of the ground, becoming a modern Yingxian wooden tower.

Second, it is said that in order to protect the fruits of Luban's labor and let the wooden tower coexist with the years, the Jade Emperor sent Vulcan and Dragon Lord to send fire-avoiding beads and water-avoiding beads respectively. From then on, the wooden tower can be self-fireproof and waterproof, and when the flood reaches the tower, it will bypass the wooden tower and flow in all directions.

Third, it is said that Master Huineng dreamed of picking Ganoderma lucidum and returning it to Baogong Temple, and planting it on the lotus seat on the sixth floor of the wooden tower. Since then, this ganoderma lucidum has flourished every year and is evergreen all the year round. Yingzhou's land has good weather and good crops every year.

Fourth, it is said that there are immortals in Yingxian wooden tower, so there have never been any casualties since the tower was built.

Extended data:

Sagata has two unique features. One is the strangeness of building materials. No nails were used in the construction of Sagata, and the whole tower was built of wood. Second, the experience is amazing. It was built in 1 195, and it has been more than 800 years since this year.

According to research, in the past 800 years, Sagata suffered more than a dozen earthquakes of magnitude 5 or above and was plunged into war many times. However, it seems to be spiritual. It has stood on the land of China for more than 800 years.
