According to the records and analysis in the Records of Jingxian County, Jingzhou Tower was built before the Northern Wei Dynasty, when an iron plaque was hung on the ancient pagoda. During the Yongping period in Xuan Wudi in the Northern Wei Dynasty, buildings with floating pictures in temples were rewarded, so 65,438+3,000 temples were built in China at that time. According to this theory, this large-scale building can be traced back to 1500 years in the Yongping period of the Northern Wei Dynasty (508-5 BC12 BC). Jingzhou Tower is a well-preserved ancient building. The ancients used to describe the magnificence of Jingzhou Tower with "single pillar towering over the sky". No matter from the bottom of the tower, or from a distance outside, this tower is like a huge column rising from the ground, towering into the clouds and magnificent.
