Description: |
|
They were constructed from the Five Dynasty period to the early
years of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 907 - 960) and were
originally located inside the gate of Nanxiang Temple.
In the
31st year of the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty
(1766), Nanxiang Temple was destroyed in a fire, and the twin
towers made of bricks were the only remnants. They are now
Shanghai Municipality Protected Historic Sites.
The ancient
pagodas, with seven stories and octahedral sides, are 11 meters
high. Completely built with bricks, they are finely crafted in
imitation of the wooden-structured towers in South China.
The
towers have simple and straight window lattices, finely made
bucket arches, delicately made boards and upright pagoda tops.
The pagodas are in perfect proportion and are typical of the
architectural style of the Tang and Song dynasties. The Twin
Pagodas of Nanxiang Temple are the only existing brick pagodas
from the Five Dynasty Period in China, and are of high value. |
