Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Tianfeng Pagoda (天封塔) in the Haishu District (海曙區) of Ningbo city, Zhejiang, China. The pagoda was originally constructed in the Tang dynasty during the reign of Empress Wu Zetian, between the Tiance Wansui (天冊萬歲) and Wansui Dengfeng (萬歲登封) eras (695–696), and is named from the first character of the Tiance Wansui era (Tian 天) and the last character of the Wansui Dengfeng era (Deng 封). It is a hexagonal brick and wooden pagoda consisting of seven storeys, and is about 51 metres in height. The pagoda burnt down and was rebuilt several times over the centuries. The latest restoration was in 1989. In 1984 archaeologists found a large number of artefacts in the pagoda's underground chamber (地宫), some engraved with the date "14th year of the Shaoxing era" (紹興十四年), indicating that they were placed there during the rebuilding of the pagoda in 1144 following the destruction of the pagoda during an invasion by Jin dynasty (Jurchen) forces in 1129.
