This attraction can be divided into three parts: the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the Da Ci\'en Temple, and the North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Originally built during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, it functioned to collect Buddhist materials that were taken from India by the hierarch Xuanzang.now I’d like to give u a brief introduction of Xuanzang.
Xuanzang is an accomplished hierarch in Tang dynasty,he started off from Chang\'an, along the Silk Road and through deserts, finally arriving in India, the cradle of Buddhism.Enduring 17 years and traversing 100 countries, he obtained Buddha figures, many kinds of sutras, and several Buddha relics.Having gotten the permiion of Emperor Gaozong, Xuanzang, as the first abbot of Da Ci\'en Temple, supervised the building of a pagoda inside it.With the support of royalty, he asked some hierarchs into the temple to translate Sanskrit in sutras into Chinese, which marked a new era in the history of translation.Based on the journey to India, he also wrote a book entitled \'Pilgrimage to the West\' in the Tang Dynasty, to which scholars attached great importance.
First built to a height of 60 meters with five stories, it’s now a little higher with an additional two stories.It was said that after that addition came the saying-\'Saving a life exceeds building a seven-storied pagoda\'.Externally it looks like a square cone, simple but grand and it is a masterpiece of Buddhist construction.Inside the pagoda, stairs twist up so that visitors can climb and overlook the panorama of Xian City from the arch-shaped doors.On the walls are engraved fine statues of Buddha by the renowned artist Yan Liben of the Tang Dynasty.Steles by noted calligraphers also grace the pagoda.
As for the reason why it is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there is a legend.
According to ancient stories of Buddhists, there were two branches, for one of which eating meat was not a taboo.One day, they couldn\'t find meat to eat.Upon seeing a group of big wild goose flying by, a monk said to himself: \'Today we have no meat.I hope the merciful Bodhisattva will give us some.\' At that very moment, the leading wild goose broke its wings and fell to the ground.All the monks were startled and believed that Bodhisattva showed his spirit to order them to be more pious.They established a pagoda where the wild goose fell and stopped eating meat.Hence the name \'Big Wild Goose Pagoda\'.
Da Ci\'en Temple
Da Ci\'en Temple is the home of Big Wild Goose Pagoda.During the reign of Tang emperor Gaozong, to commemorate the dead virtuous queen, royalty ordered the building of a temple named \'Ci\'en\' ,for which the status and scale far exceeded all others.Today, with one seventh of the original area, it still retains its grandeur.
Before the temple, there stands a statue of hierarch Xuanzang, the meritorious hierarch.Walking on and acro a small bridge, visitors will see the gates of the temple.
Entering the temple you will see two buildings-Bell Tower in the east and Drum Tower in the west.Inside the Bell Tower hangs an iron bell.It was molded in the Ming Dynasty and is very famous.
North Square of Big Wild Goose Pagoda
Surrounding Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the scenery is also quite charming, especially the square north of the Da Ci\'en Temple.There is a water area, which holds many records: in Asia, it is the biggest Tang-culture square, the biggest fountain and waterscape square, and the largest-scale sculptures area.In the world, it has the most benches, the longest light-belt, and the largest-scale acoustic complex.
