In order to enshrine and treasure brought back the sutra, gold and silver Buddha statues, relics and other treasures, approved by the court, Xuanzang personally presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. But until now, Xuanzang brought back the treasure in the end where, but no one knows. Wang Yarong that, in general, the ancient tower underground there is a palace, and the Falmen Temple pagoda under the palace, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda underground there must be hidden in the palace, just the Big Wild Goose Pagoda palace has not yet been unearthed. It is speculated that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda under the palace is very likely to hide the first time Xuanzang brought back the Buddhist treasures.

Great Wild Goose Pagoda, really related to geese? Xuanzang's "Records of the Western Regions of the Great Tang Dynasty" recorded in India, he heard of monks burying geese to build a tower of legend, explaining the most plausible theory of the origin of the Wild Goose Pagoda. The Great Tang Records of the Western Regions" Volume IX: In the Magadha country of Indra potential Luo Luo river mountain, there is a wild goose pagoda, according to legend, the geese thrown to enlighten the Hinayana believers, perhaps this account is the source of the name of the Wild Goose Pagoda. Legend has it that a long time ago, the monks in a monastery in Magadha (now in the southern state of Bihar, India) practiced Hinayana Buddhism and ate the three pure foods (i.e., geese, deer and calf meat). One day, a flock of geese flew in the air. When one monk saw the geese, he said, "We have nothing to eat today, so the Bodhisattva should know that we are hungry!" Before the words left his mouth, a goose fell to its death in front of the monk, who was pleasantly surprised and told all the monks in the temple that this was the Buddha's way of teaching them. So the geese fell in the place, with grand ceremonies to bury the geese to build a tower, and named the wild goose tower. Tang Dynasty monk Xuanzang in 629 years to 645 years, in India during the study tour, admired the wild goose tower. After returning home, in the Ci'en Temple during the translation, in order to store the scriptures brought back from India Buddha, in 652 AD, in the Ci'en Temple West, built an imitation of the Indian geese in the form of a brick tower, the tower is called the geese tower. The name continues unchanged to this day. Big Wild Goose Pagoda and Xuanzang Big Wild Goose Pagoda before the Great Ci'en Temple

Wild Goose Pagoda title Many famous Tang Dynasty can be seen Big Wild Goose Pagoda tower body tilt
Poets who visited the Big Wild Goose Pagoda have left a recitation of the best lines to this day, such as Du Fu's "high standard across the dome of the sky, the gale is no time to rest"; chapter eight Yuan's "but the strange birds flying on the ground, since the amazing language half-air! " and so on. Especially the Tang Dynasty poet Cen Sen's "with Gao Shi, Xue according to the Ci'en Temple Floating Map": "Tower like a gushing out of the lonely high heavenly palace; climb out of the world, Dengdao disk emptiness. Suddenly presses the divine state, lofty as a ghost work; four corners hinder the sun, seven layers of the dome of the sky. Peep down and point to high birds, down to hear the wind; even the mountains as waves, run together like the east. Green acacia clip Chidao, the palace is exquisite; autumn colors from the west, pale full of Guanzhong. On the north plain of Wuling, all the ages are covered in green. Pure reason can be realized, the cause of victory has long been the Zong; vowed to hang up the crown to go, the Jue Dao capital infinite".

Big Wild Goose Pagoda evening
As early as the Tang Emperor Shenlong years, Wild Goose Pagoda title has formed a custom. Where the new scholar and the first, first together in the Qujiang River (the emperor must also be in the Qujiang River side of the curtain on the upper floors to watch), the Apricot Garden to participate in the state banquet, and then climbed the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and inscribed on the wall of the tower as a souvenir. At the age of 27, Bai Juyi became a scholar, wrote "Ci'en Pagoda under the title, seventeen of the most juvenile" poem; Liu Cang even more boldly titled "and the first new spring to choose the winning tour, the Apricot Garden, the first banquet at the head of the Qujiang River; Purple Howe pink wall inscription of the immortal book, the willow xiaoqiao whisked the Jade Tower," to put the Wild Goose Pagoda title with the immortal and mentioned, can be seen that they are overflowing with the joy of the spring breeze, the title of the Wild Goose Pagoda as a great honor. Later, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has formed a "tower courtyard hut four walls, are all the Secretary of the title" of the scene, but unfortunately, the Northern Song Shenzong years a fire destroyed the precious title wall.
Tilting tower
The Big Wild Goose Pagoda was found to be tilting in 1719 due to repeated human damage and its own structural problems. 1960s, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was surrounded by over-exploitation of groundwater, which made the pressurized water level drop dramatically, causing a wide range of uneven subsidence on the ground, accelerating the tilting of the tower to sinking. To 1985 has tilted 998 millimeters, to 1996, the tower to the northwest tilt of 1010.5 millimeters, an average of 1 millimeter per year. After the relevant departments for more than 20 years of comprehensive remediation, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda's tilting condition has obviously tended to ease and stabilize, tilting amounted to 1001.9 mm in 2005. Since 2009, the government to protect the Big Wild Goose Pagoda ancient culture implementation through the closure of wells, recharge groundwater, accelerate the groundwater level back up. In the city has built 6 groundwater recharge demonstration sites. Hope that this as soon as possible to raise the groundwater level, and gradually "correct" the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. 2 years, Xi'an City, about 1,200 tons of water into the ground every day, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda has been gradually back to the right! Changing the tilt to the right Ancient towers are now "ten towers nine tilt", China's millennium capital of Xi'an, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in the millennium is also slightly tilted, but more than a decade of observation and research has found that it is now in the "return to the right" stage, do not have to worry about the second Leaning Tower of Pisa. Leaning Tower of Pisa. Buddhist architectural experts, Xi'an Museum, vice president of Wang Fengjun said in an interview with reporters: "Tang Big Wild Goose Pagoda tower body to the west northward tilt, this tilt should have existed for hundreds of years. Now China's ancient tower is mostly brick structure, easy to tilt but will not be too oblique, much less become the Leaning Tower of Pisa, such as the incline of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, if the Big Wild Goose Pagoda fell down early." Built by Chinese emperors in the Tang Dynasty for Buddhist scriptures obtained on a westward journey to India, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is now an icon and symbol of the ancient city of Xi'an. Standing on its north side of the square, careful people are not difficult to find its slightly tilted, in fact, more than ten years ago, professionals have begun to observe it, and take measures to let it slowly change the slope of the "return to the right". According to records, as early as seven hundred years ago, foreign missionaries came to China when measured found Big Wild Goose Pagoda tilt. Shaanxi surveying and mapping departments since 1985, when the measurement began, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda tilt speed in the process of accelerating to around 1996, the tower tilted to reach the maximum degree, the tilt reached 1010.5 mm, that is, more than one meter. Why is the tower tilted? Experts believe that buildings have a settlement phenomenon, "ten tower nine slant" is also a result of historical settlement. Big Wild Goose Pagoda custodian of the business section of the Deputy Secretary Sun Qi said: "64.7 meters high Big Wild Goose Pagoda as a whole is the bottom of the tip of the small, its center of gravity away from the center of the tower base will not be too big, unlike the cylindrical Leaning Tower of Pisa, the center of gravity of the tower body is easy to deviate from, and it will be more and more far away. Big Goose Pagoda is the most important is its center of gravity is low, will not appear more and more far away from the situation." Why did the Big Wild Goose Pagoda experience accelerated tilting? The study found that the main factor is the excessive extraction of groundwater at that time. Xi'an Big Wild Goose Pagoda Custodian in charge of Xie Shoutao said that in the 1990s, Xi'an city water use increased dramatically, when the weather was also dry, the river water volume decreased. Due to the lack of urban drinking water, the units around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda drinking water difficulties, they drilled their own wells, unrestricted extraction of groundwater. According to the study, the perennial serious over-exploitation of groundwater, so that the Xi'an city pressure water level decreased dramatically, the formation of an area of more than 200 square kilometers of groundwater decline in the funnel area, and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda area of the groundwater level has been reduced to less than 100 meters, and then caused the Big Wild Goose Pagoda safety and security of the discussion. The tilting problem of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda also aroused the great attention of the local government departments. The Xi'an municipal government then decided to implement well closure measures for more than 400 wells around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and increased groundwater recharge efforts to inject surface water into underground aquifers, in order to increase groundwater reserves. Subsequently, the improvement of the groundwater environment in Xi'an makes the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to the northwest tilt problem has been effectively curbed, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda at the end of 2003, the beginning of 2004 began to slowly re-slope "to the right". From the science and technology workers began to measure in 1985, for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda measurements have now been carried out
Gradually back to the correct Big Wild Goose Pagoda (5) 51 times. Especially in the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake added a measurement, only 0.2 millimeters more amount, and then that is "back to the right". Today, with more than 1300 years of history of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda as a whole belongs to the dynamic balance. Sun Qi said: "The measurement, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is still tilted more than 990 millimeters, but in a stable state, the rebound is very weak is good news. For the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the first rebound is the positive direction, that is, in the 'return to the right' process, and secondly, the amount of change in its year is very small, the smaller the variable the more stable." So, is the current Big Wild Goose Pagoda very safe? Experts believe that the influence of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda changes in a very large number of factors, such as earthquakes, man-made lake with thousands of acres of water around the periphery, especially the Big Wild Goose Pagoda North Square Music Fountain Plaza below a large reservoir leakage problems, etc., will inevitably be affected by the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Ancient buildings are not only afraid of fire more afraid of water Big Wild Goose Pagoda is no exception. As the Big Wild Goose Pagoda belongs to the brick structure of the soil core, its foundation is afraid of water rammed earth foundation, for underground water can be very sensitive. Sun Qi said: "The study found that the impact of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda of groundwater there are mainly two kinds, one is shallow groundwater, the second is pressurized groundwater. Xi'an City, back to the groundwater is mainly pressurized groundwater, the weight of the tower to withstand lasting changes; as for shallow groundwater is the less the better, the tower and its surroundings to minimize the retention of water, the purpose is to avoid letting the tower base of the soil appeared to be flaccid and thus affect the safety of the tower." Today, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda itself governance project has begun. Not only transformed and perfected the Big Wild Goose Pagoda base of seepage control, drainage projects and the top of the tower seepage control project, rain will not stay around the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but also rectified the tower around the environment does not engage in landscaping, minimize the water on the base of the tower of the infiltration. At the same time, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda custody also specializes in playing two detection wells to monitor the water level, grasp the water level changes, 24 hours on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda to implement real-time monitoring.

Qinshan shadow, Jingwei color, clear in front of me. But the frost anvil painting corner, still to the ear alarm. The children of the pear orchard white hair, sisters Zhaoyang Flying Swallows, singing and dancing are silent. A few times I saw the horse Wei Wei stage; not only the Han family camp." (Zhang Boju.

Thousands of years of titles to leave the victory, condensing the color of the sun in the twilight of smoke"; "the top of the top with the Ling longitudinal view, thousands of scenes around Xi'an. The Golden City is moving with hidden flags, and the Terracotta Warriors are cold with swords.

How many scholars with the ink scholar, scrambling to leave the inscription to the present day." I once climbed up to the highest floor and looked northward at the foot of Chang'an. The bell tower at dawn is still magnificent, and the battlements are still lofty. Where is the Weiyang Palace? The monumental forests have been famous for generations. It is desirable to immortalize the achievements of civil and military rule, and it is especially desirable to make the city fly." (Wen Chuqing, member of the Chinese Poetry Society) "About the Big Wild Goose Pagoda" - "About the Big Wild Goose Pagoda / What can we know / There are many people who come from far away / In order to climb up there / To be a hero once / Some come back to be a hero for the second time / Or more / Those who are not pleased / Those who have become fat / Climb up there / To be a hero / And then come down / And walk into this street / And then disappear / There are some who are not satisfied / Those who have become fat / Climb up there / And then come down / And walk into this street / And then disappear. Gone in the blink of an eye / There are also those who have the guts to jump down / And bloom a red flower on the steps / Then they really become heroes / Contemporary heroes / About the Big Wild Goose Pagoda / What can we know / Let's climb up / And look at the scenery around us / And then come down again" (Issa, the representative poet of the third generation, professor of the College of Chinese Language and Literature of the Xi'an International Studies University.)
