Famous pagoda culture

Outside the north gate of the village fort where the pagoda is located, there are deep ditches, two natural huge stones arranged on the left and right, like Wolong on the left and crouching tiger on the right. People originally built a Xuandi temple on the left, and the villagers gradually became rich. Some old people dream of "god man's advice": the family is not as rich as the people, and the talented people can be very rich. Xuandi occupies Wolong; the right side is overcast, so Kuixing must occupy the tiger, and there must be talented people. As a result, the group raised funds and completed the Kuixing Pagoda in the fifth year of Jiaqing (1800), which finally fulfilled the wishes of the masses.
