Miaozhan Temple Twin Towers

In front of miaozhan temple, there are two square solid brick pagodas with dense eaves, which were built in the fourth year of the reign of emperor TAIDING (1327-1335). It was rebuilt many times and completed in Chenghua of Ming Dynasty. Two towers were built originally. The West Tower was destroyed by the earthquake in 1833, and the East Tower still exists. The East and the West towers face each other. Every winter and autumn night, the jade rabbit rises to the East. The reflection of the two towers is like the nib of a pen, and the shadow moves, just like a master of God and man waving a large sum of money to write poems, praise the heaven and earth, and bless the world. Therefore, it is called "writing the sky with a pen".
