It was built in the reign of Jinglong in Tang Dynasty. It is an important symbol of Chang'an City of Tang Dynasty. The small goose pagoda is a typical work of the early square eaves brick Pagoda in China. It has 15 stories, 13 stories, 43.4 meters high and beautiful pagoda shape. It is the artistic heritage of Buddhist architecture in Tang Dynasty. Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains and integrated into the Han culture.

Historical evolution
Orion of the Name
The Small Goose Pagoda and the big goose pagoda face east and west, which are two important landmarks preserved by the security of the Tang Dynasty's capital master. Xiaoyan Pagoda was always called "Jianfu Temple Pagoda" in Tang and Song Dynasties. The name of "Xiaoyan Pagoda" was related to "Big Wild Goose Pagoda".
Tang Gaozong Yonghui three years (652), the court funded the construction of a Buddhist pagoda, named Yan Pagoda, which was used to resettle Xuanzang's Buddhist scriptures brought back from India, at the West Temple of Cien Temple in Chang'an. In the first year of Jinglong in the middle of Tang Dynasty (707), a small Buddhist pagoda was built under the auspices of the famous Taoshore lawyer, who was funded by palaces in the palace. Later, in order to distinguish the two pagodas, the Cien Temple Pagoda was named "Big Wild Goose Pagoda", while the Jianfu Temple Pagoda was smaller than the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in shape, so the name "Little Wild Goose Pagoda" has been circulating until now.
Architectural history
The Little Wild Goose Pagoda was built during the reign of Jinglong (707-710) in the middle Tang Dynasty to store Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist paintings brought back from Tianzhu by Yijing, a prominent monk in the Tang Dynasty. The pagoda of Xiaoyan Pagoda is a part of the Jianfu Temple, but the pagoda is not in the Jianfu Temple at that time, but opposite to the temple gate. The pagoda is located in Anrenfang, across the street from the gate of Jianfu Temple in Kaihua Fang. During the war in the late Tang Dynasty, the Jianfu Temple was destroyed and destroyed repeatedly. Only the Little Wild Goose Pagoda was preserved.
Documents from the reign of Song Zhe Zong and Yuan You (1086-1094) recorded that the Jianfu Temple had moved from Kaihua Square to the pagoda courtyard of Anren Square at that time, and became a whole with Xiaoyan Pagoda. In 1116, a believer who claimed to be a "tortuous valley" vowed to repair the Little Wild Goose Pagoda, repairing the severely weathered eaves and corners of the pagoda, and decorating it with white clay. Up to now, the pagoda has been painted with white clay.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Jianfu Temple and Xiaoyan Pagoda were repaired many times. There were five large-scale renovations in the Ming Dynasty, basically preserving the previous pattern. In the first year of Xuande in Xuanzong of Ming Dynasty (1426), the monk of Hongjue Temple in Xining, Shaanxi Province, Diu Sijimengqin Xiduhu, went to the Jianfu Temple to sit down. When he saw that the temple was abandoned, he vowed to rebuild it. After the completion of the Ming Ying orthodox fourteen-year (1449) overhaul, he begged the court for the name of the temple. The plaque of "Rongzhi Jianfu Temple" is the imperial pen of Ming Yingzong. At the end of the Chenghua reign of the Ming Xianzong (1487), an earthquake occurred in Xi'an and the body of the Xiaoyan Pagoda was shattered. Later, when the tower was rebuilt, a layer of bricks was laid at the bottom of the tower, but no cracks in the tower body were repaired (cracks in earthquake cracks were repaired only after a renovation in 1965). The Xiaoyan Pagoda had 15 stories. In the 34th year of Jiajing reign of Emperor Zong of Ming Dynasty (1556), the top two stories of the pagoda were destroyed by the earthquake in Huaxian County. There are 13 stories left.
In the Qing Dynasty, Jianfu Temple was renovated many times, with the largest renovation scale in the 31st year of Kangxi (1692). In the late Qing Dynasty, the Tibetan Sutra Building and Nanshanmen were also built.
After the 1911 Revolution, from 1926 to May 1949, the Jianfu Temple was occupied by the army for a long time. The Little Wild Goose Pagoda also served as a military command post. After the Kuomintang troops evacuated from Xi'an, the palace of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda was filled with rubbish.
