Wansong Xingxiu[edit]
- ... that the 13th-century pagoda built to house the remains of the Chinese Zen monk Wansong Xingxiu was covered by an outer pagoda in 1753 (pagoda pictured), and the original pagoda was only rediscovered in 1986?

New enough, interesting, long enough, hook is sourced to reliable source. No close paraphrasing or neutrality detected. Good to go.--KAVEBEAR (talk) 18:58, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
The article says the pagoda was built to house the remains of Wansong Xingxiu, not to memorialize him. Yoninah (talk) 10:27, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for pointing that out. The Chinese article says that it is sepulchral pagoda, but I was not certain from the sources I looked at. However, I have just checked some other Chinese sources, and they confirm that it was a sepulchral pagoda (Chinese 墓塔), so I have added a reference to the article and revised the wording of the hook.
