Pagoda of Tryadhva Buddhas

The Pagoda of Tryadhva Buddhas (), located in the southeastern part of Qinyang, Jiaozuo, Henan Province, China, was listed as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit in 2001 during the fifth batch.[1].

History

[edit]

Tianning Temple, originally founded during the Sui dynasty, was initially named Changshou Temple. It was renamed Dayun Temple during the Tang Dynasty and later renamed Tianning Temple during the Jin Dynasty when the pagoda was constructed. The temple itself has been destroyed, leaving only the pagoda remaining. The pagoda is a thirteen-tiered dense-eaves style brick structure with a beautifully parabolic shape, standing at 32.76 meters tall[2]
