The stone pagodas
in Pengfu are the symbols of civil belief,
which represents the conformation of their
spirits in driving out and garrisoning evil
spirits. Besides that, they are used for
the harboring of the oceanic vessels and
setting the fisheries. Furthermore, they
can make up for the insufficiency of the
geomantic omen. The year of building the
pagodas is unknown. There were three layers
in the original pagoda with the height of
3 meters. In 1962, Xuantian Deity in Beijin

South-and-North
Pagoda is also called “Nanshi Pagoda”, “Beishi
Pagoda”, “Nine-Floor Pagoda” or “ Spire”.
The original location of the stone pagoda
is a little sand hill that is the patron
of Sheli but gradually loses the original
terrain due to the puff of the northeast
trades. The words of ”鎖管港了一個山,豬母山了個灣” are
to describe the sand hill has been blown
to the harbor of Shanshui. As a result,
the pagodas located at the original location
are to make up the deficiency of the defects
of the geography. The Stone Pagodas was
divided into night stairs. The bottom eight
stairs are built by laying with the natural
stone in Pengfu- basalt, and the top one
is arranged for the stele. There are incantations
in the pagodas. The one in the north pagoda
is issued by Beijin Temple and the south
pagoda is by Likunyuan Shrine. The Structure
of the pagodas is cone-shaped from the bottom
to the top with the height of approximate
11 meters. The pagodas are the highest ones
in Pengfu. |
