Xiao Men Village · Zhongying Stone Pagoda Introduction
The hill between Xiaomen Village and Nanfang Zhuwan Village is commonly known as "Houying." Around the years 1965 to 1966, several middle-aged residents of the village passed away one after another. The villagers sought help from Zhenyi Temple, and Li Fu San Qian Sui indicated that "a certain grave in Houying faces south and looks north, directly opposite the village. A tower must be built immediately to counteract the negative energy, in order to ensure the safety of the villagers." Thus, a site next to Zhongying was chosen for the construction of the tower, which is referred to as Zhongying Stone Tower. Source: Oral history from local elders in Xiaomen Village, partly excerpted from the book "The Exorcising and Blessing Tower of Penghu." Appearance of Shigandang: Tower type, stele type. Shigandang inscription: Text, symbols. Total height: 1.60 meters. Circumference: 5.26 meters. Structure form: Conical. Decorative object on top of the tower: Gourd.
