Anshan Village Peace Pagoda Introduction
Appearance of Shigandang: Tower-shaped total height: 5.93m, circumference: 13.88m. Construction form: conical shape. Tower top ornament: gourd. According to legend, there was once a person with great power in Anshan Village. After this esteemed individual passed away, the residents washed his internal organs by the riverside but accidentally left behind his liver and intestines, which transformed into a turtle and a snake that caused trouble in the village. Unable to bear the disturbance, the residents sought help from the deity at the North Pole Temple in Anshan, who used a magic sword to capture the troublesome turtle and snake, which became the three treasures in the stone tower along with the sword. The Peace Tower has also become a landmark in Anshan and serves the function of blessing ships to travel safely. Source: Oral history from local elders of Anshan Village.
