Tang Wenzong used five-color bricks to make the tower in the temple, so Baoqing Temple is also called Huata Temple. In the Five Dynasties, the palace was destroyed by fire, but the tower remained. In the second year of Ming Jingtai (1451), the tower was moved and the temple was built at this site. Feng Congwu gave lectures during the Wanli period (1573-1620). In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), the resident monk Wentian rebuilt the pavilion. The Hua Pagoda of Baoqing Temple is about 23 meters high and has seven floors. It is hexagonal in plan and contains stone sculptures of Buddha from the Wei, Sui, Tang and other eras. In the second year of Mingjing (1451), he rebuilt the stone monument. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the government renovated the Hua Pagoda of Baoqing Temple, which is a key protection unit in Shaanxi Province.

Baoqing Temple Tower is one of the eight ancient temples. The pagoda of Baoqing Temple was built in the period of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. The total number of existing towers in China is only a dozen, which is the most peculiar and most beautifully decorated among the few existing towers.

It is the tower of Sui Dynasty in China. Located on the north side of the west entrance of Shuyuanmen Street in the south gate of Xi’an, it is the first scenic spot on the historical and cultural promenade in Xi’an. Hua Pagoda is the inner tower of Baoqing Temple. Tang Wenzong (827-840 AD) used five-color bricks to build a tower in the temple. Because the five colors resembled flowers, it was called Baoqinghua Pagoda (in ancient times, both flowers and flowers were used together). The Hua Pagoda of Baoqing Temple is about 23 meters high and has seven floors. It is hexagonal in plan and contains stone carvings of Buddha and sutras.

This is a pagoda left over from the late Tang Dynasty. It is located in the prosperous Shuyuanmen Cultural District. It is not as famous as the big and small goose pagodas in the city, but it has also experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, witnessing the rise and fall of Chang'an City.
