Yangzhou Wenfeng Tower, built in 1582, is also an octagonal seven-story; The Longshan Pagoda in Jintan County and the Great Hoonji Pagoda in Nanjing in Ming Dynasty, which were rebuilt in 171, are of this structure. It overcomes the weakness of the early hollow tube structure, such as the outer wall opens the door and the interlayer is staggered, and avoids the longitudinal cracking damage from top to bottom outside the door (or window). Underground Palace in Taki: On July 14th, 1956, tourists found an underground palace at the bottom of the tower of Hongjue Temple, which contained cultural relics below the upper circle.
