Built in 707 AD in the Tang Dynasty, the Small Wild Goose Pagoda was initially called “Jianfu Pagoda”, and had this new name in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was originally a fifteen-storey multi-eaved brick pagoda. Due to many earthquakes, its top part was completely damaged, and its body developed cracks. In 1965, the Chinese government renovated the pagoda using materials and techniques that are exactly the same as those used for building it. Presently, it stands at a height of 43.38m, with a pedestal, a body, and a top. Sitting on an underground palace, this square-shaped pedestal has a brick shell with a clay core, a height of 3.2 meters, and a perimeter of 23.38 meters. The body of the pagoda has a brick frame built around a hollow interior.Brick stairs can be followed up the internal wall of the body. The pagoda’s outer contours are a naturally elegant convex curve that is very similar to the entasis curve in Greek architecture. Each storey has gradually-tiered dense eaves. There are arched windows in the south and north walls of the second and higher stories. With the overall structure being well preserved, the Small Wild Goose Pagoda was a perfect example of multi-eaved square brick pagodas built in ancient China. In 1961, The Small Wild Goose Pagoda was listed by the State Council of China as one of the First Batch of State-level Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.
