HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL VALUE OF THE ARCHITECTURE WORKS OF THE STONE TOWER AT BUDDHA PAGODA - BAC NINH

Abstract

In October 1947, most of the architectural monuments of Buddha Tich Pagoda were destroyed due to historical events, leaving only the garden and tower of Sakyamuni statue with blue stone. The stelae and stone towers at Buddha Tich Pagoda are valuable sources to help us understand the Buddhist situation, the practice of some monks at that time, as well as the religious life of the nobility, the historical situation. Using Tu Son covered land in Le-Trinh period. Stone tower gardens have unique and typical cultural values, which receive a lot of attention when researching about national monuments, especially Buddhist Temple. Material from the stelae engraved in the tower garden is a small torch that contributes to lighting up the Buddhist picture in particular and Vietnamese history in general.
