A cultural relic in Dongyuan Township, Shangli County was identified as a monk's tomb tower during the Bingwu period of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty.

Recently, the Wenguang New Bureau of Shangli County, Dongyuan Township and Pingxiang City Museum formed a joint investigation team to investigate the Buddhist cultural relics found in Mianchong, Zhutang Village, Dongyuan Township, and determined that a cultural relic was the tomb tower of a monk in Bingwu, Qianlong, Qing Dynasty.

Found the monk's tomb tower

Monk Pagoda is a stone pagoda with wooden structure, which is east-west and surrounded by Romanesque style. The plane of the tower is hexagonal, with a platform bottom, a hexahedral tower body, a hexagonal roof and a gourd-shaped treasure top. The word 16 is vertically engraved on the front of the tower, which reads: "The following peaks are named after Taoist priests and monks". The original tombstones and sentries in front of the tower were demolished during the construction of the reservoir and built into the dam. On the right side of the tower, there is a mound tomb in the year of Qinggan Longbingwu (AD 1786). The inscription records that monk Zhao Ming is a disciple of monk Guangci and also a disciple of the main Taoist monk in the stone tower tomb. This tomb was built by Sakyamuni's disciple You and his disciples.

According to the villagers, there used to be a temple in the area. The former building is called Tianjing Temple, and the latter building is called Qingquan Temple. During the Republic of China, there was a nun. The temple was destroyed in the early years, except for a Buddhist pagoda and several Buddhist tombs in Houshan. Two mound tombs of the Republic of China period were also found near the stone pagoda, and a donation tablet with illegible handwriting was also found on the roadside.
