Breaking-News >> TodayHistory September 25, 1924 Leifeng Tower in Hangzhou collapsed
101 years ago today, on September 25, 1924 (August 27, 1924 lunar calendar), Hangzhou Leifeng Pagoda collapsed. On September 25, 1924, Hangzhou Leifeng Pagoda collapsed. Leifeng Pagoda, built in 975 (the eighth year of Song Kaibao) by Qian Ti, King of Wuyue, was located in front of Jingci Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou, Zhejiang. It was originally named Xiguan Brick Pagoda, and later named Wangfei Pagoda; it was also called because it was built on a hill called Leifeng. It collapsed on September 25, 1924. The reason for the collapse was "because the villagers have a superstition that if the tower bricks are placed in their own homes, everything will be safe and good, and good luck will turn into good luck, so this one is also dug, and that one is also dug. After digging for a long time, it fell." Lu Xun once published two essays entitled "On the Fall of the Leifeng Pagoda" and "On the Fall of the Leifeng Pagoda Again", in which he said: "The digging of the bricks of the Leifeng Pagoda is just a very small example. The stone Buddha in the Longmen has most of its limbs incomplete, and the books and illustrations in the library must be guarded against tearing them off. If it is difficult to move public property or things without owners, there are very few that can be completely removed.... Since there are many people, the trauma is naturally great, and after the defeat, it is difficult to know who the harm is. Just like after the fall of the Leifeng Pagoda, we only know that it is due to the superstition of the villagers."
