方塔, or "Square Pagoda," is a type of traditional Chinese pagoda characterized by its square base and multi-tiered structure. These pagodas often serve as religious monuments, housing relics or scriptures, and are commonly found in Buddhist and Taoist temples. The architectural design reflects ancient Chinese aesthetics and engineering techniques. The most famous example of a 方塔 is the Daqin Pagoda located in Xi'an, which dates back to the Tang Dynasty. These structures not only hold spiritual significance but also represent the cultural heritage and artistic achievements of ancient China, attracting tourists and scholars alike.
