Pagoda brick
Print Edition
A LOCAL man recently donated one brick from ancient Leifeng Pagoda to Hangzhou Museum.
The pagoda is on a hill overlooking West Lake and at one time was used to store Buddhist scriptures. It collapsed in 1924. Zhu Detian said his father, Zhu Kongyang, was an antique collector who had picked up the brick from the rubble and carved it into an ink-stone. In 1981, Zhu Kongyang became a member of the city’s Cultural Relics Protection Committee. He died in 1986 while the pagoda wasn’t renovated until 2002.
Zhu Detian recently found the brick among his father’s belongings and decided to give it to the museum to make his father’s wish come true.
