Originally built in the 11th century, it is the only structure remaining from the Xingshengjiao Temple, and is now enclosed in the Fangta Park. The 9-story pagoda is {{convert|48.5|m|sp=us}} tall, and has become Songjiang's most famous landmark. HistoryThe pagoda was built between 1068 and 1077,{{sfnp|Lonely Planet|2009}} when Songjiang was the largest city in the Shanghai region, a prosperous stop on the Grand Canal between Hangzhou and Suzhou. Each side of the ground floor is about {{convert|6|m|sp=us}} long[1] and its nine stories reach {{convert|48.5|m|sp=us}} high.{{sfnp|Lonely Planet|2009}} It formed part of Songjiang's Xingshengjiao Temple, originally established in 949 but now completely destroyed.{{sfnp|Petit Futé|2012}} Its Northern Song style has not changed despite renovations under the Ming and Qing and, more recently, in the mid- to late-1970s.[1] In 1974, its first-floor staircase was restored.[1] In 1974[4] or 1975, a brick vault was discovered under the pagoda during renovations.{{sfnp|Lonely Planet|2009}} It was the tomb of the 11th-century monk Miaoyuan ({{lang|zh|{{linktext|妙|遠}}}}) whose ashes—as was common of other masters during the Northern Song—had been placed within the hollow belly of the enlightened Buddha to serve as an object of veneration.[2] The bronze reclining Buddha was {{convert|42|cm|sp=us}} long and more than {{convert|25|kg|sp=us}}.[2] Two elephant teeth and seven relic beads were placed neatly nearby in two silver cases. The Buddha and the silver cases had been stored in a lacquer case, which had been placed in a larger stone one and then stored in an undecorated crypt.[3] The Square Pagoda is the centerpiece of the modern city's Fangta Park, which was organized in 1980 by Feng Jizhong as one of the first reassertions of the importance of traditional Chinese architecture after the ravages of the Cultural Revolution.{{sfnp|Zhu|2014|p=[https://books.google.com.hk/books?id=Q63VCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA403 403]}} It was added to Shanghai's nationally-protected sites (as No.{{nbsp}}83-5) in 1986[4] and is now Songjiang's most famous landmark.{{sfnp|Lonely Planet|2009}} See also
