Five-Pagoda Temple

五塔寺

Five-Pagoda Temple(Wuta Si)，which is also called Jingangzuo Sheti Baota，is located in Hohhot City. As there are five small dagobas on the pedestal of the pagoda，it is named Wuta Si. Wuta was originally a building of the temple construtted during 1727一17.32. Now the temple has disappeared，but the pagoda has remained.

五塔寺又稱金剛座舍寶，位于呼和浩特市。.因?yàn)樵谝粋€(gè)金剛座上建有5個(gè)玲瓏舍利小塔，所以人們通稱為五塔寺。五塔寺始建于公元1727一1752年之間。現(xiàn)在寺廟已經(jīng)不存在，但五塔卻保持至今。

The construction of the temple began in the 5th year of the reign of the Emper or Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty. The Pagoda is 16. 5 meters high and looks like a Buddha's Warrior Attendant's seat，with a base under it and five exquisite pagodas on the base. As more than 1 560 relief sculptures of Buddha are engraved on the five pagodas，the temple enjoys the reputation of being“a 10 000一Buddha Tower".In addition，there are images of Bodhisattva，the four Devarajas ,Buddhist Saint，Heavenly Ladies，holy birds and animal，bodhi trees and the engraved scriptures in Mongolian，Tibetan and Sanskrit on the wall of the pagodas. On the wall facing the temple there are 3 marble relief sculptures，including a planisphere marked with Mongolian inscriptions. The pagodas are not only peculiar buildings， but also a huge exquisite carving.

五塔的建設(shè)始于清雍正五年，塔高16. 5米，像一個(gè)佛教武士的座椅。底座土有五個(gè)精致的寶塔。五塔上刻有1 560件浮雕作品，因此得名萬佛塔。此外，菩薩、四大大神、佛教圣徒、仙女、神鳥，還有蒙古、西藏的雕刻也被刻在了五塔的墻上。正對寺廟的墻壁上有三個(gè)大理石浮雕，包括用蒙古文記載的天文圖。五塔不僅是一座建筑物，而且是一件巨大的藝術(shù)品。

The pagoda is composed of three parts:the base，the seat and the top(five dagobas).The lower part of the seat is inlaid with inscriptions of Diamond Sutra written in Mongolian，Tibetan and Sanskrit. The upper part is niches holding goldplated statues of Buddha. The body of the pagoda is glazed in greens and yellows.

五塔山三個(gè)部分組成:底座、座位和塔頂。座位的底部有用蒙古語、藏語和梵文編寫的金剛經(jīng)，上面是一些放有渡金佛像的壁龕。塔身是綠黃相間的建筑。

On the northern wall of the pagoda，three sculptures are inlaid. The Mongolian Astronomical Map is the only one labeled in Mongolian so far in the world and it is of great importance to scientific research.

在塔的北面墻上，鑲嵌著三個(gè)雕塑蒙古天文圖是日前僅存的一個(gè)用蒙古語記載的天文圖，具有極高的學(xué)術(shù)價(jià)值。

Compared with other pagodas，F(xiàn)ive-Pagoda Temple is unique in at least two aspects:its special structure，pagodas over pagoda， and the green and yellow colored glazes on the short eaves and tops of pagodas. Those make Five-Pagoda Temple quite special，a treasure of Hohhot City.

?與其他塔寺相比.五塔寺在兩方面有其獨(dú)到之處:一是結(jié)構(gòu)特別，寶塔摞寶塔，而是塔檐與塔頂顏色綠黃相間。五塔寺山于這些原因而略顯特別，是呼市的一個(gè)珍寶。
