I just took my daughter to the Leifeng Tower by West Lake, and she asked what connection there is between the Leifeng Tower and Lei Feng, who was known for helping others
Similarity: Both are called Leifeng. Difference: One is a tower and the other is a person. The tower is called Leifeng Tower because it was built in the area known as Leifeng. :lol:lol:lol
It seems sufficient to explain what the Leifeng Pagoda is. “The Leifeng Pagoda, also known as the Imperial Concubine Pagoda or Xiguan Brick Pagoda, is located on Leifeng Mountain in the Xiyao Mountain area of the West Lake Scenic Area in Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang Province.” The Leifeng Tower was built by Qian Hongchu, the King of Wuye and Zhongyi, in order to have a son through Princess Huang; it was initially named the \"Imperial Consort’s Tower\" as it was constructed on Leifeng Hill. Later, it was renamed the \"Leifeng Tower\". In the Chinese folk tale \"The Legend of the White Snake,\" the monk Fahai tricks Xu Xian into going to Jinshan Mountain; the White Snake then floods the mountain to save Xu Xian, only to be trapped under the Leifeng Tower by Fahai. Later, Xiao Qing practiced magic diligently and finally defeated Fahai; the Leifeng Tower collapsed, and Bai Suzhen was rescued. The old Leifeng Pagoda collapsed in 1924 and was rebuilt; the new Leifeng Pagoda is China’s first pagoda adorned with colored copper sculptures. The Sunset at Leifeng Pagoda is one of the Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake. ”(Baidu’s);P
This Lei Feng is not that Lei Feng; it doesn’t matter
According to legend, Bai Niangzi caused damage to the local people by flooding Jinshan Mountain; therefore, the kind-hearted Comrade Lei Feng trapped her under a tower, and that’s why the tower is called Lei Feng Tower~
It’s just a coincidence; the two characters are the same
