Yunjin Pavilion Wenta Pagoda

　　Yunjin Pavilion Wenta Pagoda is located in Yunjin Pavilion on Longjin West Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou. The exact date of construction is unknown, but based on architectural form and style, it is believed to date from the late Ming to early Qing Dynasty.
　　The Pagoda is a two-story, hexagonal brick tower that faces north. It is built with a brick and wood structure, topped with a pointed roof, and stands approximately 13.6 meters tall. The pagoda’s apex is crowned by a ceramic gourd sculpture, which reaches up to 2 meters in height. The pagoda has a mid-level eaves, with the base made of blue bricks and stone, and each side of the tower is 2.5 meters wide, with an overall circumference of 15 meters and a diameter of 5 meters. The second floor has small eaves along its waistline, and all the eaves of the tower are adorned with plain roof tiles and drip edges. The window decorations on the tower’s body are simple yet exquisite, made of white clay, giving them an elegant, pure white appearance. On the first-floor doorway and the second-floor window tops, stone inscriptions in regular script read "South Axis" and "Yunjin Pavilion," respectively, both implying the revival of literary pursuits and the achievement of success.
　　Inside the pagoda, there was originally a statue of Kuixing, the star of literature, also known as Wenquxing, who governs scholarly success. His figure, imagined based on the shape of the character "魁" (kuí), features a red-haired, blue-faced figure standing atop a tortoise, with one foot lifted backward, holding a scholarly brush in one hand and a cup in the other. According to legend, if a candidate is touched by this brush, they will succeed in the imperial examinations. The Pagoda symbolizes this brush.
　　In 2015, it was designated as a Guangzhou Municipal Cultural Relic Protection Unit.
