Chaoyang North Pagoda

朝陽北塔

遼寧朝陽

位於遼寧省朝陽市,因市內原有三座古塔遙相對峙,此塔在北,故名,為東北地區現存最早的古塔。原為北魏太和年間(477~499)所建的「思燕佛圖」,唐代(618~907)於舊址重建。遼重熙十三年(1044)在原塔外再包砌一層磚,形成現今塔貌。一九八八年列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 該塔為四角方形十三層密檐式空心磚塔,塔剎已毀,殘高42.6公尺。基座南面闢券門,可進入塔室,其餘三面磚雕假門。塔身四面磚雕佛教密宗五方佛中的寶生佛、阿彌陀佛、不空成就佛和阿●(門+三人)佛及八大菩薩、八大靈塔等。塔身四角為磚砌圓形倚柱,柱上施闌額、普拍枋,枋上承斗栱。各層檐均為磚疊澀挑出。密檐束腰白灰壁面上,用紅、黑、綠色繪出仿木構建築的斗栱和卷草紋樣,是中國迄今發現的唐塔彩繪珍品。
 近年維修時發現塔的地宮和天宮。地宮位於塔心室之下,內有一石經幢。天宮砌於塔心室封頂石板的上面,內藏金舍利塔、玉飛天、石柄香爐、瑪瑙舍利罐、金銀製經塔、金製法輪、銀質菩提樹等佛教文物,皆為遼代(907~1125)珍品。
