Guanghui Temple Flower Pagoda (before restoration)

廣惠寺華塔

河北正定

又稱多寶塔。位於河北省石家莊市正定縣廣惠寺,寺已毀。塔形制特殊,為中國現存佛塔中之孤例。據塔中發現北宋皇祐年間(1049~1054)的遊人題記,推知塔的建造年代應在宋代(960~1279)或更早。金大定年間(1161~1189)重修,明(1368~1644)清(1644~1911)兩代皆有修葺。一九四四年四隅小塔毀於戰爭。一九九四至一九九九年重修,並修復四隅小塔。一九六一年列為中國「全國重點文物保護單位」。
 該塔包括中央主塔和四隅四小塔,皆為磚建。主塔為八角三層樓閣式,通高40.5公尺,塔身第一層四正面闢門,四隅面毗連小塔。第二層四正面當心間為方門,餘二間及四隅面各間都是假窗;其檐上出廣大平座,四周以欄杆圍護。第三層檐上承高大圓錐頂,輪廓微凸,表面浮塑小方塔、力士、獅、象等。頂部為陡峻的八角攢尖,最上為塔剎。四隅小塔為六角單層亭閣式,檐下施斗栱。
 此種五塔組合的方式與金剛寶座塔形制相似,而其浮塑小方塔等的圓錐狀塔頂,乃《大方廣佛華嚴經》所述「蓮華藏世界」的表徵,故稱華塔;又因其圓錐狀頂遠觀如花束,故又稱花塔。此種塔形僅流行於華北地區,而以該塔最為典型。
