Wenfeng Pagoda, Ancient pagoda in Xuchang, China.

Wenfeng Pagoda is a 13-storey brick pagoda 52 metres tall, built in 1614 during the Ming Wanli era. It has an octagonal plan and consists of a platform, base, body and spire. Three stone tablets stand in front of it, and it now lies in the east courtyard of Xuchang Museum.

The pagoda was built in 1614, the 42nd year of the Wanli reign of the Ming dynasty, by Zheng Zhengguang, prefect of Xuzhou. In May 2006 it was listed in the sixth batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level. Three steles stand in front of it, including the 1615 "Wenming Pagoda Fu" and Qing-dynasty restoration records from 1719 and 1809.

The pagoda is also called Wenming Tower or Wenming Temple Tower, and its name links it to the wenfeng, or "literary peak," tradition of erecting towers to foster local scholarship. In front of it stand three stone tablets: a Ming Wanli 43 (1615) "Wenming Tower Fu," a Qing Kangxi 58 (1719) record of repairs to the Wenming Temple, and a Qing Jiaqing 14 (1809) inscription on rebuilding the temple's Shijia Buddha Hall and Aotou Guanyin Hall. "Wenfeng Songxiu" (Wenfeng Towering Elegance) is counted among the Ten Scenes of Xuchang.

The pagoda stands in the east courtyard of Xuchang Museum, so reach it through the museum grounds rather than any hillside path. The tower has shown accelerated tilting in recent years, so keep to marked areas around its base. Three stone tablets stand in front of it, and the tower is counted among the ten scenes of Xuchang as "Wenfeng Songxiu".

The pagoda is a brick structure, not stone, and is described as the finest of Henan's roughly 200 Ming-dynasty brick pagodas. It also carries the nickname "China's Number One Fengshui Pagoda." In recent years it has been tilting at an accelerating rate.
