摘要
妙通塔位于涟水县城西门,始建于北宋仁宗天圣元年(1023年)。塔身为砖砌实体,高30余米,1948年毁于战争。1998年5月,因计划重建妙通塔,在原址勘探时发现地宫。地宫遗物主要出土于供台之上的石函内,有金棺、银椁、玻璃瓶、瓷瓶、云母瓶、麻胎小罐、金钗等,还有1千余枚铜钱。在金棺内又发现银盒、佛牙、舍利子,石函和银椁上均刻有精美的佛教图案。根据地宫出土的石碑可知,此塔是为瘗藏证因大师的舍利而建。
The Miaotong Pagoda was built in the first year(1023 B.C.)of the Tian Sheng reign of Emperor Ren Zong in the Northern Song Dynasty,located at the west gate of the Lianshui County.It was made of brick, more than 30 meters tall,destroyed in war in 1948.In May of 1998,in coordination with the reconstruction plan of the pagoda,archaeologists investigated the site and discovered the underground palace.The un- earthed objects are mainly found in a stone casket on a stone desk,including gold coffin,silver coffin, glass vase,porcelain vase,mica vase,gold hairpin,and more than one thousand of coins.In the gold cof- fin,there are silver box,tooth relic of Buddha,and sariras.There are many exquisite Buddhistic images on the stone casket and the silver coffin.A stone stele is also found in this excavation.According to the in- scription,the pagoda was built to bury the sariras of Master Zheng Yin.
