It was established in the  reign of Emperor Zhu Di of Ming Dynasty. There are five small stone  pagodas built in 1473. According to the historical record, during the  early period of reign of Emperor Zhu Di, an Indian monk arrived in  Beijing from western area of Asia. He presented Emperor Zhu Di five  golden figures of Buddha and the pictures of Jing-Kong Throne. The  emperor had a happy chat with him on Buddhist scriptures and then  appointed him the national religionary leader. Afterwards, the Emperor  ordered to build up the Jing-Kong Throne Pagoda and refitted the temple  in accordance with the pictures that this respectable and dignitarial  monk offered. The established temple became the popular destination  for people to climb mountains on Double-Ninth Festival  and go for a walk in the country on Tomb-Sweeping Day.  <img src="http://www.absolutechinatours.com/UploadFiles/ImageBase/2450984801_21d4811b9e.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />During  the Qing Dynasty, the emperor restored the pagoda for celebrating his  mother's birthday. Jing-Kong Throne Pagoda of Five-Pagoda Temple was  built in the form of Indian style pagodas. It is the earliest one that  has been established among ten similar pagodas.  It owns most beautiful modality. It is qualified to be the  representative of building styles and the artistic form of stone carving  in Ming Dynasty. The pagoda is made of the bricks and bluestones. Jing-Kong Throne Pagoda is the  representative of Buddhist arts. the pagoda is densely rich in the  Buddha footmark, figures of Buddha, five-pagoda throne, bodhi trees,  heavenly king, arhat, Indian language and scripture. Majority of this  content is closely linked with Buddhism and will be greatly helpful to  the Buddhist research. This pagoda is superficially built conforming to  Indian style, but it is cmbined with Chinese traditional architecture  conception and stone carving theory. It is the real evidence to show the   Sino-foreign cultural   exchange. It was listed as the first group of cultural relics protected by government.        </blockquote>
