The Yugong Pagoda is a hexagon brick pagoda of seven floors standing at the center of the Pagoda Forest. Yugong refers to Fuyu, the most famous abbot of the Shaolin Temple in the middle of the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368 A.D.), the only monk being titled Duke after death. For his great contribution to the resurgence of the Shaolin Temple which could almost match the founder, a stele inscribed “Great Founder” was set up in front of the pagoda on his tomb. |
