At that time, the pagoda's top was unadorned and had a direct passage to the bottom. Elders in the village recall that when they were children and played near the stone pagoda, they were always curious to peek through the gaps to see if the chicken was truly there, which was quite amusing. Furthermore, the eight 'feet' at the base of the pagoda symbolize the control of the eight directions, hence it is also called the 'Bagua Pagoda'.
