Under the blue sky and white clouds, the stone tower of Zhiping Temple faded through the lead, and in this small world, it was the same as the light. However, in history, the place where the stone tower of Zhiping Temple is the most lively. According to records, Zanhuang County began to be placed in the sixteenth year of the Emperor Sui Kai, and the Tang Dynasty belonged to Zhaozhou, Hebei Road.
