Legend has it that a long time ago, there lived a white dragon in Liuhe, north of Tongzhou. Every spring, it will drink up the river, causing crops on both sides to dry up and die. In summer, it spits out bad water, causing floods and flooding entire villages and farmland. In order to fight against the white dragon, people dig wells in spring and build dikes in summer. The white dragon filled the well with sand and washed the river bank with more rampant floods. But the people are indomitable, digging wells and building dikes, and defending their homeland with Bailong to the death. Finally, he moved the Jade Emperor, sent immortals down to earth to build this pagoda for the people, and put the White Dragon under the pagoda with the power of burning Buddha. Burning Buddha also sent two messengers of light-Taying and Jinji to guard the pagoda. Later, Taying was recruited back to the west by the Buddha, and the golden rooster was reluctant to go. When leaving, Golden Rooster said sadly to Taying, "After you left, I will be alone, and nothing can block my sunshine." When he heard this, he took a piece of elm money. Soon, a magical elm tree grew on the ancient pagoda. After the Tangshan earthquake, the pagoda was affected. When the government funded the renovation, the elm on the tower was planted on the flat land in the east of the tower. Nowadays, the foliage is lush and beautiful, attracting many tourists to stop and enjoy it.

Later, during the reconstruction, the relics and Buddha's teeth were relocated in the "Tiangong" of the tower. "Tiangong is the floor of the tower, but it is not recorded. I don't know if there are relics and Buddha teeth in it. " According to experts, the government restored the tower in the 1980s. "At that time, only the 13 floor was built.
