文峰塔位于城东古运盐河北岸，濠河风景区内。 始建于明万历年四十年（（公元1618年）。塔为砖木结构，五级六角，每级均有小室，每面一门两窗，内设扶梯，外有护栏。飞檐翘脊，饰以龙首、仙人、走兽，系以金铎。据史料记载，此塔的建筑，为的是“补山水之形，助文风之盛”。 塔顶有刹，高10．33米，刹座作覆钵形状，上置承露盘。刹杆穿以七重相轮，顶由仰月、园光、宝瓶构成，并用铁索与塔顶相连，使宝塔显得庄重华丽，挺拔高耸。 塔高39米，雄立城之东南，是南通人崇文兴业的文化象征。相传，明代兴风水之说，言自淮水以南一马平川，千余里内仅南通有狼五山，此为南通的“官禄宫”。当时凿山取石，构筑新城，营造园林，破坏了“官禄宫”，以致通籍举子屡试不爽；通籍官员多被贬斥。于是有人提议城东南地势低洼，润泽文脉，可造文峰塔、三元桥，必补山水之形胜，助文风之兴盛。 2005年，南通市人民政府拨巨资重修文峰塔，再现文峰塔雄姿。 文峰塔院：近十年来，文峰周围新添了富有特色的庭院式建筑，称文峰塔院。文峰塔院为庭院式建筑，是市文联、书画院、艺术馆所在地。 是先有塔，后建寺院的。因塔建寺，名曰“五福寺”。相传建寺时，曾有五个大蝙蝠出现，巨如车轮。也有传说文峰塔上曾有五个红蝙蝠做窠，所以这座塔院定名为五福寺，这是另一番神话。岁月侵蚀，五福寺早已废毁，而文峰塔却几经修复而保留。 现院内还有六朝古松，极具特色，它见证了文峰塔的悠久的历史 * * ---Unit 3 Module 3 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down.
