Luogong Tower(simplified Chinese:罗公塔; traditional Chinese: 羅公塔; pinyin: Luó Gōng Tǎ; literally “the Temple of the origin of all things”) is located in the northeast tower yard. It is a turreted structure. Before the tower there used to be the Luogong Front Hall where the statue of Luogong was enshrined. But now only the Luogong Tower has survived. Luogong lived in the time of Kangxi of the Qing dynasty. He was honored by the emperor as “the Man of Tranquility”. Local legend has it that Luogong invented the barber’s tools and the art of massage which were greatly appreciated by the emperor after being introduced into the royal palace. So Luogong was worshipped as ancestor by hairdressers of the old times.
