Leshan Giant Buddha
Introduction to the scenic spot:
Giant buddha has gathered the essence of Leshan landscape and human landscape, and is a world cultural and natural heritage, a famous tourist destination. Leshan Giant Buddha is located in the downtown area of Leshan City, with a scenic area of 18 square kilometers. Maolin xiuzhu on the mountain is lush all the year round, and the three rivers under the mountain converge, enjoying the reputation of the highest landscape in southwest China, which has been praised by literati in past dynasties. Its core Buddha landscape is 7 1 m high, which is a masterpiece of cliff sculpture art in Tang Dynasty and the largest stone statue of Maitreya Buddha in the world. It is a great treasure of human art with solemn modeling and meticulous workmanship. Lingyun Mountain, where the giant Buddha is located, and Wuyou Mountain and Guicheng Mountain behind it form a giant sleeping Buddha, which can be described as a spectacle of the ages.
In ancient Leshan, where the three rivers meet, the Minjiang River, Qingyi River and Dadu River meet at the foot of Lingyun Mountain. The water is quite fierce, and the boat series is often subverted. In order to reduce the water potential and benefit all sentient beings, Zen master Haitong mobilized manpower and material resources to repair and chisel this Buddha statue. Construction of the Giant Buddha began in the early years of the Kaiyuan reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 7 13). When the Giant Buddha reached the shoulder, monk Haitong died, and the project was once interrupted. Many years later, Zhang Qiu and Qiong, our envoy of Jiannan Xichuan, donated money, and Haitong's apprentice led craftsmen to continue to build the giant Buddha. Due to the huge project, the court ordered the payment of hemp salt tax, which made the project progress rapidly. When the Leshan Giant Buddha was repaired to the knee, the builder Zhang Qiu and Joan moved home to be the minister of the household department, and the project stopped again. Forty years later, Wei Gao, the envoy of Jiannan Xichuan, donated money to continue the construction of Leshan Giant Buddha. With the efforts of three generations of craftsmen, it took 90 years to complete the project in the 19th year of Zhenyuan, Tang Dezong (AD 803).
