This is people’s summary of Leshan Giant Buddha . It is the largest stone Buddha in the world. It is 71 meters high. There are 1051 buns on the head of the Buddha. The rest of the facial features, eyes and mouth are 3.3 meters long, and the ears are 8 meters long. The fingers alone are 8.3 meters long. is quite amazing.
Historical records show that the Leshan Giant Buddha was built in 8.3 AD, and related legends are also emerging one after another.
It is reported that when the country is in trouble, the Leshan Giant Buddha will shed tears; it is even said that there is a secret treasure room in the Giant Buddha...
Huang Gaobin and Robo Heng, who were responsible for restoring the Giant Buddha, also said that in 1962, when they were repairing the Giant Buddha, they found a hole inside the Giant Buddha. There was a lot of scrap iron, bricks and other waste inside. The stone door at the entrance of the hole was left from the Song Dynasty.
Later, experts conducted a special investigation, and the results were incredible. There are many gilt handkerchiefs and gold pots in the secret chamber of the Buddha. These alone are already worth a lot of money. Experts speculate that many treasures have been looted long ago, and this is just the tip of the iceberg.
However, what is left is not much, but it is significant. These cultural relics confirm the legend that has existed for thousands of years - there is a real treasure in the Leshan Giant Buddha.
But why are these treasures placed in the body of the Buddha?
Some relevant experts suggested that it may be that the donations raised for the Buddha's construction were not used up at that time, so they were placed here.
However, there is another saying that in the Tang Dynasty, there was an eminent monk named Haitong who did many good things for the people. It was he who presided over the construction of this Buddha. Therefore, in memory of him, when he passed away, people built a secret room in the Buddha and placed many sacrifices.
However, this statement has not been confirmed.
Leshan Giant Buddha is of extraordinary significance in history. It is ingeniously designed and not only built for faith.
The Giant Buddha is located at the intersection of Minjiang River, Dadu River and Qingyi River in Sichuan. Therefore, during the summer, the entire river flows rapidly due to increased precipitation. The Leshan Giant Buddha can slow down the water flow in this area, reduce local flooding and facilitate the passage of ships.
I really sigh, the wisdom of the ancients is amazing.

The Giant Buddha has stood for more than 1,000 years and has experienced countless ups and downs, but still stands.
