It is not intuitive to describe the size of Leshan Giant Buddha in this way, but it may be more appropriate to use such a metaphor to illustrate it. That is, hundreds of people can stand at the foot of the giant Buddha. Moreover, in hidden places, the designer also designed a number of dark drains to protect the Buddha from rain erosion, hidden in the folds of the Buddha's clothes, far from being seen. Only such exquisite craftsmanship can make this giant Buddha stand from the Tang Dynasty to the present, and its appearance has not changed much. In addition, there is a large modern statue, which can be compared with Leshan Giant Buddha. It's the one in Yuncheng, Shanxi.
This 80-meter-high statue of Guan Gong is located in the southwest of Yuncheng, and the human body can reach 6 1 meter. The meaning of this 6 1 meter is unusual, which means that Guan Gong lived for 6 1 year. At present, this statue is still the largest statue of Guan Di in the world.
It is such a statue that vividly depicts the majesty and heroism of Guan Gong. Only under the statue can we feel the solemn atmosphere and the power of the king. The casting cost of the whole statue is very high. Since casting in 2007, the total investment has reached 200 million yuan, and even 500 tons of copper have been used. Modern technology makes the carving of bronze statues more elaborate. Compared with the design wisdom of Leshan Giant Buddha, Guan Gong relies more on modern technology. Compared with Guan Gong, the surrounding mountains seem to be much inferior. It is said that Yuncheng holds sacrifices in Guan Gong Temple every year. Visitors can watch it at any time, experience the unique history and culture of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and feel Guan Gong's majestic posture and ambition to swallow mountains and rivers.
