After knowing the cause of the "Scissorhands" Buddha fire in Longmen Grottoes, why do tourists vomit "too sad"?

Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang is a famous 5A tourist attraction in China. One of the most striking places is that there are more than 97,000 Buddha statues on its cliffs. The largest Buddha statue is as high as 17. 14 meter, and the smallest is only 2 cm. It looks very spectacular and can be described as a large stone carving art museum. Among so many Buddha statues, one special Buddha statue has attracted everyone's attention, that is, the fire and the temporary "scissorhands" Buddha statue, which has been rated as "the most cute Buddha statue in history" by the majority of tourists. After learning the novel reasons, everyone vomited "it's too sad", so how did this "scissorhands" Buddha statue come into being? Bian Xiao takes you into Longmen Grottoes to learn about this "Scissorhands" Buddha statue!

This "Scissorhands" Buddha statue is Amitabha in Binyang North Cave. According to expert analysis, combined with the two-handed posture of this Buddha statue, the left hand of the Buddha statue hangs down, the palm of the right hand is forward, and the thumb, ring finger and little finger are closed. Because the thumb was damaged, the gesture presented now is very similar to the "scissors hand" that people extend when taking pictures.

However, in the book Handprints of Buddhism, there are hundreds of handprints similar to this Buddha, so the thumb of this "scissorhands" Buddha is also upright. However, due to the baptism of years and modern theft, the damage suffered by the country before formal protection has washed away the lead and left traces of years. When people know that cultural relics have become this kind of "disability" in the long river of history? After that, I couldn't help feeling sad, and the mood of spitting never appeared again.

Cultural relics are the outstanding expression of human artistic creativity and the perfect embodiment of human artistic forms. They are our rare and precious property. While appreciating cultural relics, we should protect them for future generations and for the future, so that they can be passed down through the ages and become a precious record of our traditional culture in China.
