Extended material:

The construction of the Buddha statue began in the early years of the founding of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (AD 713). When the Buddha reached its shoulders, monk Haitong died. After Haitong's death, the project was temporarily suspended. Many years later, Zhangqiu Jianqiong, the military governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, donated his salary. Haitong's apprentices led the craftsmen to continue building the Buddha. Because the project was huge, the imperial court ordered a hemp salt tax, which made the project progress rapidly. When the Leshan Giant Buddha was repaired to the knees, Zhangchou Jianqiong, the successor to the construction, moved to his home as Minister of Household Affairs, and the project was stopped again. Forty years later, Wei Gao, the military governor of Xichuan in Jiannan, donated his salary to continue building the Leshan Giant Buddha.

With the efforts of three generations of craftsmen, it took 90 years to complete in the 19th year of Zhenyuan (803 AD) of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty
