The copper plate covers an area of more than 9000 square meters, which is about the size of a football field. Due to the application of high technology, Lingshan Giant Buddha can resist the invasion of typhoon 14 and earthquake of magnitude 8. The completion of Lingshan Giant Buddha has formed a pattern in which there are Lingshan Giant Buddha in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in the east, Tiantan Giant Buddha in Hong Kong in the south, Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan in the west, Yungang Giant Buddha in Shanxi in the north, and Longmen Giant Buddha in Luoyang, Henan Province stand tall and echo each other. 1994101On October 20th, the groundbreaking ceremony for the giant Buddha was held in Xiaoling Mountain. 1On July 30, 1994, Zhao Puchu, Vice Chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and President of the Chinese Buddhist Association, wrote a poem when he inspected the Lingshan Giant Buddha 1m sample in Beijing: Taihu Lake is 36,000 hectares, and Ba Ding Shui is around Lingshan. Buddha's blessing is solemn, and boundless light shines on the world. 3. Lingshan Dazhao Monument Lingshan Dazhao Monument is located on the south side of Lingshan Giant Buddha Square. It is the main building on Shengjing Square and was completed on April 3, 1997. Zhaobi faces Lingshan in the north and Taihu Lake in the south. It is 39.8m long, 7m high and1.3m thick. It is the best stone carving in China at present, and it can be described as "the first stone carving in China". The south facade of Dazhaobi is a large stone carving group named "Lingshan Victory Meeting". The middle part depicts the view that Buddha Sakyamuni went to heaven on the scaffold. In the middle of the north facade, there is a stone relief of "Tang priest giving Zen to Xiaoling Mountain". Above the stone, Zhao Puchu's poems are engraved on the left and right respectively. The outline and size of this big hand, the first palm in the world, are exactly the same as the right hand of Lingshan Buddha behind it. Height 11.7m, width 5.5m, finger diameter1m, palm diameter 2m. The weight of this hand is 13 ton, so it is not an exaggeration to call it "the first palm in the world". 5. Bai Zi Opera Maitreya is 3 meters high, 7.8 meters wide and weighs 9 tons. Maitreya was lying down with a kind expression and a smile. On Maitreya's huge body, there are a whole hundred playful little urchins, each with a different shape and spirit, lifelike. 6. The stone tablet in the releasing pond is a bully. Some people say "tortoise-backed stele", which is not accurate. It is also wrong to say that turtles are not as big as bullies. He was placed in a tablet pavilion with a posthumous title tablet (also known as the "merit tablet"). ) is shaped like a turtle, so it is commonly known as "the tortoise carrying the tablet". In fact, it is still a dragon, the eldest son of "one dragon gives birth to nine children". Legend has it that "Ba Xia" is powerful, good at bearing burdens and likes to be famous. It often carries three mountains and five mountains on its back, making waves in rivers, lakes and seas, thinking that people will know its prestige. Later, when Dayu was harnessing the water, he subdued it. Under the command of Dayu, the dam pushed mountains and dug ditches, which contributed to water control. After the flood control, Dayu was worried about the recurrence of the old disease of "Baxia", so he moved to a huge stone tablet with indomitable spirit, engraved with the achievements of "Baxia" in water control. This is the wish of the "bully", but at the same time, it is also called "bully" carrying it, so that it can not walk casually. Since then, the "negative monument" has spread to this day. There are three bridges lined up on the release pond here. The middle one is called Dajue Bridge, the left one is called Pudu Bridge, and the right one is called Ci 'en Bridge. The names of the three bridges were inscribed by the abbot Master Mingshan. Dajue Bridge is decorated with lotus flowers, which symbolizes holiness. Zhou Dunyi, an essayist in the Song Dynasty, said in "Love Lotus": "Lotus grows out of mud without being stained, clear without being demon, and straight without creeping; The fragrance is far and clear, and the plants are delicate and graceful ... "China people also compare the lotus flower to a gentleman, giving it a sacred image of" spotless ". Lotus is often used as a symbol of pure land in Buddhism. Purdue Bridge and Ci 'en Bridge are decorated with * * *, which is originally a symbol of Buddhism. 1950, when the World Buddhists Friendship Association was founded, it was decided to use * * * as the emblem of Buddhism. 7. Tianwang Temple, Tianwang Temple is a building imitating the Tang Dynasty, built on the mountain. Magnificent momentum and high style.

There is a plaque in the middle, which was inscribed by Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. When you step into the king's palace, the first thing you see is Maitreya, who is shirtless and smiling. He swept away the solemnity, solemnity and reverence of the Buddhas, and often smiled, giving people a sense of humor and humor, which made people feel cordial and happy at first glance. There are four mighty kings on both sides of Maitreya. The Four Heavenly Kings were originally characters in ancient Indian mythology, and were later adopted and developed by Buddhism. According to Buddhist scriptures, there is a mountain called Gandhara Mountain halfway up Mount Sumi. There are four peaks in this mountain, and the four heavenly kings live on these four peaks respectively, controlling the mountains, rivers, forests and human society in Shen Dongsheng, Nanshan Department, Xiniu River and Beijuluo. Their task is to "protect every side of the world", so they are also called "protecting the four heavenly kings". The Four Heavenly Kings are said to be the "four donkey kong" of Buddhism. In the Romance of Gods, it is said that the four heavenly kings are the military commanders of China, and they are "four generals who dream of closing the magic hall". After their death, they were sent to the west to be the four great kings through the Kaifeng list of gods in Jiang Ziya, and the utensils of donkey kong were also transformed with puns in Chinese. The growth of the heavenly king's magic ceremony is green, holding a green sword, and the sword gives birth to "wind"; Molihong, the king of the country, holds a jasper pipa, and the homonym should be "tune"; Listen to the heavenly king's magic ceremony and hold a mixed bead umbrella to cover the "rain"; Guangmu Tianwang celebrated his birthday with magic ceremony, holding Zijin Tianlong and surrendering "Shun". The word "good weather" expresses people's yearning for "peace and prosperity" and a beautiful year. 8.

This is what we call "the first clock in the south of the Yangtze River".
