The history of the giant Buddha:

The history of Lingshan area can be traced back to 1000 years ago in the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, Xuanzang returned from the Western Heaven, traveled to the southeast and came to Xiaoling Mountain. The scenery is extraordinary and worth appreciating. He said, "No wonder the western vultures won." So I named this mountain Xiaoling Mountain. Jiusan, the Indian spirit of Sakyamuni's enlightenment to Buddhism, is a famous Buddhist holy place, and asked his eldest disciple Kui Ji to preside over Buddhism here.

Xiaolingshan Temple was gradually developed from this. The height of the Lingshan Giant Buddha, including the Lotus Pagoda, standing at the southern foot of Xiaoling Mountain is 88 meters, which is equivalent to the height of a 30-storey building. It is higher than Leshan Giant Buddha in Sichuan, the second tallest in China17m. If a three-layer pedestal is added, the total height will reach 10 1.5 meters. Lingshan Buddha hangs his eyes and looks wise and kind.

Tourists, no matter far or near, seem to be concerned by the Buddha's eyes; And as people get closer or farther away, their eyes seem to open and close slightly. The closer they get, the bigger they drive. The corners of the mouth are Gherardini, and many instructions are about to be exported, which makes people feel more cordial and causes various reverie.

Looking up at the Buddha at close range, white clouds are fluttering in the blue sky, giving people the feeling that the Buddha is "moving". The body parts of Lingshan Giant Buddha are well-proportioned, and the folds are bright and smooth, elegant and smart, which increases the sense of movement and is suitable for both far and near.

The shaping of Lingshan Buddha was completed according to the records of 32 Tathagata in Buddhist scriptures. The Buddha smiles kindly, and the audience lives. The right hand "seals fearlessly" means removing pain, and the left hand "seals willingly" means giving happiness, which is a blessing. The whole Buddha statue is solemn, complete, serene, dignified and meticulous, showing the Buddha's merciful method.
