"Nanhai Guanyin" cost 800 million yuan to build and was accused of wasting money, but now it has received rave reviews. Why?

Nanhai Guanyin was built at a cost of 800 million yuan. I was accused of wasting money at first, but now I get rave reviews. The differences before and after are mainly influenced by cultural and economic development.

1. The world's No.1 Nanhai Guanyin StatuThis famous Nanhai Guanyin Statue is located in Sanya, China. The whole Guanyin statue, including its pedestal, is as high as 108 meter, which is the largest Guanyin statue in the world at present.

In addition, this Nanhai Guanyin is unique in that it was built on the South China Sea. Because of this feature, this Guanyin statue in the South China Sea is now affectionately called their anchor needle by local residents in Sanya.

Although this Guanyin statue in the South China Sea is now so famous and admired by the world, it was built with great shame.

Second, the criticized Guanyin statue The earliest construction time of this Nanhai Guanyin statue can be traced back to 1993, and it was not officially completed until 2005. It has been 28 years since its establishment.

The construction of Guanyin statue in the South China Sea was difficult and the workload was heavy. At that time, the level of science and technology was not as developed as it is now. In many ways, machines have not replaced manual construction.

Therefore, the construction of the whole Guanyin statue in the South China Sea cost more than 800 million yuan, which is a huge project sum whether in 2000 or now 202 1.

At the beginning, many people raised objections and even questioned that the local government had invested so much money to build such a Guanyin statue.

Some people think it's a waste of money and it's hard to get it back.

Some people think that it is a wrong decision to build Guanyin statue in the South China Sea, and the decider is absolutely crazy.

In short, most people are critical of this Guanyin statue in the South China Sea.

Third, the highly respected Nanhai Guanyin statue has been built so far, and now the impression in the hearts of the people has changed a lot.

Every year, there are many tourists visiting Sanya to pay homage to Guanyin in the South China Sea. This Nanhai Guanyin can be said to have greatly promoted the local economic development and tourism development.

Even those who oppose the government's huge investment in the construction of Guanyin statue in the South China Sea have to admit that the country has a long-term vision, and it is this long-term vision that has promoted the development and revival of Sanya.

4. Where did the change of ideas come from? The change of people's attitude towards Guanyin in the South China Sea is actually influenced by the profound cultural and economic background.

1. Why do you object?

Why did many people oppose the construction of Nanhai Guanyin by relevant departments at the beginning? In fact, it was mainly because people were generally not rich at that time, and even people in many areas had not achieved food and clothing.

The economic base determines the superstructure, and people who have insufficient food and clothing have no intention of considering tourism and leisure, so many people oppose the construction of the flashy Guanyin statue.

Why do you support it?

(1) Legendary influence

Guanyin in Nanhai was originally built because of a famous legend in Nanhai.

According to legend, Guanyin first appeared in the South China Sea. At that time, there were many monsters in the South China Sea, and people at sea could not return safely when they went fishing. The local people were persecuted by sea monsters and the people were in trouble.

Guanyin bodhisattva, who helped the poor and needy, came to Nanhai town to exorcise demons after understanding the suffering of fishermen in the South China Sea. Finally, fishermen in the South China Sea are no longer disturbed by monsters.

People are grateful to Guanyin Bodhisattva, so all generations have believed in Buddhism, especially Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Nowadays, a large number of tourists go to Sanya every year to see Guanyin in the South China Sea, because they have heard of this famous legend.

(2) the influence of Buddhist culture

Guanyin and Buddha are both elements of Buddhist culture, and the popularity of Guanyin in the South China Sea is also a major manifestation of the prevalence of Buddhist culture.

Buddhist culture has a long history. Whether in modern or ancient times, there are many good men and women who believe in Buddhism. These Buddhist believers think that this huge Guanyin statue in the South China Sea is a typical building of Buddhism, and they certainly support it.

(3) The role of promoting economy has changed people.

The most fundamental reason why Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea is so popular now is that it has promoted the economy of the South China Sea and even Sanya as a whole.

Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea has become a representative tourist attraction in the South China Sea, and tourists who travel to the South China Sea basically have to visit Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea.

Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea has made great contributions to Sanya's tourism economy every year, and the tourism income alone is hundreds of millions.

It has been 16 years since the completion of Nanhai Guanyin, and the income is definitely dozens of times the original construction cost.

Residents of Nanhai and Sanya have gained great benefits and a well-off life, so they support the Guanyin statue in Nanhai.
