Why did Leshan Giant Buddha cry four times? What's the story behind it?
According to records, during natural disasters such as 1962, 1963, 1976 Tangshan earthquake and China's successful Olympic bid in 2000, the giant Buddha closed his eyes and cried four times.
In the long river of historical development, Leshan Giant Buddha has experienced many years of wind and rain, and even been damaged many times, so the Buddha body is also full of holes. 1962 A large number of people starved to death because of poor harvest. 1963 was also a natural and man-made disaster, which lasted for one year. 1976 Tangshan earthquake touched the hearts of countless people. In 2000, China joined the WTO and successfully applied for the Olympic Games. Although this statue is mysterious and magnificent, we know that there is a scientific explanation behind it.
The geographical location of Leshan Giant Buddha is also quite special, not in the mountains, but at the confluence of Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River. The local climate is humid and the precipitation is abundant. In order to avoid the erosion of the Buddha statue by precipitation, the bun part of Leshan Giant Buddha is divided into three horizontal drains, and the eye part has a smaller drain. Especially when it rains heavily, these three drains will drain the rainwater very skillfully, so from a distance, Leshan Giant Buddha will cry. Because the pigment around the eyes falls off because of the erosion of rain, it causes the illusion of closing your eyes.
