Gangu meijing composition

Daxiangshan looks like a flag and looks like a dragon horizontally. It used to be called Wen Qi. The mountains are covered with pine trees and lilacs, pavilions and pavilions are built by the mountains, and carved corridors are shaded by trees. On the cliff between the cliffs in the mountain, there is a cave, in which sits a clay sculpture stone tire Buddha statue, which is Sakyamuni Buddha. The Buddha statue is 23.3 meters high and 10.4 meters wide, with beautiful appearance, solemn appearance, plump face, double earlobes and shoulders, coiled hair, magnificent figure, sloping cassock, short tadpole-shaped lips and many knots. The exact excavation date of the Giant Buddha Grottoes cannot be traced back to filial piety. According to relevant data and unearthed cultural relics, the plastic Buddha statue in Gangu can be traced back to the Northern Wei Dynasty. The grotto art experts of Gansu Provincial Museum have made a detailed observation and appraisal of the giant Buddha, which is a cultural relic in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Daxiangshan Grottoes in Gangu began to be excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and it was not until the prosperous Tang Dynasty that it was more perfect. It has experienced four dynasties and more than 300 years.

On both sides of the Buddha cave, there are long corridors, such as the same belt, connected to the mountain. The grottoes in the corridor are connected and magnificent. There are 22 grottoes, most of which are close to a square on the plane. There is a large circular arch niche, a high altar base and a Zen cave for monks to practice on the main wall. This is a major feature of the elephant cave niche, which is also rare in China. Gangu Daxiangshan is located in Gangu County, Tianshui City, far away from Wuhuali, the county seat.

Gangu Buddha is Sakyamuni Buddha. Since Daxiangshan was renamed as the Giant Buddha, the world has always called it Daxiangshan. After deeply studying the birth, history and allusions of the Buddha, Zhao Puchu, president of the Buddhist Association, thought that it was more accurate to name it Daxiangshan according to the legend of Sakyamuni's "being born in an elephant". Although there is only one word difference, it is homophonic, but it has far-reaching significance. Since then, Xiangshan landscape has been officially named Daxiangshan.
