Why is the Central Plains Giant Buddha called Changchun Buddha?

The Central Plains Giant Buddha is actually called Changchun Buddha, and this name has the following two sources:

1. This is because the Great Buddha Temple in Changchun is mainly dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha, and the Buddha statue is tall, so it is called the Great Buddha Temple in Changchun.

2. The name of Changchun Giant Buddha is also related to Changchun City. Changchun, located in the geographical and geometric center of Northeast Asia, is the capital of Jilin Province and the only capital city without subway in China. Changchun Buddhist Temple is located in Changchun City, so it is called Changchun Buddha.

These are the reasons why the Central Plains Giant Buddha is called Changchun Buddha.
