Cultural background of Pingshan county

Pingshan Lifo is located in Baxian Mountain on the outskirts of Longhua Town, pingshan county, a famous provincial historical and cultural town in Sichuan, so it is also called Baxian Mountain Giant Buddha, and it is one of the top ten stone buddhas in China. After two 53-meter-high and 35-meter-high standing Buddha statues in Bamiyan, Afghanistan were destroyed by artillery fire, the Eight Immortals Mountain Buddha became the first standing Buddha statue in the world. The stone Buddha is carved from the cliff and stone wall, with its back facing north and south. It stands 32 meters high, with a shoulder width of 10 meter, a head length of 8 meters and an ear length of 3.2 meters. Its hairstyle is bun, and it wears a shoulder-length shirt with a bare chest and waist, and it looks solemn and kind. At present, the life experience of the Eight Immortals Buddha is unknown, but its legend is widely circulated in Pingshan. According to legend, in Sheng Xing, a Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty, a pair of other disciples who were famous for carving Buddha statues were ordered to choose a mountain to carve Buddha statues. My brother chose a mountain by the Leshan River, while my brother chose the Eight Immortals. My younger brother is young and handsome, and he is peeped by foxes in the mountains. He came to play with each other the other day and made out for a long time. Later, in order to be happy on earth, my brother worked day and night, reducing the size of the chisel again and again, so that in the end, he took the fox with him without carving the feet of the giant Buddha. His brother used his life and the efforts of his descendants to carve the Leshan Giant Buddha. Therefore, it is said that the Eight Immortals Buddha and Leshan Buddha are brothers. 1966, when the "Cultural Revolution" broke the four modernizations, the Eight Immortals Buddha was attacked by explosive charges, partially damaging his right eye and the sleeve of his right hand, but there was no major damage as a whole. In order to protect the ancient cultural and artistic heritage and develop tourism, not long ago, Pingshan County raised more than 50,000 yuan to repair and beautify the giant Buddha and built a new climbing stone ladder.
