Episode 58 Stone carving enlightenment
The two of them walked and visited, these Dazu stone carvings are stone carvings with Buddhist themes, which are very exquisite and magnificent.
Each engraving has its own story, and it is also colorful, which is very realistic and even vivid.
In particular, the Buddha statue in the stone cave has a self-explanatory expression, and even the tassels of the clothes give the impression that it can be blown by a gust of wind.
Jiulong walked and watched, for some reason, his mind was full of the appearance of Master Yunguang, and he casually touched the hand play pieces of Master Yunguang that he brought, and couldn't help but look at each Buddha statue, wanting to find the shadow of Master Yunguang.
Not to mention, there are a few statues that don't look like them, Jiulong has a different feeling in his heart, it seems that here, he doesn't see what he wants.
There is a museum in Baoding Mountain, which introduces the earliest Buddhist stone carvings in India, and the stone carving pictures of Dunhuang, Maijishan and Longmen are also displayed, but the overall is not comparable with Dunhuang.
Although it is a stone carving of Baoding Mountain, it is not on the top of a high mountain, but more like on the edge of a basin.
Without the shelter of the eaves and mountains, the stone statues are exposed to broad daylight, but the colors are gorgeous.
The unique feature of this museum is that it combines the stories of ordinary people's cultivation, filial piety, and persuasion to quit drinking, like a comic book that can be seen on the mountain wall.
However, the most famous here are the renovated thousand-armed and thousand-eyed Guanyin, as well as the side-lying bust of the Buddha's Nirvana, which is indeed shocking.
A mysterious cave is closed directly to thank customers because of the large number of people on the festival, and there is only a regret of passing by.
Originally, I thought that the Dazu stone carvings were far less famous than Wulong Tiankeng, but the Dazu stone carvings were also overcrowded during the festival, and they had no chance to stop and appreciate them carefully, and they were directly pushed to the exit by the crowd of people rubbing shoulders.
Jiulong and Xiao Qiao simply went to another stone carving area, Shimen Mountain.
Because the tour guide said, there are different stone carvings here.
Shimen Mountain is located in Xinsheng Village, Shima Town, 20 kilometers east of Longgang Street, DZ District.
This did not disappoint Kowloon.
The cliff statue of Shimen Mountain is a statue area of Buddhism and Taoism, especially the Taoist statue is the most distinctive.
For example, the clairvoyant image outside the No. 2 Jade Emperor Shrine, the eye is like a copper bell, and it seems to be able to see thousands of miles;
Shunfeng ears have ugly faces, and open ears to listen carefully;
The two images are full of muscles, the muscles and veins are exposed, and the techniques are exaggerated.
No. 7 one-legged Wutong Emperor, his left foot is independent of a hot wheel, with a wide forehead and deep eyes, a wide mouth and thick lips, and a flying robe, which has the tendency to come and go like the wind.
No. 10 Sanhuang Cave has 35 existing statues, elegant and delicate, the clothes are folded and stretched, the technique is realistic, and the "human taste" is more than the "divine taste".
No. 12 Dongyue Emperor Bao Confession Shrine Disguised Shrine 98 figures, with Dongyue Emperor and Empress Shuming in the center, reflecting the prominent position of the Dongyue family in the Taoist god system from the 10th to the 13th centuries AD (Song Dynasty).
The main Buddhist themes include the Medicine Buddha Shrine, the Water Moon Guanyin Shrine, the Shakya Buddha Shrine, the Ten Holy Guanyin Caves, the Peacock Ming King Sutra Cave, and the Mother Shrine of the Emperor Heli. Among them, the No. 6 Ten Holy Guanyin Cave is the most exquisite.
Shimen Mountain Grottoes, carved in the Song Dynasty, is located at the top of Shimen Mountain, Xinsheng Village, Shima Town, East of the City, DZ District, because of its two huge stones in the mountain sandwiched like a door.
It is built along the rock, a total of 13 niche caves, or immortals or releases, or ghosts and gods, dwelling in a district, all exquisite, ghostly and wonderful, exquisite.
Jiulong was immersed in the world of Buddha and Taoism, and suddenly had an understanding.
Aren't these stone carvings of different shapes the best subject matter for appreciating stones? In the future, when you encounter stones with similar shapes, it will be much easier to name them.
Here, there is Buddha and Tao, which is really surprising.
It stands to reason that the Buddha is the Buddha and the Tao is the Tao, how can they get along together and be so harmonious, which can only show that the traditional Chinese culture is inclusive, which is the wisdom of the ancestors and the fundamental reason why the Chinese civilization has not been broken.
Kowloon thought of playing with stones, why playing with stones has such a large regionality, each place thinks that their stones are good, can't they respect each other and fulfill each other.
Kowloon has never had too many regional concepts in his heart, otherwise he would not have brought marble paintings this time, but, in his bones, who doesn't want his stone to be good, this point, Kowloon is not exempt from vulgarity.
Taoism pays attention to "Tao gives birth to one, life to two, two to three, and three to all things." ”
Taoism is natural.
Playing with stones, is it necessary to go with the flow and not be forced?
Kowloon is pondering.
Perhaps, the stone path he seeks is in nature, learning from the stone, taking the stone as a teacher, taking the stone as a friend, and the mood is naturally different.
"Little Joe, it's getting late, let's go back. ”
Kowloon had a smile on his face, very bright.
"After seeing the Dazu stone carvings, I will be happy with you, and tell me what treasures you have found. ”
Xiao Qiao looked at Jiulong suspiciously, in her eyes, these were just strange stone carvings, what was there to make a fuss about.
"Hehe, the Buddha said, don't say. ”
Kowloon deliberately sold off the gates.
"It's good that you're happy, and after a day of running, I'm as tired as a bear. ”
Xiao Qiao crossed his waist as he spoke, and he seemed to be unable to walk.
Jiulong hurriedly went over to beat Xiao Qiao's back, very considerate.
Xiao Qiao looked around, and there were strange glances around him.
Kowloon ignored these, took Xiao Qiao's arm, beckoned a taxi, and went back to the hotel.
It was another night of lingering, and the two of them were like glue, and they didn't know that the night was deep.
The next day, Jiulong thought about the Yunlin Stone Spectrum, got up with Xiao Qiao early and ran to the Fog Metropolis Exhibition Center.
When I arrived at the door of the convention and exhibition center, I saw a large number of people surrounding a man wearing Zen clothes and holding a broken fan, and placed two stones at the door, which were yang stones and yin stones symbolizing men and women, which were the same size as adults, and gave a very elegant name: "The Source of Life".
These two square stones are quite similar, the raised ones have masculine beauty, and the concave ones are unfathomable.
Xiao Qiao looked at it with a blushing face.
This man calls himself a "crazy genius", and he is also a person who plays with stones, he took out a placard from the shoulder bag behind his back, and wrote: "Nature's magic axe, the world's first yin and yang stone, do not lose the chicken out of the shell, the price is 100 million, and the willing person will take the bait." ”
Everyone and look at you, you look at me, a burst of laughter.
Is this person crazy for money and dares to make such an offer?
The man seemed to see the dissatisfaction of the crowd, and shouted while fanning: "My combination is not blown, can't you see that it is very similar?"
He asked a man who was close to him, "Does this look like yours?" ”
The man was embarrassed by what he said, and hurriedly ran away, and everyone laughed.
The "crazy genius" seemed to be unsatisfied, holding the yin stone and looking at a lady: "This beauty ......"
Before he could finish speaking, the beauty had already run away without a trace.
"Don't run, I just want you to prove that it's not like this, can you use it?"
The "crazy genius" wondered why he didn't say anything wrong, why did he see him one by one, as if he had met a plague god.
"Big brother, how is your stone worth 100 million?"
Kowloon was also interested, and deliberately asked "crazy talent".
"How can it not be worth it? The chick is the size of an egg when it comes out of the shell, and I heard that those who have done it are worth more than 100 million, I am a combination, and it is very similar, I offer 100 million is less. ”
"Crazy genius" is full of words.
