Is it true that the Leshan Giant Buddha closed its eyes again?

Leshan Giant BuddhaI really closed my eyes too.

In fact, the Leshan Giant Buddha really closed its eyes, but the 72-meter-high Maitreya Buddha located in Leshan.

It's not that I close my eyes, the real reason for this is acid rain.

Acid rain caused a chemical reaction that became a "black shell" caused the Buddha to close his eyes.

When it rains, there will still be a lot of rain carrying sediment from the surface of the Buddha statue, and the sediment will flow into the Buddha's eyes, and then settle inside the eyes, and eventually cover the eyes of the stone statue, so that when people look at it from a distance, it is no different from closing their eyes.

No.

The Leshan Giant Buddha closes its eyes because of the fading of the color. The eyes of the Leshan Giant Buddha are not black pupils that people have chiseled out, but artificially filled in color.

If it is not repaired regularly, its eye color will fade due to wind and sun. The reason why the Leshan Giant Buddha closes its eyes and opens its eyes is precisely because our country is repairing it.

Leshan Giant BuddhaLeshan Giant Buddha was built in the first year of the Tang Dynasty, the legend is that it was excavated by the Haitong monk with people, after 3 people in charge, spanning about 90 years before the construction was completed.

The purpose of building the Leshan Giant Buddha was because the Leshan Giant Buddha was located at the confluence of the three rivers of the Min River, the Tsing Yi River and the Dadu River. In ancient times, land transportation in Leshan was not developed, and the merchants and even the army needed to rely on waterways for passage. However, during the rainy season, the local water flow is too large, resulting in frequent flooding disasters in the area, especially at the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is more vulnerable to flooding due to its location at the confluence of three rivers.

In order to recede the flood, ensure the safety of the people, and promote Buddhism, the monk Haitong led a group of craftsmen to dig a mountain here and build a big Buddha. It is said that after the completion of the construction of the Buddha, there were many fewer incidents of flooding in the area.

The Leshan Giant Buddha is built on the mountain, under the action of the sun and wind, the plants will take root and sprout here, if the plants around the Leshan Giant Buddha are not cleaned regularly, the body structure of the Giant Buddha may be destroyed by natural erosion.

The reason why the Leshan Giant Buddha closes its eyes is because of the erosion of acid rain. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's industry was not developed, the natural environment was better, and the erosion of rain would not have much impact on the Buddha itself. However, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the industrialization process of the shining mold, and the waste gas treatment measures were not in place at that time, the probability of acid rain was higher at that time, and the erosion effect of acid rain on the stone Buddha statue was very obvious, and there were many stone statues abroad that were unrecognizable because of acid rain erosion.

In the Sichuan Basin, because it is surrounded by mountains, it is difficult for moisture to leak out, so that the old infiltration and sedimentation effect of acid rain here is more obvious, and under the influence of acid rain, the eyes of the Leshan Giant Buddha will be similar to tears, as well as the phenomenon of closing eyes.

As for the Leshan Giant Buddha re-opened his eyes, it was not respectful that the stone Buddha statue had a spirit, but that our country has been protecting this stone Buddha statue, for example: in 1962, the national economy was not developed, but our country still allocated special funds to carry out a comprehensive repair of the Buddha statue, so the Leshan Giant Buddha reopened its eyes.
