Is the Lushena Buddha really based on Wu Zetian? How did the open air Buddha withstand thousands of

The Lushena Buddha is not based on Wu Zetian, this open-air Buddha can be maintained for 1,400 years, because the location of the Buddha statue is more elegant, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the Buddha statue is tightly protected in the middle.

1. The Great Buddha of Lushena.

The Buddha is the Buddha of the body, it is said that in Buddhism is the meaning of wisdom, this Buddha is very special, with a Mona Lisa-like smile on the face, from the appearance, but also reveals a feminine softness, so it will be suspected that it was created by Wu Zetian as the prototype. In addition, the time when this big Buddha appeared happened to be the time when Wu Zetian took a lot of actions to seize power. That's why some people have doubts about this, and I think that's understandable.

But strictly speaking, during that period, Tang Gaozong was the supreme ruler, although Wu Zetian was responsible for a lot of national affairs, but the possibility of carving Buddha statues according to Wu Zetian's face was still relatively low, at most, Wu Zetian had some influence on the face of the Buddha statue.

Second, the Buddha statue is in an ingenious position.

The reason why this statue has survived to this day is that although it was built in an open-air environment, the location of the Buddha statue is quite clever. When the ancients chose the site, they liked to build the building in the place where the mountain is south and the water is north, this kind of Buddha statue is just north and south, and the left and right rear are all injured, so that the wind above the east and west and north are all blocked, and the only thing that can wash the Buddha statue is the wind from the south. Therefore, the place where this kind of Buddha statue is invaded by wind and rain is only the hand, and there is no other position.

3. The large relief statues were not destroyed during the Buddha extermination movement.

This open-air Buddha, in addition to withstanding the wind and frost for thousands of years, also survived the Tang Dynasty's extermination campaign, because at that time, various large, medium and small temples took away a lot of the country's financial budget, and in the Tang Dynasty WTO can be exempted from taxes, so too many temples will make the country have a heavy financial burden. Therefore, in the late Tang Dynasty, there was a very large-scale campaign to exterminate Buddhism, mainly to destroy many large, medium and small temples, and let the monks return to the laity. As a large relief, it survived because there were many monks worshipping it.

The reason why the Lotte Buddha can withstand thousands of years of wind and frost is because of a very high-grade material he used in the process of construction.

Wu Zetian of the Big Buddha Temple is all speculation, and it has not been confirmed that the reason why the Big Buddha was not damaged was because the site was very good and avoided the destruction of many natural disasters.
