"Bodhi has no trees, and the mirror is not a stage. Buddha's nature is often clean, where there is dust! " -Hui Neng's Bodhi Worship
Since Buddhism was introduced to China, it has always been valued by Chinese people. Buddhism teaches people to be open-minded and not to care too much about external things, so that people can have a good mood.
As early as in ancient China, there were many buildings related to Buddhism. After Buddhism was introduced into China, it had a far-reaching influence on us, so there were many temples, pagodas or Buddha statues, sculptures and so on. In contemporary society, the water level of Jiangxi reservoir suddenly dropped, and then a large number of Buddha statues were exposed. After seeing them, experts said that their origins were incredible.
Buddhism was introduced from foreign countries, but it had an important influence on our country. In ancient times, there were many temples dedicated to Buddha statues, but these Buddha statues found in Jiangxi have a special geographical position, which is actually in the depths of the reservoir. At that time, due to the sudden drop of the water level in the reservoir, these Buddha statues surfaced again and were discovered by people.
The time can be traced back to 216. At that time, Jiangxi had been dry for several months, and the water in the small rivers was gradually evaporated. This drought also caused a once-in-a-century drought. Seeing the severe drought and the sudden drop of temperature, most of the water levels began to drop one after another, and a large number of Buddha statues appeared in Jiangxi Reservoir after the drop. The local people in Jiangxi didn't know that there was a Buddha statue here, so as soon as this happened, many people came to Hong Men Reservoir in Jiangxi to learn the story behind this Buddha statue.
It is reported that Hong Men Reservoir was built in the last century, which is an important reservoir in Jiangxi and of great significance to the local people. However, this reservoir has existed for so many years, and it has never been heard that there are so many Buddha statues. When the reservoir was built, the staff did not find the figure of Buddha. Obviously, these Buddhists should have been around for a long time. It was not until the water level of Hong Men Reservoir dropped that the Buddha statues appeared in front of people.
Finally, relevant experts are also investigating the truth of this matter, so they sent a professional investigation team here to look at the ancient relics. After investigation by experts and exploration with sophisticated equipment, we soon found the bottom of Hong Men Reservoir. The results show that there are the remains of ancient buildings under the reservoir. Not only that, all kinds of speculations prove that some people probably lived here in ancient times.
Although it has become a reservoir, it is impossible to dig out the cultural relics below, but experts can use modern means to explore and find the answers through ancient books. After that, experts began to read a large number of classics and historical documents, and finally found that hundreds of years ago, Hong Men Reservoir was once a bustling town, but for various reasons, this town was sparsely populated and gradually abandoned, so people now can't see that anyone once lived here. We built a reservoir here in the last century.
After that, experts found that there was a large family tomb group under the town. At this point, the ins and outs of this matter began to become clear. Experts said that at first it should be an ancient family cemetery, and finally it became business village, until the town was abandoned and turned into Hong Men Reservoir. It can be seen that this seemingly small place has so many twists and turns, and these Buddha statues may be the funerary objects of this huge family.
According to speculation, the owner of this ethnic group should be a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the vassal kings were all relatives of the country and had a high status, so the tombs were luxurious. In addition, several generations were buried here, so there were many cultural relics. Finally, experts found some religious relics, which shows that the owner of this tomb was a Buddhist.
Because this area has been developed into a reservoir and the water level has been eroded for years, the tombs have been buried. It was not until the water level began to drop here that we discovered The Secret Behind, which can also explain why the workers didn't find these mysterious Buddha statues when the Hong Men Reservoir was built. Buddhist culture has a long history and has a vital influence on us. Today, Buddhist culture still affects many Chinese people. Buddhism warns us to be open-minded, and it also gives us an open-minded mind about everything.

There are many ancient buildings, but even the most brilliant buildings have been buried and forgotten by people with the passage of time, but some ancient buildings have survived, just like this ancient tomb group. Although it is located under Longmen Reservoir, it is quietly telling its own life experience. Now that these Buddha statues have surfaced, it is beneficial for us to study ancient Buddhist culture and is a great help to us.
