There are many inscriptions written by Zhao Xi in the mountains, which are beautiful and vigorous, and every time visitors stop to enjoy them. Zhao Xi, whose name is Yao Sheng and whose name is Xiang Song, is a famous poet, poet and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. There are chansons Ci and chansons Ci, which have been handed down from generation to generation. Calligraphy is known as "Zhao Zi of Rong County". With its charming posture, tablet and paste are integrated, and it can be called a calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. The quality of his calligraphy in his later years can be compared with that of Song and Yuan Dynasties. In the Republic of China, Zhao Qian boarded the Buddhist temple and wrote poems on the platform:
The golden statue of Taiqing is majestic, and Yuanfeng Yuan You is eight years old. Yeongju does not let history be good, only the sound of Feng Shui. There are several stories in Song Dynasty. Seeing through Sima's cold eyes, a smile in the mountains is Sun Deng. Halfway up the mountain of the Great Buddha Cliff, there is an ancient monument called "whistle platform". According to legend, Xiao Xuan, the son of the Yellow Emperor, took a nap here when he was hunting. Sun Deng, a famous person in Wei and Jin Dynasties, was on the stage for "Screaming for Taiwan Province", with a long whistle and a melodious voice like the voice of a phoenix; Therefore, the northern Song Rongzhou map is called "Sun Dengxiaotai", and the word "Xiaotai" is engraved on the cliff, written by Zhao Qian, with a diameter of one meter. Zhao Xi seldom writes seal script, which is very rare.
There is a "Wengfang Pavilion" on the top of the mountain. During the Song Dynasty, Lu You passed the sentence in Ren Rong and often traveled to the Big Foshan, leaving many poems. For example, he said between the lines that "the guests are relaxing and looking for a dragon cave in the roaring platform." In order to commemorate Lu You, later generations named the pavilion where he rested on the mountain "Weng Fangting".

history
1July, 980, it was announced as a cultural relics protection unit in Sichuan Province. According to the Records of Rongxian County edited by Gan Qing Huanglong, "The Great Buddha Mountain is located in the east of the city, and the Tang people carved Buddha, which is in harmony with the mountain. The temple has ten floors, 47 feet high and 15 feet wide. Today, the Buddha statue is towering, but the banquet is horizontal and vertical, and it has not been in the wilderness for a long time. " According to the Records of Rongxian County compiled by Zhao Xi, a famous scholar in the middle of Shu in the late Qing Dynasty, the Rongxian Giant Buddha was established in Yuanfeng, Song Shenzong in eight years (1085), and was completed in Yuan You in seven years (1092). But when it was carved is still inconclusive. The temple where the Giant Buddha is located was named Kaihua Temple in the Tang Dynasty, and later called the Giant Buddha Temple. Panorama of the Giant Buddha Scenic Area
After the reconstruction in the Song Dynasty, the scale was very large, and the temple gate reached the bank of this stream. In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the temple was destroyed by fire and rebuilt during the Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. There will be irregular maintenance and expansion in the future. Due to the terrain limitation, the temple can only be built on the mountain. Retract the mountain gate, take the Buddha as the center and spread to the left and right. It is mainly composed of Daxiong Hall, Guanyin Hall, Dizang Hall, Dharma Hall, Luohan Hall, Tibetan Scripture Building, Abbot Room and Zen Room. Looking at the forest at the foot of the mountain; The ancient temples are strewn at random. In the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, the incense in the temple was very prosperous. Good men and women in neighboring counties, whether going to Emei Mountain or Baoding, have to go through Rongxian County to worship Buddha. Before and after liberation, the temple was in disrepair and was in disrepair. After the "Cultural Revolution", the state allocated special funds for comprehensive maintenance of temples and extensive tree planting. Now, the whole temple covers an area of 20,000 square meters, with a building area of 2,000 square meters, all of which are ancient buildings or antique buildings. Surrounded by mountains and trees, the long cultural landscape and beautiful natural scenery are integrated into one, forming an attractive scenic spot in southern Sichuan.
Edit the personal information of this temple.
The gate of the temple is in the northwest of the foothills, facing the stone lions in front, which is magnificent. Enter the gate and climb the stairs. The first hall is a hall with double eaves and built on the mountain. In the temple, the potbellied Maitreya Buddha is called a cloth bag monk, commonly known as Lohan with a big belly and Lohan with a smile. Most of the temples are dedicated to Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and foreign figures, but only this Lohan is a native of China. Moreover, Luohan in Rongxian county is famous for his love of laughter, because his eyebrows are crooked and his mouth is crooked, so it is ridiculous. People who came to see him laughed, and laughter came from Lohan's mouth. People seemed to hear Lohan's "giggle" laughter. The existing smiling arhat is a later plastic sculpture, although it is different from before. And Liu Qianli, a famous calligrapher in Rongxian County, may also make up for its shortcomings. Li Anyun: Smile when you open your mouth, and everything in ancient and modern times laughs; A big belly can accommodate people's needs.
Above the double eaves hall of Rongxian Giant Buddha (15) is Daxiong Hall, which is dedicated to the Rongxian Giant Buddha carved by Yishan, surrounded by clay sculptures and Guanyin. Daxiong Hall was originally a four-story building with a single eaves. In the past, people could only look at the head of the Buddha from a distance. Look carefully at the foot of the Buddha statue. "Now it's an antique building with four eaves and a rest mountain. It's the full name of the giant Buddha's protective building, referred to as the giant Buddha's building. When you climb the Great Buddha Pagoda, you can watch the majestic posture of the Great Buddha layer by layer, or you can cross the Lotus Pagoda on the left. Turn right to the whistle platform. Climbing to the top of the stairs, it is suitable to reach the Foguang Pavilion overhead, with a panoramic view of Rongcheng from the distant mountains and near the water. Since the revival of Qing Dynasty, Rongxian Buddha Temple belongs to Lin Ji Sect, which is one of the sects in Shan State, so it is also called the Buddha Temple. All temples of Shanism must be dedicated to the founders of Buddhism. In the twenty-first year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 16), Gui, the governor of Zhifu Palace, donated money to engrave the map of Damocles crossing the river on the cliff west of the Giant Buddha. Dharma, a monk in South India, came to Guangzhou from the sea at the end of Liu and Song Dynasties, and was received by Liang Wudi in the capital Jianye (Nanjing) to spread Zen. He is the founder of Zen Buddhism in China and is called the founder of Buddhism. The map of crossing the river with Dharma in Rongxian County is based on the map of the Great Buddha Scenic Area in Rongxian County, Zigong, and Dharma and Liang Wudi dialect are not speculative.
This data comes from Baidu map, and the final result is subject to Baidu map data.
Later, he crossed the river to Hanshan Shaolin Temple. The main statue of Dharma is 4.9 meters high and almost carved into a circle. Damian used a lotus mord, with futons and sandals hanging on it and beads in his left hand. There are many beads. Father is fat and round. Facial muscles are prominent and eyes are wide open. Jiongjiongweishen, chest and abdomen exposed, ribs sideways, appears brave and powerful. Behind him, the fish rolled on the waves, the coat rolled up in the wind and the reeds were trampled. He turned around and still stood in the turbulent waves, which was quite charming. There are also cliff statues in the Tang and Song Dynasties on the cliff wall of Xiaotai, and there are eighteen arhats in the western paradise. Among them, the "Luohan Group Niche" is 3.4 meters high, 4.6 meters wide and 0.46 meters deep, and there are six Luohan carved in it, three of which have their heads destroyed. A peach tree is embossed in the middle of the six-point arhat, and a peach tree is hung on the branch. Lohan, leaning against Xiantao, crossing his hands and putting them on his chest, is leisurely; The other one seems indifferent to Xiantao. Statues show that they are beyond the secular world and are not moved by fate. Sculptures with this layout are rare in China and have certain research value. They have been collected by The Complete Works of Fine Arts in China Sichuan Grottoes Sculpture. "Xiao Taizong wins a county". In the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was a porch sill here, and in the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a "Life Pavilion" for people to look back on the past. If you stand on the stage, you can see the towering Buddha statue in the east and the deep dragon cave in the west. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, this is a place that people like to visit. Historically, the pavilion and threshold on Dong Yuxuan's balcony have long been destroyed. 1982, according to the records of ancient books, the former site of "Yisheng Pavilion" in Song Dynasty was clarified, and the "Yisheng Pavilion" was rebuilt on the platform side for people to rest, pay tribute and mourn the ancients. On May 25th, 2006, Rongxian Giant Buddha Grottoes, as a cultural relic of the Tang Dynasty, were approved by the State Council to be included in the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
