Xinchang Buddhist Temple is located in the southwest of Xinchang County, Zhejiang Province, in the valley between Nanming Mountain and Shicheng Mountain. There are stone statues of Maitreya Buddha in the temple, and there are hidden crane cave, sawstone, Zhuoying Pavilion, military face stone, Shi Qiping, release pond and some cliff stone carvings outside the temple. The temple was built in the Yonghe period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (345-350), with a history of 65,430 years. The facade has five floors. The temple is tall and majestic, and the huge stone statue of Maitreya sits in the center of the main hall. This huge stone statue was carved on a cliff, and it took about 30 years to complete the carving. It is a masterpiece of early grottoes in Jiangnan. The Buddha statue is tall and majestic. Determine that the height of the stone statue is 2.4m and the height of the sitting statue is 13.2. Ears are 2.7 meters long, hands are placed between knees, and palms can hold 10 people. About 300 meters northwest of the Great Buddha Temple, there is also a small temple called "Thousand Buddha Temple". There are thousands of Buddha statues in the courtyard, each of which is about 7 inches long and nearly 5 inches wide. They are neatly arranged and radiant, which fully embodies the infinite wisdom and high artistic level of ancient Chinese craftsmen. Shicheng Mountain, which is surrounded by the city, has a long history of building temples and enjoys a high status in Buddhism. It was once one of the centers of Buddhism research and dissemination in China. Xinchang Buddhist Temple was founded in Yonghe, Eastern Jin Dynasty, with a history of 1600 years. According to Biography of Monks, in 345 AD, the monks Zhu Daoqian and Zhi Dun retired to Zhejiang. Silver moon Temple was built of grass, which led to the beginning of Xinchang Buddhist Temple. The religious status of Buddhist temples is very famous as grotto art statues, but the historical contribution of Buddhist temples in Buddhist research and dissemination has long been ignored by people. Now, when people re-recognize the religious status of Xinchang and Xinchang Buddhist temples, they can't help but mention once again that the eminent monks Zhu Daoqian and Zhi Dun Zhu and Zhi were already very famous in the Buddhist circles at that time. Yu Fa-lan, Yu Fa-kai and Yu, among the eighteen eminent monks in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, settled in Xinchang, eastern Zhejiang, and arrived one after another, attracting a large number of celebrities to talk about Taoism here. Yu Falan also built the Yuan Hua Temple, the predecessor of the Thousand Buddha Temple, outside the gate of the Great Buddha Temple. According to historical records and scholars' discussions, when Tan Guang arrived in Shicheng, Xinchang, Buddhism was introduced to China. Because many eminent monks studied and spread Buddhism here, Xinchang Buddhist Temple at that time became the national Buddhist research base, thus "six schools and seven schools" appeared in the history of Buddhism in China in eastern Zhejiang. The activities of many eminent monks and celebrities in Xinchang pushed the Buddhist teaching research in China to a climax, and gradually spread to the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins on the basis of the research results. This has naturally become the most important reason why the Buddhist community regards Xinchang Buddhist Temple as a Buddhist holy land. The glorious history and position of Buddhist temples in the development of Buddhism can be understood by tourists through special books and oral instructions of tour guides, but the harmony between the sculpture art, architecture and environment of Buddhist temples is difficult to be fully expressed by any words and languages. Only when you are here can we understand the mystery. The Buddha statue is located in a cave in Xianji Rock, Shicheng Mountain. Outside the cave, there is a magnificent hall of heroes. The flowing water outside the temple and the fragrant fog inside the temple are the core areas of the Buddhist temple. No matter what the purpose of visiting the Buddha's golden body is, no matter whether you are fully prepared, everyone will feel an invisible shock as soon as they enter the gate of the main hall. Even smiling and staring at every "everyman in the Big Buddha Temple", no one can avoid this feeling. The giant Buddha statue is 2m high,13.74m, with a head height of 4.8m, an ear length of 2.8m and a nose length of1.48m.. The whole statue has a harmonious shape, fully considering people's viewing angle, and is called "the first in the south of the Yangtze River" by academic circles. In the fourth year of Yongming in the Southern Qi Dynasty (486), a monk named Senghu came to Shicheng Mountain. According to legend, the Buddha's light appeared on the cliff of Ji Xian Rock, so he vowed to carve a huge statue of Maitreya Buddha on this cliff. However, in his lifetime, he only became a statue, and before he died, he vowed to "recreate this Buddha in the afterlife." Later, the monk and tiger continued to chisel without success. Until. Liang Jian 'an and Wang Suwei sent the most famous monk at that time to continue digging here. Under the calculation and command of the wandering monk, it was finally completed in fifteen years (5 16) and became famous all over the world. Since then, the real history of the giant Buddha has begun. Because of the legendary story of carving the giant Buddha, people also call it "the miracle of three lives". The excavation age and scale of the Great Buddha Temple are similar to those of Yungang in Shanxi and Longmen in Henan.
