How did Leshan Giant Buddha come from?
Legend has it that in the Tang Dynasty, ferries often capsized at the intersection of the three rivers (Dadu River, Qingyi River and Minjiang River), and I don't know why. Everyone says there are water ghosts at work.

Later, a mage named Haitong couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to build a Buddha to suppress monsters.

Haitong gave alms, recruited craftsmen, and so on to build the giant Buddha.

At that time, there were no mechanized tools, and the Buddha statues were all made by hand. It has been repaired for a long time. I remember it for like 90 years. Anyway, it was repaired from generation to generation. It's finally fixed.

Hey, don't tell me, since the Buddha was built, the water is not in a hurry, the boat doesn't turn over, and crossing the river is smooth. Now go once, go five times.

The reason is that when the giant Buddha was built, many stones fell into the river, and then all the places that would have formed a whirlpool were filled up, so the water didn't flow so fast.

This is the origin of the giant Buddha. . .

All by memory, purely by hand. . . .
