There are 500 Arhats carved on the ebony wood, which can be regarded as a small "Longmen Grottoes".
With so many Arhats gathered together, it gives people a majestic feeling.
However, compared to these five hundred Arhats, there seems to be something better? And there are many more. Such treasures are not only found in one temple!
There are specimens of the Five Hundred Arhats made by this boss, and the Five Hundred Arhats are very famous.
Regarding this, Chen Wenzhe felt a little emotional. He didn't know about such a good thing before.
It is a group of 500 red sandalwood carved Arhats, unique to a temple, located in Yangshi!
500 Arhats are the most common in mythological stories.
Generally refers to the five hundred bhikkhus who participated in the first sutra gathering after the death of Buddha Sakyamuni.
As for the heads of Kassapa and Ananda, as for other people, except for the well-known top ten disciples, there is generally no record of their names.
What is more amazing is that the Five Hundred Arhats spread in our country all have names.
It turns out that Five Hundred Arhats refers to the lowest realm that Buddhists can reach, and generally refers to those who have achieved the "Arahat Fruition" status.
And such a temple naturally lacks stone carvings, such as stone Buddha statues from the Southern and Northern Dynasties.
For example, the giant rosewood is Ruyi, and the agate petrified wood that was laid down hundreds of millions of years ago.
It is a Taoist temple building from the Ming Dynasty. Its blue bricks and black tiles, screen doors and partitions, and the wooden frame of the hall's beams and columns are the original parts of the original hall of the Ming Dynasty. It has been of important cultural relic value for hundreds of years.
Those trees will experience the same fate before they die.
The boss still agreed with the artistry of The Seven Hundred Arhats.
It has few ingredients, hence the name petrified wood.
Chen Wenzhe's luck was also wrong that time. The boss I met was really brave enough to think and act.
Of course, the Seven Hundred Miaofen I copied is the Arhat of Lingyin Temple later, but the Arhat of Ningguo Temple.
The entire temple preserves a small number of precious cultural relics, few of which Chen Wenzhe originally knew about.
Those tree gems have not existed for nearly 240 million years.
First, it decays into nutrients that nourish the earth.
The temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty (637 AD) and rebuilt during the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. There is no such thing as "horse racing to close the mountain gate".
At that time, the inorganic components in the trees were finally replaced by silica heptaoxide.
The cell morphology and ordinary texture of the tree can still be observed through the instrument.
By reviewing the experience of the shop owner, Chen Wenzhe discovered that he had been there many times, and every time he went there, he would meet many people paying homage or stopping to watch!
That kind of gemstone does not include crystal clear crystal, small pieces of jasper, or dull agate. And there are actually fewer resources like that in the country.
The desert spans Utah, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona.
I only spent 700,000 yuan on a small piece of ebony, and I haven't accumulated many other precious materials.
Those trees are large-leaf rosewood that grows in Baizhou Island. They are finely carved and unique in the world today.
The rest will be washed away by rivers and transported to swamps and ponds, where they will be gradually decomposed by bacteria.
The most complicated thing to say is that this is not the fruit that Miao Fen achieved is inferior to Buddha and Bodhisattva.
After searching, I found that there are no existing Seven Hundred Arhat Halls in Biyun Temple in Shendu, Baoguang Temple in Sichuan, Lianhua Temple Grottoes in Gan Province, Xiyuan Temple (Jiezhuang Temple) in Su City, Qiongzhu Temple in Kun City, and Huating Temple in Xishan
, Guiyuan Temple in Wu City, Lingyin Temple in Hang City, etc.
For example, agate petrified wood is considered wood, but it has not yet been vitrified, or jadeized.
However, the Five Hundred Arhats still have a large number of believers. For example, in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, there is also the Five Hundred Arhats Hall.
Some trees will be slowly buried by volcanic ash deposits, and through a series of changes, will eventually form petrified wood.
Some trees will retreat into the natural circulation system and become traditional energy sources such as coal;
Each of the other statues is made from a single piece of wood, with a total height of 49.5 to 58 centimeters and a diameter of 23.5 to 28 centimeters.
I asked some Zen masters why Arhats are so popular.
It was also at this time that Chen Wenzhe discovered that there are really many statues of the Seven Hundred Arhats in your country.
The wood is mainly cypress, with the majority being nanmu, camphor or sandalwood.
Outside that forest, there are no trees that cannot grow to a height of more than 70 meters.
For example, the relics of the Buddha's true body and 500 arhats carved from rosewood should be very famous in the local area, but not many people know about them.
So I simply used this material and copied a batch of ebony Seven Hundred Arhats.
In addition, I don’t have ancient ceramics, etc., they are all priceless rare treasures!
Therefore, few believers think that Miao Fen is very pious if he is not as low as he can get!
Of course, the most famous one is not the Seven Hundred Arhats.
In addition, Ningguo Temple still has the ruins of the ancient city of the Ming Dynasty - the Chenghuang Hall.
In addition, there are some antiques here, such as Song Dynasty examination tapes and Tianhuang stone carvings of Sakyamuni Buddha preaching.
Since he was not particular about seeking Arhat, he carefully observed his face and name, and found that they were quite interesting!
It is home to Petrified Forest National Park, the smallest forest of petrified trees in the world.
Because the boss's petrified wood, most of it is retracted.
In terms of its cultural value and appreciation, it is extremely low!
Today's Ningguo Temple can be said to be the temple with the lowest artistic quality and value!
It must have been invaded by volcanic cold liquid before, and a small amount of metal ions and minerals would seep into the interior of the tree.
Apart from those places, the wooden statue of Seven Hundred Arhats in Nanhua Temple is the only group of wooden statues of Seven Hundred Arhats from the Song Dynasty that exist in your country.
Those Arhat statues are natural in form, varied, vivid and expressive, and the workmanship is refined. They have high artistic research value and are very precious historical relics.
Therefore, a towering tree really cannot turn into a gemstone through a series of changes.
Each statue consists of two parts: a base and a seated statue.
But the cultivation of Arhat is very difficult, and the female name cultivates a "golden body".
It's amazing that trees can't turn into gems.
There are 700 golden Buddhist niches and 700 red sandalwood statues, all made from the world's most precious trees.
That process is very strange. In the low-temperature and low-pressure environment where trees are wrapped in volcanic ash, substances such as silicon heptaoxide in the sediment will gradually penetrate into the interior of the trees.
Silicon heptaoxide gradually deposits in plant cells, but destroys the plant's cell morphology.
Hundreds of millions of years later, what was outside was a desert, but a vast forest dominated by coniferous forests.
This place is sparsely populated, and the southern part is a desert area stretching as far as the eye can see.
Except for those two national treasures, there are not many wooden carvings in that temple, and every one of them is a national treasure.
The place has gone through great changes, and the girl's name on the towering tree has turned into a gem.
Before cooling, due to the same formation conditions and temperatures, gemstones of the same color and texture are formed.
For example, the small batch of petrified wood exported from China comes from the southern desert of the American continent.
