Guanyin sword in Laohuangli

Guanyin Bodhisattva is wonderful and difficult to admire, pure and solemn. Also known as the tube bodhisattva. It is said that as long as everyone learns Guanyin, they can become people like Guanyin and spend all the hardships. Net transmission 1997, Nanhai Guanyin also appeared once. 1997 On September 29th, the opening ceremony of Guanyin in Nanhai was originally scheduled to start at 8 o'clock, but it was postponed for 15 minutes due to the sudden heavy rain. But just at the beginning of Buddhism, a light suddenly fell from the sky, and people saw Guanyin standing in the sky overlooking all beings.

The Journey to the West gives us the impression that Guanyin is a solemn female bodhisattva, but the actual bodhisattva looks like "a brave husband feels at ease". Actually, Journey to the West didn't lie to us. Before the Tang Dynasty, Guanyin had male and female faces, but since the Tang Dynasty, it was mostly female faces. There was a robbery in the western regions. Here are three princesses. The three princesses were arranged by the king to get married when they grew up. The first two princesses were obedient and married, but only the youngest daughter, Princess Miaoshan, refused. The king reduced her to a commoner and kicked her out of the palace.

Princess Miaoshan was driven away and went to Xiangshan to become a monk. By the time she finished her training, she had won eternal life, but her father was seriously ill and would soon die. When Princess Miaoshan knew about it, she became a monk to treat the old king. The prescription is to take her daughter's hands and eyes. The old king thought that if the eldest daughter and the second daughter were the most obedient, they would hand in their hands and eyes. However, this is not the case. The old king thought he was hopeless, and the monk said he could go to Xiangshan to ask the fairy for help. When the old king heard that there was salvation, he immediately sent someone to Xiangshan to find the fairy.

On the other hand, Princess Miaoshan changed back to her original appearance. When the people sent by the old king came, they handed over what they wanted. The old king didn't know until he ate it. When he went to Xiangshan, he found that he was eating the hands and eyes of Princess Miaoshan. He was deeply moved. He knelt on the ground and prayed to God to restore Princess Secondsun's hands and eyes. God was also moved by Princess Secondsun's filial piety and gave her thousands of hands and eyes. After the story of Princess Miaoshan spread, Guanyin mostly appeared as a female image.

There is a famous Guanyin Mountain in Zhangmutou Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, with an area of 18 square kilometers. Guanyin statue is mostly made of high-quality basalt granite and carved by hand. It is the largest granite Guanyin statue in the world. Guanyin statue in Dongguan took three years to complete. Since it was approved in 2005, it has developed into a 4A scenic spot in 15 years, attracting many tourists.

At the entrance of Guanyin Mountain, there is a couplet written by Zou Jihai, president of Guangdong Couplets Association, but this couplet is different, only the upper couplet has no lower couplet, because Zou Jihai has a small idea to promote couplet culture. In recent five years, the prize collection in the second part has increased from 5,000 to 20,000, with 654.38+million participants at home and abroad, and the online click-through rate is as high as 70 million, but no one can beat it. In order to get Guanyinshan to let Xiti go offline as soon as possible, during the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, Mr. Huang Ganbo, the chairman of Guanyinshan, decided to raise the bonus again, and 700,000 yuan was levied offline. The deadline is the end of this year.

"1000 yuan is hard to buy, but I am very happy." This practice of Guanyinshan not only brought gimmicks to the scenic spot, but also attracted more tourists to watch it, and also combined with couplets to promote traditional culture, making money without losing money. However, the bottom line is not so good. The bottom line should not only combine Guanyin Mountain in the scenic spot, but also combine noun-to-noun and verb-to-verb. This is a great test for the cultural level of the participants. 700 thousand yuan is already in front of you. Who can afford it?
