Old clock of yellow calendar

Friends who like to travel know that Wutai Mountain has many peaks, such as the largest Buddha clock. On the Wutaishan public building, which cost 3 million yuan, a bronze ghost clock was hung during the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, with an actual weight of 9990.5 Jin. So why is it that only half a A Jin is needed to reach 654.38+00,000 Jin? Today, Bian Xiao will tell you why it won't lead to 65,438+00,000 Jin.

The ghost clock of Wutai Mountain is the largest Buddha clock in the world. It hangs on the bell tower of Xiantong Temple. It is a bronze clock cast in the five years of Ming Dynasty orthodoxy. Its height is 1.93 meters, its maximum diameter is 1.8 meters, its back is 0. 1 meter, its circumference is 5.2 meters, its faucet is 0.69 meters high, and its total height is 2.62 meters ... One week, there were four holes in the bottom of the mansion.

The reason why the ghost clock was made of 9999.5 Jin instead of casting it into 1 000 Jin is said to avoid the word "Long live". In ancient times, taboo, taking names or taking the names of some objects could not be related to the emperor, otherwise a mass annihilation would occur. Because many people were afraid of it in ancient times, the emperor copied it with a door full of people. ? So you can see this clock when you travel to Wutai Mountain. This clock witnessed the development of Buddhism in China. It is a microcosm of the Buddhist culture in Wutai Mountain and a living specimen for studying the Buddhist culture in northern China. Therefore, it has extremely rich Buddhist cultural connotation and extremely high historical, scientific and artistic value.
