Guanyin, a stone carving with a history of thousands of years, is known as the "romantic Guanyin". Where is the Oriental Venus?

I know this. I saw it when I was traveling the year before last. Known as "romantic Guanyin", the place where Oriental Venus is located is Anyue County. And he also has a name called Zizhu Guanyin.

Anyue Cliff Grottoes are known as ancient cultural treasures, among which "Purple Bamboo Guanyin" is praised as "Venus of the East" by the British writer Ms. Han, and enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad. Zizhu Guanyin Land is located in Tazi Mountain, Shiyang Town, Anyue County, Sichuan Province, and is open to tourists all the year round.

The purple bamboo Guanyin sitting horizontally on the lotus platform subverts people's previous impression of Guanyin. She leaned back against the embossed purple bamboo and willow branches, wore a gorgeous crown, wore a short-sleeved gauze shirt, and bare her chest and elbows. The garland meandered down like a golden waterfall, with a green ring net hanging from her chest and abdomen, and a blue ribbon tied with an embroidered long skirt as thin as a Zen wing. The skirt pleats are elegant, natural and charming. Look at her beautiful barefoot, her right foot tilted, and her left foot stepped on the lotus. The phoenix eye looked down, as if watching the ripples in the water, revealing a leisurely and charming expression, just like a graceful, gentle and chic girl. According to the charm of the girl and the appearance of the goddess, the secular atmosphere is extremely strong. Therefore, people also call her Guanyin on tiptoe, Romantic Guanyin, Shuiyue Guanyin and "Venus of the East".

Its clear height is about three meters. Because it is backed by Zizhu, it is also called Zizhu Guanyin. It is a masterpiece carved in the Northern Song Dynasty, which should have happened thousands of years ago, but the color on the Purple Bamboo Guanyin is still so gorgeous and the expression is very realistic. You look at her today, and you feel that he is really in front of you.

Sadly, however, this grotto carving art treasure with unique national style is unnatural because the right palm was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Carola's ribbon to the right shoulder was also damaged by thieves, and the back neck was sawed several inches deep by thieves.
