Xiaoxitian: A stunning hanging sculpture masterpiece.

Xiaoxitian became popular because of the black Sun Wukong. You have to see it in person to truly feel the shock! . 💁🏻‍♀️Some knowledge from the tour guide ✔️ The largest hanging sculpture is two or three meters high, and the smallest is only the size of a thumb. The paintings are all painted with natural gemstone powder, so they have not faded at all in nearly 400 years. ✔️ The sculptures are all slightly tilted forward, and important parts are covered with gold foil that is 1/12 the thickness of a piece of paper. The craftsmanship is exquisite. ✔️ The main content of the sculptures: Layer upon layer, a fascinating scene of a fairy palace and Buddhist kingdom. 🔺Front: Five interconnected niches, with Buddhas such as Bhaisajyaguru, Amitabha, Shakyamuni, Vairocana, and Maitreya sitting on lotus platforms, and ten disciples standing on both sides.
🔺South wall: Buddhist stories such as the Three Saints of the Four Directions and the Four Heavenly Kings.
🔺North wall: The 33 layers of the Trayastrimsa Heaven on Mount Sumeru, the story of the Buddha, and the legend of Shakyamuni.
🔺Main beam: Eight Vajras. 🔺Wall between beams: The magnificent "Pure Land." . ▫️▫️▫️▫️ ⓘ ⓝ ⓕ ⓞ ▫️▫️▫️▫️ 🔖Name: Xiaoxitian, Xixian County 🈺️Hours: Summer 7:30–17:30, Winter 08:00–17:00 💰Ticket: 35 💁🏻‍♀️Tip: It is best to go in the morning, as the light can shine into the main hall, making it easier to view.
