The Pilu Cave carved in Anyue stone really makes me feel sad.

Among the many scenic spots of Anyue Stone Carvings Pilu Cave really makes me feel uneasy Whether it is Liu Benzun's Ten Practices Or Water Moon Guanyin Even the statues of the donors are full of ingenuity. Although the entire scenic area is not large But there are surprises everywhere However, Pilu Cave has escaped the erosion of time. Avoided large-scale man-made destruction Also "avoided" the opportunity to apply for World Heritage It is only about 20 kilometers away from Dazu I can't help but sigh Man Proposes, God Disposes Pilu Cave Highlights🌈 1️⃣ Liu Benzun's Ten Practice Diagrams It took a total of 30 years to carve the statue in the niche. Liu Benzun was an accomplished monk in Sichuan and Chongqing at that time. He has many followers, including Zhao Zhifeng, the chief designer of the Baoding Mountain Stone Carvings in Dazu, who is also his apprentice. The statue in this niche tells the process and method of his practice. 2️⃣ Water Moon Guanyin This niche of Water Moon Guanyin is a masterpiece of Northern Song Dynasty stone carving, both in terms of design and carving technique. Guanyin's face appears different when viewed from different directions: a young girl (looking up from close), a middle-aged woman (looking straight in the middle), an elderly woman (looking from a distance), a man (looking from the right side of Guanyin), and a woman (looking from the left side of Guanyin). 3️⃣ Human statues of donors. In the lower part of the Thousand Buddha Caves, there are more than 300 densely carved human statues of donors. Different shapes and postures. Some are holding flowers, some are meditating, and some are taking a nap. The Sichuan people's sense of relaxation is embodied in that moment. Things to note when visiting ⚠️ There is no entrance fee here now, and there is no parking fee. The tour fee is 60 yuan per show. There are some cultural and creative products such as postcards available for purchase. This is the place with the strongest scenic spot attributes among the many stone carvings in Anyue.
