The public found Qianfo Hill secret: the mountain road contour resembles a sitting Buddha.
Foshan has been famous for a large number of stone carvings, but you may not know that from the GPS satellite map, the mountain road in Qianfo Hill is like a giant statue of a cross legged meditation Buddha! A Ji'nan citizen who is keen on geographical research has discovered this phenomenon. After more than a year's verification, he gradually affirmed his view. Recently, he reflected the matter through the times QQ. Is
nature's craftsmanship or artificially farfetched? In May 25th, reporters contacted Li Zhaohai, a citizen.
times Q friend: "I found the great secret of Qianfo Hill"
Li Zhaohai, who lives in Ji'nan, has been studying Ji'nan's geography and culture in his spare time for many years. "Qianfo Hill giant sitting Buddha spectacle" was discovered by chance when he consulted the GPS satellite positioning map. After more than a year's textual research, he even strengthened his view.
"Qianfo Hill itself is a great Buddha". This is Li Zhaohai's position on this spectacle. "The mountain roads in Qianfo Hill form this huge statue of Buddha, which can not be seen without aerial photography. The Buddha head faces northwest, facing east, facing the swallow mountain.
the statues of Buddha statues are solemn, which truly reflects the fact that "Buddha is a mountain and a mountain is a realm of Buddha". Pointing to the GPS satellite map, Li Zhaohai explained his point of view to reporters step by step. "The mouth of the Buddha is the front door of the Qianfo Hill scenic area. The Buddha's chest is the beunon scenic spot in the scenic area, and the belly of the Buddha is the Xingguo Zen temple." "You see, the Buddha's right leg of the mountain road rises and the left leg drops naturally. The right hand is placed on the right leg, holding the Xingguo Zen temple. The left hand is placed on the left leg, holding the Golden Buddha in the scenic spot of Maitreya Sheng Yuan. He said.
Li Zhaohai said that the overall outline of Qianfo Hill and the ring road form the outline of the statue of the Buddha, and the forest mountain road forms the shape of the various parts of the Buddha's body. Simply looking at the geographical boundaries of the Qianfo Hill scenic area, this discovery is not very obvious, but the forest mountain road in Qianfo Hill is like a line, drawing the outline of the statue of the Buddha. Li Zhaohai exclaimed, "if this Buddha is naturally formed, we can only exclamation the skillful nature of the day work. If it is built by people, we should admire the great and clever design of the people. At present, there are no comparable types of Buddhas in the world.
reporter survey: the outline of the map is a bit like
when looking up the satellite map on the network, the reporter found that there were several satellite maps of Qianfo Hill from 2001 to 2010. Among them, the satellite map taken in 2005 is the most clear.
according to this map (Figure 1), the reporter sees that the dark part is the overall outline of Qianfo Hill. The inside of the lines is the mountain road in Qianfo Hill, the outline of the shape, just like a person's cross legged meditation, but the head is not very obvious. Li Zhaohai showed his research to the reporter. He made a rough outline of this unadornable GPS map and extended it to "restore" a man's head. On the map that has been processed, a giant Buddha is coming out very vividly (Fig. 2).
reporter found that the position of Li Zhaohai's sketch of the head of the Buddha is now not in the Qianfo Hill scenic area, but by a residential building between eleven roads through the ten road. Li Zhaohai said that the residential area was also part of Qianfo Hill. Last year, when he was searching for information, he found a picture of Qianfo Hill, which was taken early in the last century. According to this picture, the residential area where Buddha head was located was indeed a mountain forest.
later, the reporter transferred the satellite map from 2010 on the Internet. According to this picture, many of the Qianfo Hill mountain roads have been covered by vegetation. But after a closer look, the outline of the Buddha is still there.
Qianfo Hill Scenic Area Management Office responded:
"this discovery is amazing"
May 26th afternoon, the reporter came to the Qianfo Hill scenic area management office. After seeing the picture provided by the reporters, the management office staff repeatedly said that this is the first time to see such an image.
"now the mountain is greening very well. If it is a picture taken in summer, I am afraid it is difficult to see all the mountain routes. In 2005, this picture should be taken in autumn and winter. The mountain road is very obvious. This can be seen as a sitting Buddha. " Mr. Qi, the head of the management department of the Qianfo Hill scenic area, said that Li Zhaohai's statement was very interesting. It was a new point of view, and the management department would study this view.
whether the mountain road is intentional construction, the management office said that in 80s of last century, the management office had built the mountain road. "But it is only a reinforcement and reconstruction of the old mountain roads. When it was built, it was not thought that the lines on the mountain roads would make such an interesting figure." Mr. Guo, director of the management office, told reporters that "the road on the mountain existed long ago, and it was hard to verify who built it at the earliest."
