Qianxiangsi stone sculpture group, the Sixth Batch of key cultural relicsprotection units in China, is located in the north of Lianhe village, GuanzhuangTown, the eastern foot of Pan mountain in Jixian County. The stone sculptures inQianxiang temple are of great historical, artistic and scientific value,providing precious material for the study of Buddhist Archaeology andtraditional line carving techniques in Liao Dynasty.
It is understood that Panshan Qianxiang temple, also known as youtangtemple, is one of the famous Panshan temples in Jizhou during the Tang and Liaodynasties. It was destroyed by gunfire during the Anti Japanese War and has anexisting site. According to the Ming Dynasty's preface to the inscriptions onthe founding of the lecture hall of Panshan youtang temple, it is said that fromthe past, a venerable man came from afar with his staff. Suddenly, he saw athousand monks washing bowls beside the Chengquan pool under the rocks, whichdisappeared in a short time. The venerable built a temple here and engravedthousands of Buddha statues on the hillside rocks. Qianxiang temple stone Buddhais the largest group of Liao Dynasty stone Buddha found in China so far. So far,a total of 535 stone Buddhist statues, 1 relief statue and 5 relics have beenfound.
The statues are mainly distributed on the large boulders or relatively flatcliffs around the site of Qianxiang temple. They are all carved by lines. Thecarving techniques and style show a unique folk traditional craft charm, withstrong local characteristics. Sakyamuni Buddha, Tathagata Buddha, pharmacistBuddha, Maitreya Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva and dizang Bodhisattva can beidentified in the statues. The statues are divided into standing posture,sitting posture, lying posture and so on. It can be inferred from the hair bunstyle, facial features and clothing patterns of the statues that they werepublished in the Liao Dynasty, and they were all published spontaneously by thepeople. There is a stone cave under the rocks on the north slope, which iscalled wuliangshou cave. The cave is 4 meters deep, 2.2 meters high and 1.5meters wide. The four characters "wuliangshoufo" are first printed outside thecave. On the north wall of the cave, there is a relief statue of wuliangshoufo,which is 1.98 meters high. The engraving age is unknown. According to experts,this is the only remaining grotto Buddha statue in Tianjin.
The cultural relics department has strengthened the cultural relicsprotection of the stone Buddha group in Qianxiang temple. It has carried outmany "pull net" surveys in the area of four square kilometers around the site,comprehensively extracted the ontology information of the stone Buddha, mappedthe plan of one thousandth of the stone Buddha group, investigated thegeological environment, geological landforms, diseases and other aspects of thestone Buddha group, and is formulating the protection plan.
