Linfen·Suspended Sculptures Ceiling!!!

There might never be such a vivid representation of the Three Thousand Worlds again. We often talk about the Three Thousand Worlds, but what exactly are they? Coming to Linfen, Shanxi, a place I had never heard of before, Xixian Xiaoxitian, Upper Hall of the Mahavira Hall, I saw the 'Three Thousand Worlds' in a concrete and intuitive way for the first time. In the Mahavira Hall of Xiaoxitian's Upper Hall, entering and looking up at the full hall of painted suspended sculptures, the visual impact is extremely strong. Dazzled by the images of various Buddha and deity palaces, my neck almost broke before I saw the end, only to find that such a suspended sculpture wonder created with an entire hall merely depicted a small world. In the late Ming Dynasty, Shanxi's iron-making technology was advanced, which allowed the use of a large iron wire system and clay to create a vast Buddhist suspended sculpture world. Only a monk like Dongming, who had ideas in his heart, met craftsmen who could realize them, could complete such a painted sculpture artwork. Before going, I heard people say there were no full hall suspended sculptures before Xiaoxitian, and there would be no full hall suspended sculptures after Xiaoxitian. At that time, I didn't understand, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I finally understood it should be so. It was also the most unexpected place in the entire southern Shanxi trip. Xiaoxitian
