In addition to Xiaoxitian, Changzhi's Guanyin Hall also has hanging sculptures. ✨History of Guanyin Hall ⚪Built in the 10th year of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1582), it has a history of hundreds of years. It is one of the four well-preserved hanging sculptures from the Ming Dynasty in China. ⚪It combines Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, with a focus on Guanyin. The hall is less than 50 square meters, with nearly 500 statues, the main statues being Guanyin, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra. ⚪The four walls are decorated with hanging sculptures of the Eighteen Arhats, the Twelve Perfected Beings, the Twenty-Four Heavens, and many Bodhisattvas, Heavenly Kings, warriors, secular donors, stories of the Buddha, heavenly palaces, and colorful auspicious clouds. The details are extremely rich, making it a representative work of secularization of Ming Dynasty statues.
