Under the oppression of ancient feudal rituals, many lovers are difficult to become dependents, so what should I do? It is easy to do! When you go to the statue of the Dasheng of Sizhou, dig a little soil behind his head and secretly sprinkle on the other party. The other party will change his mind. Therefore, the back of the statue of Sizhou Dasheng in many places is often hollowed out and needs to be repaired frequently.

About four years ago, the author bought a bronze man from a good friend in Shandong. After getting started, I felt that the shape was very special. I thought it was a new variety of copper people. Later, with friends, Lao Zhao, Liu Yuan and others reminded, they knew that this non -bronze man was "Sheng Sheng".

This image is "wearing a monk, wearing a hood, holding a net bottle, a graceful body, a kind look", which is very similar to the image of the Sangha Da Sheng on the money and stone carvings.
