 At the foot of Mt. Qingyuan in the northern suburbs of Quanzhou there is a huge "Yuhua Rock", which was carved into a seated statue of the founder of Taoism, Lao Zi who has left hand on his knee, his right hand against a small table, his eyes looking straight forward and his beard flowing, in a leisurely and carefree manner. Five meters high, the statue is the biggest stone statue of Lao Zi in China.
The stone of Quanzhou has contributed much to the brilliance of the culture of religion in the city. |
