We just learned about the Tang Dynasty Tomb Figures of Liu Tingxun.
Another work of ancient Chinese art is the Leshan Giant Buddha.
This is a statue of Buddha over 230 feet tall, built around 713 AD.
It was carved out of a cliff face made of red sandtones.
This is the largest stone statue of Buddha in the world, and when it was built it was the largest statue in the world.
The statue has pipes on the inside of the body, to help drain water when it rains so that the water doesn't damage the statue over the hundreds of years.
