[Di Jinlong Stone Making Thought Image]

Di Jinlong Stone Making Thought Image, the third year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (545), has a residual height of 24 cm and a width of 20 cm
The whole bodhisattva’s upper body is missing. The left hand pinches a corner of the skirt at the right ankle, and the skirt in front of the seat makes complex wrinkles. The bodhisattva sat on the round seat of silk, and there was a flat lotus platform under the seat. The bodhisattva’s cloth hung on both sides of the lotus covering platform and dragged the ground, with the end stretched forward. A platform is set aside on the front of the rectangular base. The center of the front is carved with a shallow sculpture of the earth god with half body protruding from the lotus cover. Both hands are raised above the head to lift the Boshan stove. The two sides of the earth god are lions squatting sideways. There is a monk on the outside of the lion. The left monk carved the title “Picchu Baolin” on the inside of his body, and the right monk carved the title “Picchu Baolin” on the inside of his body. The text of the vow is engraved on the right and back sides of the base. It is “the third year of the reign of Wu Ding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the age of which was declared on the 18th day of the seventh lunar month of March of the seventh lunar month of the seventh lunar month of the seventh lunar month of the seventh lunar month of the seventh lunar month, and the golden dragon in Shangquyang City, the royal family, the deceased parents, and the family of the deceased children, and the white jade crown prince’s thought area. May the father and mother of the kingdom Yongkang, the father and mother of the past, the dead children and the uncleanness from the truth, and Maitreya hold the third meeting. May everything in the beginning of the song, including life, be the same as that in Yubizejin.”<br
