There are 1051 Luoji on the top of the Buddha. At that time, when it was repaired in 1962, the Luoji on the top of the Buddha was numbered with chalk. From a distance, it can be seen that the Luoji is integrated with the head. But in fact, the Luoji of the Buddha is inlaid one by one with stones. There is an obvious mosaic crack at the root of a single Luoji, Later, three pieces of Luoji stones were found in the concave part of the Buddha's right leg
2、 Wood binaural
There is a 25 cm hole in the inner side of the root of the ear of the Great Buddha. It is said that a lot of debris was taken out at that time. After a closer look, it turned out that it was rotten wood. Later, it was inferred that wood was used in the construction of the Tang Dynasty. In Wu Chuanlu, Fan Chengda of the Southern Song Dynasty once said: "the size of the Buddha statues is extremely large, and the two ears are still made of wood."
