Qixia Mountain found "flying eastward". What does "flying east" mean?

300 198: Hello ~!

Dongfeitian refers to a flying Buddha statue in a grotto found in Qixia Mountain.

This grotto is similar to Dunhuang grottoes, in which a flying Buddha statue was found. So it's called Dongfeitian.

Tian Fei is the incarnation of Manna Shiva and Kinnara in Buddhism. Gan Lvpo, literally translated as the God of Songs, Kinnara, literally translated as the God of Music. They used to be a pair of entertainment gods and dance gods in ancient Indian mythology, and were later absorbed by Buddhism as one of the gods of Tianlong Babu. The task of the nectar girl is to send out fragrance in the Buddhist country, present flowers and treasures to the Buddha, live among the flowers and fly in the heavenly palace. Kinnara's task is to play music, dance and dance in Buddhism, but he can't fly in the clouds. Later, Manna and Kinnara mixed, regardless of gender and function, and became one flying thing. Now, those who played music in the early days are called "Yue Ji in Tiangong", and those who later sang and danced with musical instruments are called "Yue Ji in Tian Fei". Tian Fei comes from India, inspired by the feathered man in China's traditional culture, and integrated into China's traditional culture, further stretching and raising the ribbon on Tian Fei's body. At the same time, he takes his body as a posture of riding against the wind, and holds up moire patterns under the characters to make the feeling of flying stronger. Therefore, China's flying art can fly higher, farther and easier than any winged flight in the West, India or Central Asia.
