The ‘One Reed Crossing’ Dharma Grotto Light and Shadow Art Museum is located on Mufu Mountain in Nanjing. In 2016, during the restoration period of the Mufu Mountain quarry, Professor Sun Jiabin designed more than a hundred Dharma statues of various shapes, and restored and rebuilt the Zen culture-themed ‘Hundred Postures of Dharma’ grotto. In 2023, created by many artists, through immersive light and shadow art, the ‘Hundred Changes of Dharma’ is presented in the Hundred Postures of Dharma grotto, reproducing the wonder and grand scene of ‘crossing the river on a reed’. The light and shadow art of ‘One Reed Crossing’ inherits the visual effects of oriental aesthetics. Relying on the legendary story of Dharma and combining the spatial form of a thousand-square-meter cave, it creatively uses light and shadow technologies such as 3D Mapping, AIGC, and Arc GIS topology. With ‘crossing’ as the experience clue, it innovatively creates eight artistic ‘light’ spaces. See the legendary light and shadow in the light of enlightenment, appreciate the giant Dharma statue in the blazing light, see the gushing Zhuoxi spring in the dust-washing light, taste the other shore’s realm in the wall-gazing light, interact with time and space in the awakening light, sigh at the boundless starry river in the primordial light, feel the swift passage of time in the epochal light, and cross the boundless world in the light of wisdom. Wandering in it, by the Yangtze River and in Mufu Mountain, watch a legendary story about Dharma, enjoy an amazing feast of Six Dynasties aesthetics that stuns time, and embark on a journey of grotto light and shadow art that traverses thousands of years of time and space.
