According to the scripture ‘Sutra on the Original Deeds’: As soon as the Buddha was born, he could speak and walk. He walked seven steps in each of the four directions of east, south, west, and north. With each step, a lotus flower bloomed on the ground. Pointing one finger to the sky and one finger to the ground, he said, ‘I am the honored one in heaven and on earth.’ At this time, two pools of water suddenly appeared in the garden, and nine huge dragons appeared in the sky, spouting water columns to bathe him. This story is very magical and evokes endless reveries. Even more难得的是, the large-scale musical dynamic group sculpture ‘Nine Dragons Bathing Ceremony, Flower Blooms to See the Buddha’ in Lingshan Scenic Area reproduces the magnificent scene in the story. In the Nine Dragons Bathing Ceremony Square, we can see a huge copper sculpture of a lotus flower in bud standing in front. The huge lotus flower is held up by four mighty strongmen. At the bottom, it is set off by a white circular marble pool. Nine flying dragons and eight donors with different shapes surround the huge pool.
