There is a secret room hidden in the chest of Leshan Giant Buddha. Why do archaeologists claim that there is no treasure in it?

In fact, the treasure cave in the chest of Leshan Giant Buddha was discovered by workers when it was restored after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are also legends of the treasure cave in the local area, so people always thought it was the entrance to the legendary underground palace. However, after exploration, it was found that the cave had been opened many times, leaving only some ironware and a stone tablet, which was still of certain value. It was later proved that this stone tablet belonged to the Song Dynasty.

The history and reason of the construction of Leshan Giant Buddha: Ancient Leshan is located at the intersection of Minjiang River, Qingyi River and Dadu River, so the water here is fast and unpredictable, causing many ships to sink. In order to reduce the water potential and benefit all living beings, Master Haitong initiated the construction of Leshan Giant Buddha and recruited manpower and material resources to repair it. Due to financial problems and Anshi Rebellion, the construction of Leshan Giant Buddha was once stopped, and it took 90 years to be finally completed.

Legend of the Treasure Cave: When the Giant Buddha was dug, the then Emperor Li Longji attached great importance to this project, and even sent a Royal Guards to the construction site. The underground palace and inner chamber built below contained many Buddhist secret treasures. In fact, this statement is mostly folklore, and some official documents also vaguely mention this matter.

Modern exploration found that according to Huang and Luo Hengheng, who were responsible for restoring Leshan Giant Buddha after the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a closed hidden hole in the chest of Leshan Giant Buddha. When the workers opened the hole, they saw that it was full of scrap iron, old lead skin, bricks and so on. And the stone of fengmen is actually a chronicle of the reconstruction of Tianning Pavilion in Song Dynasty, which was later destroyed.

Mystery: It is said that some researchers explored Leshan Giant Buddha in those years, but the results were not made public, so people began to believe what they called the treasure cave.
