About Piludong
Its Water-Moon Guanyin sits sideways with a raised leg, a relaxed pose that makes the figure especially expressive. A second focus is the narrative relief of Liu Benzun, where text and carved episodes work together. The carvings reward slow looking at gesture, clothing and the arrangement of figures inside each niche, rather than a quick circuit based only on their age.
What to look for
- Water-Moon Guanyin has a side-seated posture and raised leg, framed within the rock niche.
- The Liu Benzun relief combines carved narrative scenes with inscriptions.
