In the middle of the painting is a lotus seat, on which to offer colorful relics, followed by a spiritual plaque, which reads "Shakyamuni Buddha's True Body Relic", on each side of which five disciples worship together, surrounded by smallpox, written with the name of the offering and utensils and the year and month. Since the model of the underground palace can only stand in the doorway and look out, the north wall is far away, and it is difficult to see without a line drawing.

Let's see. Due to the delay of the epidemic, the actual exhibition period was only two months, and it ended in early June, and friends who wanted to see it had to pay close attention. Later, the Exhibition of Famen Temple Cultural Relics of Dongguan City Museum will also start, and you can run to two cities to see the Tang and Song Dynasty Underground Palaces. This time I ran three exhibitions a day in Guanshen, and as a result, I was stabbed in the throat once in each place, because it took 48 hours to prove the nucleic acid when I went out of Guangzhou, so I stabbed three times before and after, and it was not easy to see a solo exhibition.
