According to Chen Huili, an associate researcher at the Dazu Rock Carving Research Institute Conservation Centre, environmental pollution has become a major obstacle to the protection of Avalokitesvara. While protecting the Avalokitesvara, it must also purify the surrounding environment.
The Avalokitesvara statue was built during the Southern Song Dynasty and is an important part of the Dazu moment. With a height of 7.7 meters and a width of 12.5 meters, the sarcophagus is sculpted on cliffs 15 to 30 meters high and has 830 hands. It is shaped like a peacock and is the world's largest immobile Avalokitesvara.
During 800 years of imaging, the damage to Dazu rock carvings was very serious. Especially in the last 20 or 30 years, with the acceleration of urbanization, industrial pollutants have begun to affect the protection of cultural relics. Chongqing is an old industrial area. The Dazu Rock Carving is in the acid rain zone of Guiyang and Chongqing. The acid rain erosion has further damaged the Avalokitesvara statue. Chen Huili said that the environment in which the Dazu Stone Carving Avalokitesvara is located is high temperature, high humidity and acidity. The current preservation environment cannot be compared with the preservation environment of the Song Dynasty. It can be said that in the Song Dynasty, its preservation environment was definitely much better.
The Chongqing Dazu Avalokitesvara restoration project started in 2008 and the entire restoration project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.
