The Tang and Song Dynasties were an important period for the formation and development of The Manjusri Monastery on Mount Wutai.At that time,with the prosperity of Buddhism,various kinds of Buddhist metal objects appeared in Mount Wutai,which were used in real life and in the imagination of believers.Their various shapes and exquisite workmanship are closely related to the de-velopment of metal smelting technology at that time.At the same time,the application of the metal objects in Mount Wutai also expresses the rich noble and everlasting Buddhist spirit and the strong political symbolic implication of protecting the regime.
