White marble statue of the Great Universal Wisdom Victory Buddha

The White Marble Great Universal Wisdom Victory Buddha is a cultural relic protection unit of Zhengding County.

On May 10, 1995, it was designated as a county-level key cultural relic protection unit by the People's Government of Zhengding County.

Located approximately 200 meters south of Beibaidian Village in Quyangqiao Township, about 17 kilometers northwest of Zhengding County town, there stands an upright white marble stone statue, commonly referred to by local farmers as the "Self-Coming Buddha." The statue has a usnisa, wears a long skirt, the face is damaged, both arms are missing, and the halo is incomplete. The remaining height is 1.64 meters. It faces south and stands on a round inverted lotus base, which is integrated with the statue. Below it are two-tiered square stone bases, 0.3 meters and 0.4 meters high respectively. The upper tier is inscribed with texts, while the front of the lower tier features carvings of a wrathful deity and eight upright bodhisattvas. Each of the east and west sides is carved with four Buddhist celestial beings, and parts of the east, west, and north sides also contain inscriptions. The inscriptions on both tiers are intermittent and incomplete. Based on the fragmented inscriptions, as well as the style and attire of the statue, it is believed to date back to the Eastern Wei period of the Northern Dynasties. Around the year 2000, the statue and its pedestal were stolen.
