The eastern Buddha is called the Buddha because it sets the great Buddha statue of our country and the world, and condenses the famous Buddha statues in each country.
At present, in China and southeast Asia and even the world, the group of Buddha statues are small, including yungang grottoes and dunhuang grottoes, which have not achieved such scale and consistency.
Eight meters high four major Kings of sculpture is among the highest in the world with the theme of the Buddha carved stone, story large span, wide range of subjects, is by far the world's longest, reached more than 300 meters, the cave by Buddha is one of the world cave by one of the largest statue of Buddha.
Undoubtedly, the buddhist art project in dongfang Buddha's cave is worthy of a world-class buddhist temple.

Once in, it was like entering the underground palace of buddhist art.
The cave is filled with smoke, magnificent, like a fairyland.
On the right are eight hundred luohan, in the middle is the peacock king, the Buddha's body and various generations of monks;
On the left, the buddhist legend mainly shows the two great geographic systems of Buddhism introduced into China: one is Tibetan Buddhism, from India to Tibet to sichuan.
The other is the northern Buddha, which was introduced through the maritime silk road, from Cambodia, myanmar, yunnan and xichang to leshan.

In conception, there is continuity, narrative and story.
Miss yuan at the time of conception to keep the content and subject matter of traditional, but the art form and technique using modern forms, and proceed from the previous old rigid mechanical way (flat, arranging type), Buddha statues all over the new atmosphere and environment, being in a novel art space, make the whole modelling active vivid rise.
Happy luo han, meditation luo han...
All of the rohan can be called by name, maintaining the fluctuation in the sculpture language, making their sense of space and three-dimensional feeling stronger.
It breaks the tradition formally, and inherits traditional ideas in content.
This is the basic creation idea of the eastern Buddha, because once the content is broken, it becomes a myth.

And Renaissance Italian artist Michelangelo inheritance of ancient Greek humanism in his works, as thousands of Buddha cave tradition of also is in the creation, and broke through the traditional forms of bondage, combining with the experience and method of western sculpture, transcend time and space to create the grand Buddha.
From the road map of Buddhism south and north, it is more expressive of modern sculpture in art.

The whole structure of these two routes ends in a spiral.
Basically close to the round carving, there are mountains and water, some people have props, from beginning to end, about six meters tall, fifty meters long, color, no water seam.
Down again, after more than ten meters, there is a tunnel under wear, it is a statue of sitting Buddha, represent the state of the leshan giant Buddha, at the same time, the modelling of enriched the leshan giant Buddha, YiWen, modelling is more bright, more strong artistic appeal.
The whole sitting Buddha is dignified and exquisite, from digging hole, cutting stone to shaping shape took a long period of time.
The face of the Buddha is very vivid, the sky is full, the bridge of the nose is taller, the brow of the nose, two ears hang shoulders, the sitting posture is slightly chest, if thoughtful, stable.
This is the general image law of the Buddha.
To the left, the four Kings of heaven are basically done according to the traditional pattern.
The four great heavenly Kings had been turned back to back, and had been replaced by two rows.
First of all, wei, he was a judge in heaven;
Then he laughed and laughed at the visitors. He held his hand in his pocket, and his face was like a pocket, so he was also called a cloth bag monk...
The four Kings are standing positions, holding the instruments, and the general temple is filled with sitting positions.
Actually standing posture is more appropriate for the viewer.
Statues from the side, forward 30 ° to 45 °.
Because of the perspective, the only way to achieve the most comfortable visual effect is to make it upright in the eyes of the visitors, which is a summary of the ancient stone carving experience.
