Craftsman Buddha Statue
Craftsmen had a rich performance and inheritance in the making of Buddha statues. In the traditional Buddha statue making, there were people like the Tudan Ciren family who had made Buddha statues for generations. They adhered to the concept of not making Buddha statues for money. You Guorong, known as Fa Rong Jushi, was born in Luoyuan, Fuzhou. He studied art at the Academy of Fine Arts of Fujian Normal University. He studied under Mr. Zheng Fu, a famous sculptor from a famous family, for many years. He was good at the creation of Buddha statues. His style was mainly Buddha statues, Guanyin statues, and Tibetan statues. He drew on traditional carving techniques. His works won awards in various competitions. His creation process was full of a deep understanding of the meaning of Buddha statues. For example, when he created Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he consulted materials and felt the compassion of Bodhisattva to save all living beings. Chen Guoyong was born in Putian, Fujian Province, where woodcarving was popular. His grandfather and father were woodcarving masters. He had been connected to Buddha statues since childhood. He continued to explore the techniques of making Buddha statues, from traditional wood carving and clay sculpture to the later focused on the Buddha statue. He integrated the techniques of bodiless lacquer ware, Putian traditional wood carving, traditional clay sculpture and Western sculpture into one, creating a Buddha statue with both traditional oriental charm and modern aesthetics. He also made innovation in the Buddha statue making process, such as improving the "external stripping method" and so on. In addition, different craftsmen had their own characteristics in the material selection, shape, and craftsmanship details of the Buddha statue. For example, some used fragrant camphor as raw material and combined with traditional mineral color craftsmanship to make Buddha statues, while others used Laoshan sandalwood to make Buddha statues, and carefully carved the details such as the opening of the Buddha statue and the pleats of the clothes, showing superb craftsmanship. There were also many craftsmen who participated in the carving of large-scale cliff stone statues such as the Leshan Giant Buddha. After many years, they completed great works.

Prince Buddha Statue
The Crown Prince Buddha Statue referred to the image of the Buddha statue depicting the story of the Crown Prince sacrificing himself to feed a tiger. It could be understood that the story of the Crown Prince sacrificing himself to feed the tiger was a story that advised people to worship Buddha. In it, the Crown Prince was willing to sacrifice his own body to save the hungry mother tiger and cubs. This story was common in Buddhist art, but it was usually depicted simply and directly, emphasizing the bloody scene of eating. However, there were some murals that displayed the determination and responsibility of the Crown Prince in a more touching way. Therefore, it could be speculated that the Buddha statue of the Crown Prince might be an art form depicting the story of the Crown Prince sacrificing himself to feed the tiger, but the specific image description and style needed further information to confirm.
Sanqing Buddha Statue
The Three Pure Buddhas were not symbols of Buddhism, but the highest gods of Taoism. The Three Pure Ones referred to the three gods in Taoism, namely Heavenly Lord Yuanshi, Heavenly Lord Lingbao, and Heavenly Lord Dao De. These statues were usually worshiped in the Three Pristines Hall of the Taoist temple. The Heavenly Lord Yuanshi held a spiritual pearl, which symbolized the state before the world was opened; the Heavenly Lord Lingbao held a jade light Ruyi, which represented the supreme virtue of the Jade Emperor; the Heavenly Lord Dao De held a fan of the Yin and Yang Mirror, which symbolized the evolution of the world and the division of Yin and Yang. The order in which these statues were placed was fixed. Heavenly Lord Yuanshi was in the center, while Heavenly Lord Lingbao and Heavenly Lord Dao De were on the left and right. The image of the Three Pure Buddhas was different from the Buddha in Buddhism. The Buddha was usually depicted wearing a golden kasaya and holding golden Buddha beads. This reflected the different interpretation and expression of gods in Taoism and Buddhism.
The Buddha statue is gilded
The gilding of Buddha statues was an ancient technique. It appropriately utilized the decorative advantages of the real gold foil. It could not only protect the bottom of the Buddha statue, but also increase the dignity and mystery of the Buddha statue with the help of the "treasure qi" of the gold foil that had not faded for hundreds of years and people's admiration for the color of real gold. In many places, such as Myanmar, most Buddha statues were not made of pure gold. Instead, they were made of copper, stone, or wood with gold on them. Some were painted with gold paint (the main component was copper powder instead of gold). Buddhists in Myanmar were very enthusiastic about gilding. In temples with strong incense, traces of gilding could often be seen on the golden Buddha statues. Some believers bought gold foil and pasted it on themselves. For example, the small golden Buddha statues in the Punduo Temple on Lake Inlai in Myanmar are no longer distinguishable from their original shape because the residents keep putting gold on them. Take the Mahamuni Pagoda in Myanmar as an example. There was a bronze Buddha statue about four meters high. If you want to attach gold here, you need to first buy gold foil at the official sales point around the pagoda (2500 Kyat can buy a total of 5 gold leaves), and then wait in line to attach gold (women cannot attach gold, but can give the gold foil to others). When attaching the gold, he used a yellow paper lined with gold foil to press the gold foil directly onto the Buddha. Then, he took off the yellow paper. There was a "glue" similar to tung oil between the gold foil and the golden Buddha.(The thickest part of the gold foil on the Buddha was already more than 16 centimeters, which was the thickness of gold and black paint.) In China, there was a long history of gold engraving on wooden Buddha statues. It was originally used in the royal palace and imperial mausoleums, and later developed into gold engraving on Buddha statues and temples. The steps of the gilding process were roughly as follows: 1. Basic layer processing: First, the parts to be gilded shall be inlaid with paint ash to be dense, flat, smooth, and dust-free. 2. To make gold feet: also known as gold pad, choose high-quality wide paint, the paint head is a little heavier, use a special small paint brush to dip in the wide paint and carefully paint the parts to be gilded. Generally, it was appropriate to make the gold foot twice, but there were also three times, the purpose was to make the paint film plump and saturated. 3. Gold: When the gold feet are about to dry for the last time, carefully apply gold foil or aluminum foil on the gold feet. The degree of dryness of the gold feet was the key. The old gold foil and the gold feet would not stick well, and if it was too tender, the surface would be dry and the inside would not be dry. The operation must be quick and meticulous, and if you find any missing posts, you must immediately make up for it. 4. Gold coating: After the gold coating is dry, paint a layer of paint on it. The paint brush used for gold coating should be a small and soft paint brush. The painting method is the same as that of the paint coating. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting.

A gilded Buddha statue
The gilded Buddha statue was made by heating gold with mercury, melting it and smearing it on the surface of the copper Buddha statue. Then, it was returned to its original state at high temperature, resulting in a copper Buddha statue with gold. In Buddhist culture, gilding Buddha statues had many special meanings: 1. ** Respect and Respect **: Through gilding, the Buddha statue is plated with gold or golden materials to show the nobleness and nobility of the Buddha. Buddhists regarded Buddha as the embodiment of great wisdom and kindness, so the gilded Buddha statue reflected the highest respect and worship for Buddha. 2. ** Solemn and Beautiful **: The gilded Buddha statue shines with a dazzling golden light, making it even more solemn and beautiful. Its golden luster gives people a noble and pure feeling, making people admire and praise it. 3. ** Control Desires **: Buddha taught all beings to transcend desire and greed and pursue inner peace and release. The golden Buddha statue was dazzling, reminding people to abandon greed and stay away from the pursuit of material things. 4. [Accumulate Merit Points: The gilded Buddha statues will often receive more offerings and worship. The offerings will offer incense, flowers, candles, offerings, and so on.] Buddhists believe that offering Buddha statues can accumulate merit and bring blessings and good results. For example, the gilded Buddha from the Qianlong period collected by Ma Weidu had a history of more than 250 years. This Buddha statue had never been opened and was well-preserved. Many details could be seen on its body, such as the red lines on its eyelids, the red gauze on its lips, the blue veins on its hair, and so on. Because the bronze statue of the gilded Buddha statue was easily deformed, and the price of the opened and unopened was different, Ma Weidu regarded it as a treasure. He rarely touched it directly with his hands, and he was very careful when he occasionally took it out to admire. There was also the Ming Yongle Sakyamuni statue. It was the largest and best-preserved gilded Buddha statue in the world. It was also one of the largest and most meticulously crafted bronze statues in the early Ming Dynasty in the early 15th century. It had green hair, gilded pearls on the top, a round face, white hair on the forehead, and trimmed eyebrows. The novel " Gilded Palm " is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

The offering of the Buddha statue
As for the worship of the Buddha statue, the following are some key points: 1. ** Consecration Position **: - He should choose a clean and quiet place. If the Buddha was worshipped at home, it was not very suitable to worship the Buddha because the bedroom was mostly private and there was a place for private clothes. However, if the family's conditions were limited, it could be placed for a short period of time. If there were conditions, it was necessary to find a better place for the Buddha. At the same time, Buddha must be placed in a high position, because according to traditional knowledge, Buddha was in heaven. This way, Buddha could look at the overall situation and bring good fortune and health to the family. Moreover, the Buddha statue could not be placed behind the window, but it could face the door and window. It could not face the bathroom, kitchen or directly face one's own bedroom. It should not be placed next to or on appliances such as refrigerator, heat sink, audio, television, air conditioner, etc. Because these appliances have electromagnetic waves and sound, there is interference, it is not a quiet place. If there is a beam in the room, it is not suitable to place the Buddha statue. 2. ** Offered Requirement **: - The offerings were usually vegetarian, such as flowers, fresh fruits and vegetables. They had to be strictly vegetarian. They could not be big fish or meat, nor could they offer food with a special smell, such as durian. When choosing fruits, you can choose fresh and fragrant fruits such as apples, oranges, grapes, etc. Before offering, you have to wash them and change them every day. If there were flowers placed, they had to be changed every day. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to Buddha if they emitted a special smell. On the Christmas Day of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas or the Day of Enlightenment, it was fine to offer only vegetarian dishes and steamed buns, but wine, meat, and meat dishes were absolutely not allowed to be offered in front of the Buddha, and round treasures and paper money were not allowed to be burned in front of the Buddha. 3. ** Attitudes **: - One must have a devout attitude and worship sincerely. One must not be casual. One must treat Buddha sincerely and treat serving Buddha as a serious matter rather than a child's play. Only by treating Buddha sincerely can one be called by God and truly accumulate blessings. It should be noted that modern people should advocate science. Worshipping Buddha was more of an act in religious culture, and what really guaranteed life was one's own positive efforts and positive values. " Shen Mingri " is equally exciting.
