The 108 Buddha statues look messy, but when you look carefully, you can feel that the placement of these Buddha statues seems to have profound meaning.
However, Yang Jing can't see what this position represents. After all, he knows the knowledge of Taoism, but he doesn't know much about Buddhism. For Buddhism, he only knows some superficial things, and the more profound things are not clear.
So Yang Jing can only feel the profound meaning of the placement of these Buddha statues. If you let him say one, two or three, he will be completely finished.
These Buddha statues have different shapes, but they are mainly shaped by Buddhist powers such as Sakyamuni, Guanyin, Manjusri, Puxian, heavenly king and Mudu. The size ranges from about 20 centimeters high to nearly one meter high.
Yang Jing grabbed a Buddha statue with a height of nearly 60cm at the outermost edge. The shape of this Buddha statue is a Bodhisattva. As soon as he started, Yang Jing felt heavy and immediately understood that this Buddha was the most popular gilded bronze Buddha in the Tang Dynasty.
Gilding is to synthesize gold and mercury into a gold mercury agent, apply it to the surface of copper ware, and then heat it to evaporate the mercury, so that the gold will adhere to the surface of the ware. Gilding, as the oldest gold inlaying method of metal artifacts in China, has a long history of more than 2000 years and unique technological skills. It is one of the brilliant achievements of ancient Chinese technology.
The movable Buddha statues, which are cast in copper or bronze and gilded on the surface, are commonly known as "gilded copper Buddha statues". In ancient China, this kind of Buddha statue was usually used by courts and temples.
Buddhism was introduced into China from the Han Dynasty. In the early stage, it was only regarded as a kind of immortal Taoism, which was not popular. After the Western Jin Dynasty, the society was turbulent, the war was continuous, and the people were unable to make a living. Therefore, the belief of Buddhism "transcending life and death and suffering, cutting off all troubles, and getting relief" was widely spread among the people. When the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di, Qiang and other ethnic minorities came to the Central Plains, their cultural traditions and Buddhism from the western regions were easier to identify with each other. Therefore, Buddhism grew rapidly during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and penetrated into all levels of society.
During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the first group of eminent monks appeared in China, who were strongly supported by the rulers of the Hu nationality. These eminent monks not only systematically translated a large number of Mahayana empty Buddhist scriptures, but also trained a generation of excellent scholars who built Chinese Buddhism, such as Seng Zhao and Zhu Daosheng. The earliest grotto temples such as Mogao Grottoes, Bingling Temple grottoes and Maijishan grottoes were excavated in this era, and the existing Buddhist statues began to appear at this time. At the same time, a large number of bronze gilded Buddhist statues and crafts also appeared.
The earliest gilded bronze Buddha statues were first seen in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. They were mostly called golden people in the early period of Buddhism. The Sixteen Kingdoms period developed with the rise of Buddhist temples, which were mostly supported in palaces or Buddhist temples, and flourished from the northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty.
During the Han Dynasty and the Sixteen Kingdoms period, the Buddha had a square face, a peaceful face and straight hair. The Buddha of this period was single, with a small scale.
In the Northern Dynasty, that is, after the Northern Wei Dynasty, the head of the Buddha statue was a bowl covering type, with a long face and thin, high nose and big ears, closed eyes and concentration, clear face, high bun, spiral, cassock and right shoulder. Some sit with their legs crossed and their palms facing up. The Buddha seat is either Xumi seat with low waist or quadruped square seat. Some have a head light, some have a backlight behind them, all sharp, with flame patterns around them. Another notable feature of the statues of the Northern Wei Dynasty is that the main Buddha is often flanked by one or two Bodhisattvas, mostly standing.
The bronze statue of Sui and Tang Dynasties has a lotus crown on its head, a round face, fat cheeks, a high bun, dressed in a monk's branch, a cassock, a pleated skirt under a wide dress, hanging on both feet. There is a double-layer quadruped high bed or a single-layer quadruped under the seat, and the item or backlight is in the shape of a thick lintel.
If we distinguish them carefully, the style of gilded copper Buddha statues in the Tang Dynasty is slightly different from that in the Sui Dynasty.
Most of the gilded bronze Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty have plump faces and spiral or water wave hairstyles. Compared with the Sui Dynasty, the meat bun is taller, with big ears drooping, solemn and kind. The body proportion is symmetrical, the structure is reasonable, the body is plump and full, the exposed chest muscles fluctuate and change, and the realism is strong.
Moreover, the gilded bronze Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty naturally stretch and have a strong sense of dynamics. There are shoulder style, right shoulder style and ribbon style, and more square collar drooping style. The material texture is soft and light, and the lines are smooth. The lower body pleats are hanging in front of the seat like a tablecloth, which has the characteristics of the times.
Finally, the pedestal of the gilded bronze Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty is mostly girdle type, with hexagonal, octagonal, round or flower shaped bottom. The key point is that most of the gilded bronze Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty are gilded red.
Just like the gilded bronze Buddha statue of Puxian Bodhisattva in his hand, the surface is slightly red, and the modeling style is very in line with the characteristics of the gilded copper Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty.
The most important thing is that because this Buddha has been staying in this tomb, unlike those gilded copper Buddha statues commonly seen in the market, I don't know how many years it has been spread outside and how many people's hands have passed through. Therefore, the appearance of this Buddha is excellent.
If it were not for the gilded bronze Buddha found here, Yang Jing would doubt that the Buddha is a new work of high imitation.
At present, the value of gilded copper Buddha statues is very high, especially in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Once they appear at the auction, they often become the last thing. The gilded bronze Buddha in my hand is so good. It was cast during the Wu and Zhou dynasties. Once it is taken out, it will definitely cause a sensation.
There are 107 gilded bronze Buddha statues like this Bodhisattva!
There is no doubt that with these exquisite gilded bronze Buddha statues, after their own private museum is opened, a gilded bronze Buddha exhibition hall of the Tang Dynasty is absolutely indispensable! Although so many gilded bronze Buddha statues of the Tang Dynasty are from the Wu and Zhou dynasties, they will definitely make those who love gilded bronze Buddha statues linger.
These are absolutely good things. No, take them all away!
Yang Jing knows very well that if there are no special circumstances, the things brought out from here can never see the light.
After all, according to Chinese law, everything here belongs to the state, and private people have no right to leave these treasures. Even entering here is a crime.
But Yang Jing is not worried. Who wants to have a big baby in his hand?
Yang Jing never thought of leaving the imperial seal in his own hands. Since the imperial seal could not be left, the state must be able to exchange the imperial seal for the remaining treasures. After all, these babies will not be taken abroad, but will always stay in Domestic Museums for external exhibition.
I worked hard to find the national jade seal for the country and use these treasures as a reward. Presumably, the country will not disagree.
