What Guanyin holds the vase in her left hand and the willow in her right hand?

Scenes such as flowing springs, rocks and vegetation described in this paper are constantly appearing in the sculpture system of Shuiyue Guanyin in China, which has far-reaching influence.

Another famous work of Shuiyue Guanyin is the tribute banner of Tang Dynasty collected by Southern Guanyin Compassion in freire Art Museum, which adopts the traditional Guanyin style. Guanyin is not sitting in a satisfactory position, but sitting on the lotus platform, holding a willow bottle, sitting in the full moon. The whole scene layout still continues the landscape image of Mount Luojia in Putuo.

According to legend, the earliest Shuiyue Guanyin painter was Zhou Fang (740-800) in the Tang Dynasty. In Volume 10 of Zhang Yanyuan's Famous Paintings of Past Dynasties, Zhou Fang painted a Shuiyue Guanyin in Shengguang Temple in Chang 'an. The Guanyin in the painting is surrounded by a full moon, surrounded by a bamboo forest, and the composition is very close to the previous painting. Unfortunately, this painting has been lost, but it is likely to be the basis for later painters or sculptors to create the image of Shuiyue Guanyin. Judging from Zhou Fang's paintings, Shuiyue Guanyin was popular in the Tang Dynasty in the middle of the eighth century BC.

After the Song Dynasty, Goddess Shuiyue Guanyin appeared.

Shuiyue Guanyin in the Tang Dynasty was a male figure with a beard on his face. After the Song Dynasty, Shuiyue Guanyin gradually appeared as a female image. In Yuan Dynasty, there was still a full moon, a lake, a willow bottle and a waterfall in the background of Shuiyue Guanyin in Yan Hui, but Guanyin was a dignified woman, wearing a robe and sitting gracefully. At this time, Shuiyue Guanyin also completely changed into the shape of female Guanyin.

Guanyin, a popular female goddess in China, is accompanied by a large number of efficacious legends, treasure scrolls or places of pilgrimage, which catalyzes the spread of faith. For example, Guanyin in white has a white scroll, and Princess Miaoshan has Xiangshan Temple. It's just that Shuiyue Guanyin lacks this kind of folk literature, so after the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Shuiyue Guanyin was not as popular and prosperous as other female Guanyin.
