Knowledge expansion of artistic features of Buddhist sculptures in China;

1. The stone carving of Buddha statues is a major feature of the sculpture of Buddha statues in China. In China, people pay attention to ostentation and extravagance, which can be proved by the four caves we found. In ancient times, people thought that the more Buddha statues, the stronger the Buddhist atmosphere in this place, so people chose to carve stone Buddha statues to increase the Buddhist atmosphere of this temple or cave.

Second, the granite stone Buddha appeared quite early, and this kind of stone Buddha material rarely appears in other countries. Carving a stone Buddha statue with granite requires a lot of efforts by masons. At that time, it was not a simple matter to carve a large granite carved Buddha statue, but China people will try their best to overcome this difficulty, not only carving the giant Buddha with granite materials, but also making it vivid.

Third, the integration of traditional arts in China. Nowadays, many ancient stone buddhas in China actually have a strong Chinese style, such as clothes and pendants. Especially in the later stage of development, Guanyin's modeling gained China people's own views and successfully changed the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is completely different from Guanyin Bodhisattva from ancient India.
