AbstractThe Buddhist images of the Northern Dynasties discovered in Shandong fall into three categories: single gilt bronze statues, single stone icons, and rockface shrine images, among which the second class is most substantial and can be subdivided into three groups: icons with a boat-shaped large aureole around the body, those without such an aureole, and those on steles. The dated earliest Puddhist image known so far in Shandong is made in the third year, Huangxing reign, Northem Wei dynasty (49 AD), and the latest, in the first year, Chengguang reign, Northern Qi dynasty (577 AD). The Buddhist iconography of the Northern Dynasties in the Shandong region went through four developmental stages: the middle Northern Wei from the Huangxing reign to the Taihe reign, the late Northern Wei from the reign of Emperor Xuanwu, the Eastern Wei, and the Northern Qi. In the first period period prevailed gilt bronze statues as well as single stone icons with a boat-shaped large aureole around the body; the subjects include cross-ankled Bodhisattva Maitreya, Buddha Maitreya, standing Buddhas, Prabhutaratna Buddha, Avalokitesvara, etc., the Buddhas having a squareround face, drooping shoulders and a flat breast, the fashionable dress being a double-shoulde-covering kasaya, with the pleats on the breast dropped down and spread symmetrically towards both sides from the body axis. The second period saw the new appearance of icons on steles and in rockface shrines, representing mainly Buddha Maitreya, standing Buddhas and Avalokitesvara. The Buddha’s face became meager, and the kasaya is easy, having a wide waistband and a drooping double-collar, with the pleats shown by means of deep, fine and dense lines and the lap ends flaring outwards, forming an acute angle. The third period features the development of numerous stone images without boat-shaped large aureoles around the body, which still represent Maitreya first and Avalokitesvara and standing Buddhas next. The Buddhas look mild and kindly, have a full, stubby body and wear a kasaya with the lower parts undulating gently and overlapping upon each other. The fourth period is characterized by the most abundance in both form and subject; the images represent Vairocana, Maitreya, Avalokitesvara, Amitabha, Crown Prince Gautama, etc. All of them are broad-foreheaded, full-faced, short-necked, swollen-breasted and stubby-bodied. The robes are pressed close to the body and reveal its outline distinctly, with the pleats shown succinctly by means of smoothtybulged lines.
