| Abstract | From the tenth century onward, Chinese Buddhism and its art increasingly won over
both scholars and common people, and new indigenous subjects and styles catered to
their aesthetic tastes. The reincarnation of Buddhist deities as Chinese monks or lay
Buddhists reflects one aspect of this change. Exemplifying new forms of Buddhist
deities in China are carvings of Budai (―Cloth Bag‖), a Chinese rendering of the
Maitreya Buddha, and of the eighteen luohans, an indigenous group of deities based on
a group of sixteen from India, both of which reside in niche no. 68 at the rock-cut cave
temple complex Feilaifeng in Hangzhou. The author analyzes how the local monk
Budai became a representation of Maitreya, how artists created the image of the Budai
in the niche, and how the eighteen luohans and their iconographies originated, in order
to clarify the dynamics by which indigenous deities were created. |
