| Abstract | The Buddha, Dhamma and Sangha compose the Triple Gem in all Buddhist traditions (Theravada, Mahayana and Vajrayana), and the Buddha fi gure, image or statue usually represent the Lord Buddha after his Mahaparinirvana. However, Buddha fi gures evolved in different cultures and developed in various styles infl uenced by the Buddhism that was introduced into and practiced in those different cultures. The aim of this article is to study the evolution of early Chinese Buddha fi gures that were produced over the period of the Eastern Han Dynasty (25 B.C. – 220 A.D.) and though to end of the Tang Dynasty (618 A.D. – 907 A.D.). This period was important because it was during this time that Buddhism developed and transformed from being a cultural import into something more uniquely Chinese in style. This adaptation into a real Chinese form of Buddhism can be seen in the areas of sutra translation, Buddhist teachings and Buddha fi gures. This article is mainly focused on the characteristics of Chinese Buddha fi gures, such as roble style, facial features, and hair styles during this early time of evolution. The article also examines the factors that infl uenced the evolution of early Chinese Buddha fi gures; these factors caused the Buddha fi gures to gradually change in appearance. |
