Images Of Religious Figures: Guanyin Clothing And Compassion

Avalokitesvara

In the eyes of the Chinese people, Guanyin is a God who is full of compassion for the world. Therefore, it is known as "the great mercy of Guanyin Bodhisattva".

The appearance of his clothes is free from vulgarity and without the loss of human love, which shows his heart Gao Jie, which makes the audience feel that his clothes are also full of mercy.

According to the "Chinese character painting", "Guanyin, formerly known as Guanyin, was used by Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty.

It is the four Bodhisattva of Buddhism.

When Guanyin first introduced to China, it was male.

The male goddess of mercy in Dunhuang frescoes is more common. In Tang and Song Dynasties, the stately and solemn male figure was changed into a gentle and beautiful young woman.

The shape also changed from standing to half sitting, and then sat down for the whole cart.

In the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, most of them were unconstrained sitting styles, and their costumes also changed from India style robes to Chinese style long skirts, which became the favorite Buddha of the Chinese people.
