Characteristics of Buddha capital

Cliff statues:

Cliff sculpture is a kind of sculpture skill of carving Buddha directly on the original cliff. This kind of cliff sculpture technique is very difficult. If you make a mistake, the whole Buddha statue will be destroyed, and even the whole cliff can not be carved again. With the joint efforts of professors and masons in the Sculpture Department of Sichuan Academy of fine arts, dozens of cliff sculptures have been successful everywhere, making this kind of cliff sculptures, which flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties and nearly lost in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, shine again in the Oriental Buddha. The Buddhist art project embodies the craftsman's spirit and creative thinking, and integrates the Oriental Sculpture method

At the same time, the traditional elements (Sutra stories, character costumes) and modern elements (background and specific plot design, picture composition rules, relief art ups and downs characteristics) are integrated. With the Sutra story as the core and various times and cultural factors as the constituent elements, the inheritance and innovation of ancient Buddhist statue art are realized .

Sculpture art:

Oriental Buddhas break the tradition in the form of sculpture, and inherit the traditional ideas in the content. Like Michelangelo, the Italian artist in the Renaissance, who inherited the ancient Greek humanistic spirit in his works, he not only inherited the tradition, but also broke through the shackles of traditional forms. Combining with the experience and methods of Western sculpture, he created a magnificent group of Buddhas beyond time and space. If the sculpture art is to reproduce the solidified history, what the Oriental Buddha capital creates is the great project of solidifying the culture in the historical spiritual wealth, and what it opens is the prosperous prospect of the future social development.

underground palace:

The underground palace of Buddhist art. The cave is filled with smoke and is magnificent, like entering a fairyland. The underground palace is an important scenic spot of the Oriental Buddha capital, and is the work of many famous sculptors. In the huge and delicate creation of the Buddhist art project in the cave, the sculptors combined their knowledge of ancient Chinese sculpture with the Western anatomical knowledge of human body structure, and took Buddhist stories and cultural ideas as the core for fusion and new exploration. They created a huge, large number of religious statues with perfect system and rich connotation. Such a project is no less than Michelangelo's reproduction and creation of Christian culture in the Renaissance. If the sculpture art is to reproduce the solidified history, what the Oriental Buddha capital creates is the great project of solidifying the culture in the historical spiritual wealth, and what it opens is the prosperous prospect of the future social development.

gardens:

Buddha Scenic Area is covered with forest, wild and natural. The builders make use of and transform the natural landscape in the scenic area, combine with the planting of plants, and integrate with the Buddha statue, thus forming an environment for people to watch and enjoy.
