Cultural value

One of the ancient Kyushu

In the ancient times, the Chinese nation was founded in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. They thought that their place of residence was in the middle of the world. They called the country "China" and the places around it "Sifang". The ancients used the term "nine" to refer to the majority. According to historical records, Dayu divided "China" into "Jiuzhou" to show the vastness of the Central Plains. Sima Qian said in Historical Records that "China is called Chixian Shenzhou, Chixian Shenzhou has its own nine states, and the preface of Yu is also Jiuzhou." Later, people used "Jiuzhou" to refer to China. In Qing Dynasty poet Gong Zizhen's Jihai Miscellaneous Poems, the folk song "Jiuzhou is angry and depends on wind and thunder, and all horses are sad" also refers to China with "Jiuzhou".

"Jiuzhou" is the name of nine administrative regions in the Central Plains in ancient China. The name of "Jiuzhou" is different. Generally speaking, the term "Shangshu Yugong Paper" is used to refer to Jizhou, Henan, Yongzhou, Yangzhou, Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Liangzhou, Qingzhou and Jingzhou.

Maiden voyage.

Origin of Dongyi Culture

During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, the Dongyi tribes and Fangguo in Qingzhou region represented the development level of Dongyi culture. In the early Western Zhou Dynasty, the last country of the Dongyi tribe, Laiguo, was destroyed by the Qi State, and its survivors were migrated to the Zihe Valley in the southwest of Qingzhou. To sum up, the ancient Qingzhou area was the main birthplace of Dongyi culture.

"Qingzhou Style" of Buddha Statues

The true formation and development of "Qingzhou Style" Buddhist art should be in the Northern Dynasty. A large number of Buddhist statues were found during this period, especially from the Southern Qi Dynasty to the end of the Northern Qi Dynasty. A large number of stone carvings and painted Buddhist statues were found on the sites of Longxing Temple, Guangfu Temple and Xingguo Temple in Qingzhou. These statues are divided into two forms: high relief statues with lotus-shaped back screen and round statues.

As the name implies, the statue with a lotus petal-shaped back screen appears in the form of a three-body bed. In the middle of the three statues, the Lord is mostly a Buddha statue, and each side has a threat to the Bodhisattva. At the lower part of the back screen, the main worshipper carved and danced the dragons on both sides, holding the lotus flowers, lotus leaves and lotus buds in his mouth, and holding up the Bodhisattva with two flanks. The upper middle part of the back screen is mostly a single-layer side tower. The overlaying bowl on the tower is very prominent. The vertical brake rod and the ring cam wheel are on the overlaying bowl. In some statues of the late Northern Wei Dynasty, the gods holding the sun and the moon by hand appeared. If we look at these elements separately, we can find them in caves or single statues in other parts of our country. For example, single-layer pottery pagodas have appeared in Grottoes in Xinjiang, Shanxi, Hebei and other places, and the shape of lotus flowers with dragon titles has also appeared in statues unearthed in Henan. But the only way to combine these elements in a fixed form is the statue of Qingzhou.

The "Qingzhou Style" embodied in the back-screen statues was popular from the late Northern Wei Dynasty to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and gradually faded out of people's sight in the late Northern Qi Dynasty.

"Since the late Eastern Wei Dynasty, a Buddhist statue which is different from the tribute-clothes-and-band costume has gradually risen, and Gaoqi's founding of the country has been developing at a particularly fast pace." Subai, a well-known archaeologist and founder of Buddhist Archaeology in China, once referred to this thin-clothed and penetrating Buddhist statue in the article "Several problems of Buddhist statues in the cellar of Longxing Temple in Qingzhou--the third of Qingzhou City and Longxing Temple", which embodies another aspect of Qingzhou style. This style of Buddha statue, slightly convex meat bun, drooping eyes, slender, healthy, shoulder wide and flat, chest slightly raised, abdomen slightly protruded, thin waist, dress light, close to the body, is a good reproduction of "Cao Yi out of water". The Bodhisattva statue is the same in body performance. The "Qingzhou Style" was mainly popular in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
