Abstract

In the Buddhist grottoes of Tang Dynasty, there is a rare combination of statues in Guangyuan and Bazhong’s sculpture art, in Sichuan Province. The combination of statues is unique and special in that, there is totally nothing similar elsewhere in the country. This form of combination as in the topic is the so-called Bodhi and Maitreya statues in the same cave. Why is it in Guangyuan and Bazhong districts Sichuan Province that these statues were created Why is it not in other areas Look back upon the history, does this combination of statues have any other implications, religiously or politically, apart from the significance of the image art That is what the author is trying to reveal and discuss in this paper.
