Purple Bamboo Guanyin in Anyue Grottoes
The Purple Bamboo Guanyin in the Anyue Grottoes is known as the "Oriental Venus" and is an outstanding representative of Buddhist art during the Northern Song Dynasty. Carved in Pilu Cave on Tazi Mountain in Shiyang Town, Anyue County, Sichuan Province. Wearing exquisite gold-plated flower crowns and a thin robe, the posture is elegant. Sitting on a lotus leaf with a sideways stance, the right foot is lightly raised and the left foot lightly steps on the lotus flower, showcasing an extraordinary and humanistic beauty full of warmth. Exquisite carving skills, smooth lines, and exquisite detail processing, especially the technique of hollow carving, make the statue both three-dimensional and delicate. Not only is it a symbol of religious belief, but it is also a crystallization of the wisdom and artistic creativity of ancient craftsmen.
