Away from the hustle and bustle

Religion is a social ideology. Its function is to provide society with a way of perceiving the world, a set of values and moral systems that judge social behavior.

As a social entity, religion has its substantive function, that is, it provides an organization form for society, a mechanism and system of adjusting, integrating and condensing the society.

Since religion is a form of consciousness that people know about ningzhou, understanding society and understanding life, it will produce views and attitudes towards the world, society and life, so religion is also a world view.

The cultural level of religion often makes people perceive the truth of religion. Therefore, the history of cultural development of any nation in the world is influenced by religion in varying degrees, forming a religious culture of different contents.

Religion is also a cultural phenomenon.

When it comes to culture, the role of dress culture in religion can not be ignored, because the influence of image factors on religion is very great. In the case of Buddhism, Buddhism was not statues at first, because Buddhism believes that "emptiness" is the highest state of practice. But later, in order to facilitate the spread of Buddhism, idolatry has become an excellent means of publicity. The most obvious problem is that when Buddhism was introduced into China, it gradually evolved into a statuary with its own national style.

As an element of image, dress inevitably becomes a sharp weapon for describing religion.

The image of the character has certain programming style, such as the Buddha's image in the Buddhist scriptures, there are "thirty-two phases" and "Eighty kinds of good".

"Xiang" refers to the main characteristics of the Buddha, and "good" is a more specific description of the Buddha's image details.

"Top meat bun", "eyebrow BM", "over knee", "wide and good", "high nose and no holes" are the concrete basis for shaping the image.

Clothes & Accessories

Generally speaking, it is not luxurious. This style has nothing to do with the realm of pursuit. It is far away from worldly complexity and noise, and seeks for a pure land of its own.

The stereotype of religious figures is usually related to their age of development or development. The early Buddhist figures were mostly right shouldered or shoulder shouldered. They were more close to each other and had a deep nose and high nose. They obviously had the characteristics of India race and clothing, but later gradually evolved into

Han dynasty

The clothing style of the costumes is also changed, and the character modeling is changing with the development of the times.

In the Tang Dynasty of China, we can easily find that Buddha and Bodhisattva are also full of beauty.

Similarly, the images of Jesus and Madame Maria were modeled in the middle ages.

The description of religious figures' costumes is a kind of art that comes close to worldly and vivid.

From the aesthetic implication, it moves from the broad sense of reason to the ordinary worldly sentimental interest. From the aesthetic form, it goes from majestic to solemn and elegant to white and lively.

This kind of lingering charm reveals that religion is far away from the hustle and bustle behind the Enlightenment of the people.
