The solemn Buddha sculptures in Dazu take on a distinctive character through their secularized and lifelike expressions. They assume various postures and countenances —some hold musical instruments, others grasp sutras; some sit upright in the lotus position, while others recline in casual, carefree poses.
庄严的佛造像在大足有了世俗化、生活化的情态,别具特色。他们姿势各异、神态有别,有的执乐器,有的持经书;有的结跏趺坐,坐姿端正;有的斜倚慵懒,姿势自在。
