Pilgrimage and Carnival:the Performing Statues and Musical Dances in the Records of Luoyang Garland
This paper focuses on the Buddhist activity of"walking statues"in the representative masterpiece of the Northern Wei Dynasty,Records of Luoyang Garland,paying attention to the composition of the music and dance and the relationship between them and the walking statues.The book records the composition of temples in Luoyang and its Buddhist activities,and the traveling statue is a typical representative.Analyzed from the source,the walking statue comes from the Buddha's birthday ceremony in the Western region and early Buddhism in India,the music and dance used in the walking statue can be traced back to the teachings and the music and dance offerings,and the hundred operas on the one hand inherited the congregation of the display of jokers since the Qin Dynasty,and the illusions therein can be traced back to the spreading of the Buddhist monks who traveled to the Central Plains from the Western region.The combination of the image and the music and dance is not only the effective organization of the pilgrimage activities and the focusing of the"core object",but also the effective visualization of the"image"of Buddhism in a broader sense and the use of the music and dance in a hundred plays.The use of music and dance is also an effective means of visualizing and gathering people.In this process,on the one hand,the act of pilgrimage was able to realize the gathering of people and the dissemination of Buddha's teachings;on the other hand,the entertainment-based revelry also strengthened the people's links,and the combination of folk culture and images intertwined the classical and secular development of Buddhism,which also had a certain impact on the regulation,program,aesthetics,and vocationalization of the music and dances.
