Human Body Images in the Murals of the Buddhist Temple of Khotan in the Early Period under the Integration of Silk Road——Focusing on the Murals of the Jin Dynasty Unearthed in Damagou,Hotan
Since the 21st century,seven fragments of murals painted during the Jin Dynasty have been unearthed from archaeological excavations at the Damagou Ancient Buddhist Temple Site in Hotan Cele County,Xinjiang.This set of mural fragments contains seven naked and semi-naked human figures of the Jile Heavenly God.The artistic style of the Jin Dynasty Buddhist temple murals in Damagou has the characteristics of early Gandhara art,and the human body shape is influenced by the elements of Matula art.The aesthetic orientation of murals which emphasize the use of line drawing to depict the human body has been influenced by the painting of human bodies in the Central Plains.This group of murals adopts an inverted"U"—shaped composition,which simulates the"niches standing Buddha"mode in the art of Daxia Arik.The painting method combines line drawing and halo dyeing,demonstrating the localization practice of early Khotan Buddhist painting under the influence of Central Plains culture.
