Text and Image Analysis of Shakyamuni's Asceticism of"Magpie Nesting on Head"and"Reed Sprout Piercing the Knees"during the Song Dynasty
The paper focuses on two aspects,text and image,and analyzes the new development of Shakyamuni's asceticism during the Song Dynasty,namely"Magpie Nesting on Head"and"Reed Sprout Piercing the Knees",which have the ideological connotation of complete Zen and long-term forgetfulness.Its text is popular in the Zen area and has become a verse for meditation and enlightenment.It not only represents asceticism,but also symbolizes becoming a Buddha.Its image completely breaks away from the traditional pattern of the Buddha's ascetic statue based on Buddhist scriptures,no longer highlighting its slender form,but integrating Chinese creativity to present a new appearance.
