What are the characteristics of the Luohan statue in Zhu Qian Temple?

Zhu Qian Temple's Luohan statue is characterized by vivid expression, vivid anatomical proportion and vivid belt treatment. In particular, the characters' demeanor, emotions, descriptions of joys and sorrows all have their own shapes. And there is a certain spiritual connection between each character. In the overall style, most of them are close to some painting styles of modern folk sculptures. In the image expression of characters, some are exaggerated, while others are almost artificial, lacking artistic meaning and image generalization. Although it seems to be true in depicting the characters' demeanor and expressing their personalities, it makes people feel a little frivolous and superficial. In addition, in the treatment of costume props, some are too trivial, and some hinder the prominence of the theme. Nevertheless, the Luohan statue in Zhu Qian Temple still occupies a certain position in the history of modern sculpture in China. If some characters are evaluated, it can be said that the secularization of modern sculpture has reached a higher level. In the general arhat statues, most of the Dharma statues are depicted as the images of Indian venerable figures. What is shown here is the expression of an Indian when talking with people, with wide eyes and tense muscles, showing inner excitement and passion; Another Chinese-style venerable man was silent and calm, and his eyes looked down as if he were thinking about a difficult problem. These two different images reflect the different personalities and actions of two characters, and both faithfully represent two different typical characters in a realistic way.
