Mount Wutai, a place endowed with fine spirits of humanities and prolific remains of Arhats portrait art. The existing Mount Wutai Arhats portrait spans the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods, and through the artistic creation of successive generations of literati painters, exquisite Arhats portraits are painted on different artistic carriers. On the basis of inheriting the traditional Chinese paradigm painting expression, the portrait of Mount Wutai Arhats constantly draws on folk nutrients. It integrates foreign Buddhist culture for refinement and sublimation. The reconstructed portrait pays attention to the image expression of its objects and the shaping of spiritual temperament. The shape is ancient and vivid, and the scene is ethereal and mysterious, which rationally expresses the Buddhist philosophy of generosity, benevolence and kindness, and contains unique oriental aesthetics.
