Description

Thunderbolt Red Lips is a description of a woman’s lips are bright, full of dancing, sexy and charming, giving people a warm, hot feeling. In fact, in the Buddhist tradition, Buddha statues do not usually have red lips or other elements of makeup. This is because the main purpose of the Buddha image is to express the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha, as well as to lead people to pursue inner peace and awakening. The statue of Buddha represents something beyond the earthly realm, with no emphasis on external features or decorations. Nevertheless, sometimes in Buddhist culture, some specific Buddha images may be painted or decorated to highlight their special meaning or symbol, which is not universal.

A Grand Overview of Vernacular Aesthetics is a book series established by artist Zhang Xiao, with the objective of exploring, showcasing, and interpreting folk art, folk culture, and vernacular aesthetics. This series encompasses a diverse range of folk art forms from various regions across the country, as well as the everyday practices of the people, highlighting the richness and unique allure of vernacular aesthetics. It also reflects the general public’s comprehension of art, culture, and aesthetics. Through extensive research and the collection of samples from different cultural backgrounds, this book series provides readers with a window to comprehend the contemporary pursuit of vernacular aesthetics in China.
