“史上最贵”佛像的诞生,不仅让明清时期的金铜佛像映入投资者的眼帘,而且也预示着第二轮佛教艺术品收藏高峰期的到来。佛教自东汉时传入中国中原地区,迄今已经有两千多年的历史了。早期佛像主要是汉传佛教造像,如北齐、北魏、隋唐、宋辽等时期,达到了中国佛教造像的高潮,而南诏、吐蕃、大理等地所铸的佛像也有着浓厚的地域文化特色。 The birth of the most expensive Buddhist statues in the history not only brought the golden bronze statues of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the eyes of investors but also heralded the arrival of the second collection of Buddhist artworks. Buddhism has been introduced into the Central Plains since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it has been more than 2,000 years old. The early Buddhist statues were mainly Buddhist statues of Han Buddhism. For example, Northern Qi Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Song and Liao periods reached the climax of Chinese Buddhist statues, while Buddhist statues cast by Nanzhao, Tubo and Dali also had strong regional and cultural features.
