In addition, there is a Buddhist temple named Luohantang in the northwest of Yixian County, Hebei Province. There are 8 ceramic arhats fired by tricolor glaze, which are close to real people. Judging from the shape, clothes treatment and expression depiction, such a large three-color statue should belong to the Song Dynasty. These Luohan statues in the Song Dynasty are all clay sculptures, except that the Luohan in Lingyan Temple in Changqing is wood carving.
It belongs to the stone carving or woodcarving arhat of the Song Dynasty, the stone carving arhat and the heavenly king in the ancient temple tower of Zhiluo Town, Fuxian County, Shaanxi Province, and the woodcarving arhat of Nanhua Temple in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province.
The two arhats are small, about 52 cm to 56 cm high, and their carving techniques are completely different. The former is sharp and concise, and the latter is clumsy. Each has different artistic characteristics, showing different regional styles in the north and south. In addition, there is a bamboo lacquer statue of the Song Dynasty, which should also belong to the Luohan statue. From the facial modeling, it seems a bit formatted, and the sitting posture is quite close to the image of the Taoist "Eight Immortals".
In short, the overall shape is somewhat deformed. This kind of statue is only suitable for small-scale decorative production, but it is also one of the traditional national statues in ancient sculptures in China.
