Qingyang is located in the mountainous area of southern Anhui. It is an important ramie production area in Anhui. The hemp textile industry is relatively developed. Jiuhua Mountain in the territory is one of the four famous Buddhist mountains in my country. Villagers at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain have the custom of planting lacquer trees and cutting lacquer to make lacquerware since ancient times. The raw lacquer and ramie technique is a handicraft made of natural earth lacquer, ramie cloth, tile powder (or jade powder) and other raw materials cut from lacquer trees. The production method is: first use clay to make a body, then use raw lacquer as an adhesive, and mount ramie on the embryo layer by layer. When it reaches a certain thickness, it forms a solid shell under a certain temperature and humidity. After drying in the shade, the original body is removed, and after graying, grinding, lacquering, polishing, and applying various decorative patterns, it becomes a mirror-like, colorful ramie art after dozens of processes. Because the lacquerware made by the raw lacquer and ramie technique has many advantages such as light texture, precise shape, and not easy to crack and deform, it is the first choice for making Buddha statues in the religious community. In the second year of the Tianbao Period of the Tang Dynasty, Monk Jianzhen of Dayun Temple in Yangzhou traveled to Japan to spread Buddhism. The method of making statues with lacquer was introduced to that country. The statue of Monk Jianzhen still exists in Toshodaiji Temple in Nara, Japan. The Buddha statues made by Jiuhua Mountain using lacquer and lacquer techniques in successive dynasties have been well preserved to this day, such as the Sandalwood Forest, Gion Temple, Baisui Palace, Huiju Temple, Shangchan Hall, etc. The "Eighteen Arhats, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Three Buddhas, Four Heavenly Kings" and other Bodhisattvas made from the mid-Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China have elegant shapes, beautiful lines, and calm and extraordinary expressions.
