The bronze Buddha statues were first recorded in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and were often called Jin people in the early period of Buddhism. In general, it developed with the rise of Buddhist temples, mostly in palaces or Buddhist temples, and flourished from the northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty. There are very few gold and copper Buddha statues in the early period of existence. This gold and copper Buddha statue of houzhao is the earliest Buddha statue with a clear chronology in China.
Buddhism was introduced into China from Han Dynasty, but it was only regarded as a kind of immortal Taoism in the early stage, and it was not popular. After the Western Jin Dynasty, social unrest and people's suffering provided a broad folk soil for the spread of Buddhist belief; On the other hand, the ethnic minorities such as Xiongnu, Xianbei, Jie, Di and Qiang came to the north of China, and their cultural traditions and Buddhism from the western regions were more easily identified with each other. Buddhism grew rapidly in the period of Sixteen States and penetrated into all social strata. During this period, China's first group of eminent monks appeared, who were strongly supported by the Hu rulers.
The bronze of this group of Buddha statues is fine and delicate, with a large proportion. Therefore, during the Kangxi period, the palace statues had fine workmanship, dignified modeling, thick gold water, delicate copper, heavy hands, high hardness, thick copper body, and improved workmanship.
