| Research Abstract |
In order to consider the period and the context in which the imagery of vajra-warriors and guardian kings were clearly differentiated from those of other dharma-protecting deities in Chinese Buddhism, the researcher collected and organized relevant images and references(including historical manuscripts), with the aim of preparing foundation for further study. Upon surveying mainly the artworks remaining in Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong provinces formerly ruled by Eastern Wei and Northern Qi dynasties, the researcher was able to distinguish the works significant for further study. Additionally, the researcher collected and validated relevant references on the eminent monks shown in records as having created images of dharma-protecting deities.
