现代中国造像热:关帝炎黄孔子毛泽东纷纷登场(组图) 网易













还有什么比高大的塑像更能作为城市的标志吗?从象征美国的纽约自由女神像到巴西里约热内卢的救世主耶稣雕像,这些高大的塑像闻名世界,让人印象深刻。然而,世界上最高的塑像却花落中国,中国河南的鲁山大佛(又名中原大佛)以128米的高度问鼎全球。这座将近30层楼高的佛像如果加上22米的莲花宝座和25米的基座,其高度将达到惊人的175米,几乎相当于两座自由女神像。

佛教自古就有造像史,自乐山大佛动工之后,中国才开始了建造巨型佛像的历程。乐山大佛曾是世界上最大的佛像,1200年来这个世界之最未被改写,但在当今的中国,71米高的乐山大佛也只能排在第六位。佛教雕塑,是僧徒通过它,形象地宣传佛教教义,起到“观者听,听者悟,进可以击心,退可以招劝”的作用。但目前中国的27座高于16米的塑像中,除了乐山大佛和四川容县大佛外,皆为重建和新建,除了常见的大佛、观音等外,还有包括各种巨型关帝、炎黄帝、孔子和毛泽东像。

越建越高的巨像伴随着其周边开发的大佛景区和动辄上百的门票,其经济价值已远高于其宗教意义和艺术意义。数据显示,全球43座高度超过50米的巨型塑像中,中国占据了10座,其中除了乐山大佛是建于唐玄宗开元初年以外(公元8世纪),其它均建成于上世纪90年代后,近10年来中国新建的50米以上巨塑达6座之多。这些动辄投资上亿建造的大佛、观音、关帝、炎黄二帝像等像雨后春笋般竖立在中国的士地上,伴随周边的开发而成为国家级景区。名不见经传的河南炎黄二帝巨塑和沩山千手千眼观音收费分别为60元和40元。世界最高的中原大佛2002年建成,铸造价高达12亿人民币,作为国家5A级景区门票收费120元,江苏著名的灵山大佛风景区门票更是高到210元。相较之下,有着千年历史的乐山大佛门票也仅为90元。
