Abstract

This paper takes the Xialu Temple mural "Jie Zun·Xi Rao Qiong Nai" as the research object, and explores its artistic characteristics and cultural connotations under the guidance of iconography, composition color and semiotics. The article first analyzes the image composition and symbols in the mural to reveal its unique position in the Xizang Buddhist art system; then, through a comparative study of composition and color, it explores its innovation in visual expression and traditional inheritance; finally, combined with cross-regional comparison, it discusses the impact of murals on the exchange of Chinese and foreign Buddhist art. This paper aims to provide a new perspective and thinking path for the theoretical construction and practical inheritance of Xizang Buddhist art.
