据《妙法莲华经·观世音菩萨普门品》载:众生在碰到各种困厄灾难时,只要信奉观世音菩萨,一心称念其名号,观世音菩萨便会“观其音声”而前来解救。或许人们经历的苦难太多,太企盼获得解脱,于是,观音被广为传播,在中国民间,在东亚受到广泛的信仰。“水月观音”是诸多观音像之一,按唐代《历代名画记》所说是中唐画家周防最先创作出来的一种观音形象。 According to “Wonderful Lotus Sutra, Avalokiteshvara Poohmen” contains: beings encounter all kinds of distress disaster, as long as the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara, one by one called its name, Avalokiteshvara will “view its sound” and come to rescue . Perhaps people are experiencing so much suffering that they too hope for liberation. As a result, Guanyin is widely spread and widely believed in Chinese folk and in East Asia. “Water and Moon Guanyin” is one of the many Guanyin images. According to the “Famous Paintings in Ancient History” of the Tang Dynasty, it is a kind of a Buddism godness Guanyin image first created by the middle painter Zhou Fang.
