Style origin differentiation: Exclusive indigenous Han folk-evolved Budai Maitreya, distinct from canonical ritual Maitreya of original India, Tang Esotericism & Tibetan Jampa (pendent/cross-legged format). After monk Qici’s nirvana in Five Dynasties, people identified him as Maitreya earthly avatar, standardized into big-belly laughing format in Song-Yuan dynasties and fully popularized Ming-Qing, the most successful localized artistic transformation of Buddhism in China.

Facial temperament: Plump rounded facial structure, bald head without crown, elongated thick earlobes matching traditional auspicious physiognomy; gently curved half-lidded eyes, naturally upturned mouth forming relaxed contented smile instead of exaggerated hilarity, embodying worldly wisdom & freedom from obsession. Smooth rounded facial musculature strictly follows classic Ming-Qing Han Budai Maitreya facial carving regulation.

Posture & attributes: Relaxed casual Lalitasana (ease sitting posture). Left hand rests naturally on capacious rounded belly; right hand holds a string of prayer beads draping beside thigh. Exposed capacious belly is iconic feature: folk symbolism “great stomach accommodates all grievances”, doctrinal meaning absorbing worldly afflictions & resentment; prayer beads stand for disciplined cultivation & constant mindfulness to calm wandering thoughts.
