- Description:
Black ink, four petal flowers are nearly rectangular, and the border is angled. On one side of the ink, there is an image of Arhat, with the characters of gold script and Kai script, and the name of Arhat, which was changed by the Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty: “The eighth Vajra Buddha, who is now designated as the fifth Buddha of Bazali Buda”; On the other side is the praise of Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty. There are sixteen similar inks (421-436 in Chinese), that is, sixteen Arhat sets of inks. This set of inks collected by the hospital are all complete and stored in wooden boxes. Since there are theories of the Sixteen Arhats and the Eighteen Arhats respectively in history, Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty used this to consult Zhang Jiaguo, and thus determined the names and orders of the Sixteen Arhats. The image order and names of the ink paintings were changed according to Emperor Gaozong’s understanding of the Sixteen Arhats.
