Fifteen centuries later, I stepped into the Chan grotto of this overlooked gem of the Northern Qi dynasty — the Xiaonanhai Grottoes.The central cave faces south, with its entrance to the north. Exquisitely carved, it stands as the masterpiece among the three caves of Xiaonanhai.Above the arched lintel is sculpted a Buddhist guardian deity: the Golden Garuda .During the Northern Dynasties, Buddhism flourished, and their dominion encompassed key routes along the Silk Road. The depiction of the Golden Garuda absorbed artistic elements from Persia and Central Asia, serving as a significant testament to the exchange between ancient Chinese Buddhist art and Western cultures.The Golden Garuda feeds on dragons throughout its life; yet, at the moment of death, the dragon’s venom turns inward, consuming it in a blaze. Only a pure, azure-glass heart remains. This imagery profoundly shaped the East Asian Buddhist view of spiritual cultivation: “Fire is not only a force of destruction, but also a catalyst for transformation.”From the Northern Dynasties’ statues to the incisive dialogues of Chan Buddhism, practitioners are constantly reminded: only by confronting afflictions and tempering the mind can one, like the Golden Garuda, attain the “pure azure-glass heart” amidst the karmic flames.

Hoho Kuo,female, who learned painting from her father, the artist Mr. Guo Yu, since childhood. She graduated from the Stage Design Department of the Central Academy of Drama and later from the Directing Department of the Beijing Film Academy.Now based in Shanghai. Active in the visual arts industry as an independent director, painter, and other multiple roles. She directed the advertising film "Lively City," which won the China International Advertising Film Golden Lion Award.In 2024,she devoted herself fully to the field of artistic painting,continuously garnering attention from awards and setting sales records in both public and private domains.For Hoho Kuo,compared to the oil painting medium that she has been familiar with since childhood,she prefers the versatility and ease of acrylic materials, which allow for both thick application and glazing. :“This enables me to create clear edges and explore both internal and external spaces to express rich emotions”.Her learning and project experience in film and theater have given her a more thorough insight into the exploration and handling of space, light and shadow, and characters' inner worlds.: “leading a filming team and integrating elements on a canvas are equally rich and detail-filled experiences”.
