Jadeite "The Twelve Zodiac Guardian Buddhas" Jade Carving Series

——Lao Jiang (Huang Xiaopeng)

Tantric Buddhism uses the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Twelve Links of Dependent Origination, and the five elements of "earth, water, fire, wind, and space" to create eight guardian Buddhas who correspond to and protect the twelve zodiac signs. The inspiration for the jade carving series "Guardian Buddhas of the Twelve Zodiac Signs" also comes from this.
