What is the difference between sitting Buddha and standing Buddha in jade themes?

Buddha statues can be regarded as a traditional theme of jade and are especially popular among jade lovers.

In the jade market, Buddha themes can be seen everywhere.

However, some careful jade lovers have discovered that some of the Buddha statues on the market are standing while some are sitting. What does this mean?

In fact, there are different types of jade Buddha statues.

So what is the difference between a sitting Buddha and a standing Buddha? Which one is better? Let’s listen to Brother Xuan’s story one by one.

In terms of meaning, there is actually not much difference between standing Buddha and sitting Buddha.

The Buddha itself has a strong religious color, and even people who do not believe in Buddhism are full of awe for it.

The reason why most jade lovers choose jade Buddha is to ward off evil spirits and ensure safety.

Buddha also represents compassion, tolerance and optimism, and is synonymous with auspiciousness.

Buddha is also homophonic with “Fu”, which means blessing from generation to generation and can protect the wearer with continuous blessings.

These meanings are rooted in the hearts of almost every Chinese person. This is probably the main reason why the Buddha theme has remained popular in the hundreds of years of jade history.

The biggest difference between standing Buddha and sitting Buddha lies in their shapes, one is dynamic and the other is static.

The seated Buddhas currently on the market are generally in the image of Maitreya Buddha, most of which are sitting cross-legged, which is a static Buddha shape.

Maitreya Buddha has kind eyes, a smiling face and a big belly. He appears to be bright and lively, smiling and welcoming guests from all directions.

This “cheerful” state is also a good remedy to heal the wearer.

As the saying goes: People who love to laugh will never have bad luck. After all, if you smile often, good luck will come naturally.

In addition, the overall shape of the seated Buddha is rich and full, dignified and steady, and extremely visually comfortable.

Therefore, the seated Buddha is more suitable for mature and stable people.

The appearance of the standing Buddha is not much different from that of the sitting Buddha. They both have big bellies and smile a lot.

The standing posture makes the jade Buddha look delicate and lively. This is a dynamic Buddha shape.

The standing Buddha's movements are also more diverse; some stand with their hands hanging down, while others stand on one leg holding a fan.

Therefore, the dynamic shape of the standing Buddha is more diverse than the cross-legged sitting Buddha.

In other words, the standing Buddha is more agile and lively than the sitting Buddha, and lacks some solemnity.

Therefore, it would be more suitable for young people to wear.

In addition to the different shapes, there are also some small differences in value between the two.

If the Buddha statue is of the same size and quality, the value of a sitting Buddha statue will be slightly higher than that of a standing Buddha statue.

This is because the overall shape of a standing Buddha is slender, while the overall shape of a sitting Buddha is round.

The shape of the seated Buddha is relatively round, which will result in the production of scraps. As the cost goes up, the value will naturally be higher.

The standing Buddha is slender and can be made of jade flakes without creating any extra scraps, so its value is relatively lower.

Of course, jade lovers should also make specific analysis when making specific choices.

There is actually not much to pay attention to when it comes to sitting Buddha and standing Buddha. It depends more on one's aesthetic preference.

However, when choosing Buddha jade, you still need to consider the quality, water color and site of construction comprehensively.
