Yaksha,as one of the female idols with human form in ancient Indian folk worship,the origin of her image can be traced back to before the emergence of Harappan culture in 3000 BC,and her identity function underwent a transformation process from "spirit","tree spirit" to "patron saint".Based on the open statues of Yaocha women,this paper analyzes the external appearances of the statues-types and styles,instruments and costumes,modeling postures and features,and then explores the interior-and interprets the symbolic meaning and aesthetic concepts of the statues from the perspective of body aesthetics.This case shows the relationship between statues and bodies and the manifestation of ancient Indian aesthetic concepts reflected from female statues(bodies).The focus of this study is to examine the body language presented in the statue of the female medicine fork and to condense it into aesthetic significance.The text is divided into four chapters: The first chapter systematically combs the birth,development and current situation of the female image of Yaocha from the literature.The second chapter,starting from the image,makes a detailed analysis of the element composition of the female statue of the medicine fork,including types and styles,instruments and costumes,symbols;The third chapter,from the overall shape,divided the style changes of the female statues of Yao fork in different periods.The fourth chapter returns to the body itself and elaborates the body language,presentation mode and aesthetic characteristics of the statue of yaksha woman layer by layer from inside to outside,so as to look back at the mapping of ancient Indian aesthetic concepts in the process of "shaping"."Yaksha" is the symbol carrier of the Indus Valley culture of nature worship,which concentrates the thinking mode and cultural psychology of the original residents who have an animistic view of nature.Through the research and analysis of the shape and form of the female statue of yaksha,this paper interprets the aesthetic meaning contained in the statue's own language and the driving force behind its formation,trying to get a glimpse of the ancient Indian people's understanding of the female body and the changes in aesthetic concepts,providing certain ideas and clues for future scholars studying the female statue of yaksha and primitive worship.
