In Buddhist art works such as murals and sculptures,there are a wide range of bat-winged humanoid or bat-winged humanoid images,but their identity has many lopsided and falsehoods.The earliest image of the Batwinged Humanoid figure in Dunhuang's Paint Xingdaotianwang,the Batwinged Humanoid image,through the literature and historical research,the comparison of images,found the existing five-generation paintings,Gaochang,Baiqi Crick and other popular Paint Xingdaotianwang.There is no Batwinged Humanoid figure in it,and the complexity of the Batwinged Humanoid shape can be seen.Based on the "bat-winged humanoid shape" as the main line,the development and change of images in different periods are summarized.On this basis,the origine of each element of the bat-wing humanoid image is explored,and the basic elements of the image are used to borrow the image of the beast.By comparing and studying the main elements of the bat-winged human form and the similarities and differences between the Central Asian,West Asian winged beasts and the European Satanic styles,the source-flow relationship of different styles of batwing humanoids in different regions and different cultural backgrounds is discussed.The content of the bat-wing humanoid image in the related themes of Buddhist devils is analyzed,and the true identity of this image should be determined as Yaksha.Finally,according to the humanoid image of the batwing in the Yuan,Ming and Qing Dynasties,it was found that the bat-winged human-shaped nightshade had a certain degree of rheology with the Silk Road,and it interacted with the bat-winged human-shaped Leigong,and was popular in the Yuan,Ming and Qing dynasties,and spread to Japan.After reading,it merged with the image of Tengu and made new changes.
