I learned that many were able to conduct field studies with the generous help of EASC fellowship.<\/p>\n<p><b>What is your research focus?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>I research Buddhist cave temples and sculptures in premodern China, and how numbers mediate the scale of the human body and the cosmic scale of the Mahayana time and space.<\/p>\n<p><b>In what ways did the EASC Graduate Fellowship impact or help your research?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>As one coming from art history, visiting the sites in person is indispensable to my research. Since I deal with bodily experiences, scale\/space, and geological time, being at the cave temples in their original context transformed my perception of these sites completely.<\/p>\n<p><b>Can you share any anecdotes about your fellowship experience?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Going to cave temples required more courage than I thought. I had to climb very steep, wooden staircases attached to the cliff to access Cave 169 of Binglingsi cave temples. The wooden staircases squeaked and trembled, while I could see through the gaps the sheer height that I climbed already. Local tourists were cheering us on as I wobbled my way through flights of stairs. When I reached the top to see the open vista and countless Buddha images carved and painted, I realized that this journey was a transformative one, a transitional path to reach the numinous Buddhist deities sculpted 1500 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n\n  \n    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div\n  class=\"cc--component-container cc--rich-text \"\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  >\n
