Biography

Yongshan is a PhD candidate working on Chinese Buddhism. Interested in the connection between material culture and the sensuous and the emotional and cognitive experience, her dissertation will explore how Buddhist statues in early medieval China enabled new affective experience for people during the time, and how that experience was translated and integrated into the Chinese repertoire of emotional concepts.
