Résumé en anglais
This paper will rethink the meaning of the ‘spirit of theGiant Buddha’ through two aspects. One is to explain the processes
of objectification of that spirit; and, revivifying the genius of thecreator through analyzing the historical background, Buddhist
culture and the natural environment when it was built. The second isto analyze how people or users maintain and enrich the spirit of the
Giant Buddha through their understanding and transformation. Itwill argue that the spirit of Giant Buddha is composed by numerous
tangible and intangible “significant forms”, they gathered andaccumulated in specific ways to form the spirit of the Giant Buddha,
and give the meaning, value and significance “to place”. The paperwill point out current protection and management problems, and
explore a holistic and appropriate conservation method. Finally, itwill discuss on transmitting this spirit in a modern commercial
society.
