Abstract: There is few study on fresco in Buddha palace, Pilu Temple, Shijiazhuang, Hebei since the fresco is damaged seriously. Currently, there is no agreement on the story contents presented by the fresco in academia. The paper studies the text source of fresco in Buddha Palace, explores the story of “JINNIU Prince”, and judges some unclear items. By comparing the relation between the Buddha Bunsen story of Buddha Palace fresco and folk Buddhism scriptures, the paper sorts out and explains the fresco of east palace. Combined with the management system of Ming Dynasty Buddhism, it predicts the function of Palace fresco to the society at that time. The comparison of “fresco” and “scriptures” provides new study ideas for rich folk cultural belief and artistic expression in Hebei of Ming Dynasty.

Key words: Pilu Temple, Buddha Palace, Fresco, “JINNIU Prince”, Buddhism scripture
