Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are the general names of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and West Thousand Buddha Cave in Gansu Province. They are one of the four largest grottoes in China, and the largest and best-preserved treasure house of Buddhist art in the world. The Mogao Grottoes are located 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City, and are dug on the cliff at the eastern foot of Mingsha Mountain. In the second year of Qin Dynasty, in 366 AD in Fu Jian, there were worshippers of Mensa coming here. Seeing the golden light on Mingsha Mountain and thousands of Buddhas, I sprouted my heart and built it continuously, becoming a Buddhist holy place, named Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as Thousand Buddhas Cave. China Grottoes originated from India. The traditional grottoes in India are mainly made of stones, while the statues of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are mainly made of clay murals because rocks are not suitable for carving. Generally, the whole cave used to be round plastic, and then it gradually faded into high plastic, shadow plastic and wall plastic. Finally, with the mural as the background, the art of modeling and painting is integrated. There are more than a thousand caves in the Mogao Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty, and there are 492 existing caves, including Wei 32, Sui 111, Tang 247, Five Dynasties 36, Song 45 and Yuan 8. In the grottoes of the Northern Dynasties, the main image is usually Sakyamuni or Maitreya Buddha, and there are two dangerous buddhas or one Buddha, two disciples and two bodhisattvas on both sides of the main image. The back of the statue is often connected with murals.

2. AAAAA

Xiangtanggou in shouyangshan is located in Lianfeng Township, 34 kilometers southeast of Weiyuan County, shouyangshan, with an altitude of 2186-2519 meters. It is named because it is the first in the mountains and the sun shines first.

shouyangshan's two sons, Boyi and Shu Qi, who lived in Guzhu (now lulong county, Hebei Province) at the beginning of Shang Dynasty, gave way to their heirs, and they United with each other until the Zhou Dynasty. Later, they heard that the king of Wu had cut down the horse. Because King Wu didn't listen to him, he was very angry and refused to eat Zhou Su. He went west to shouyangshan, ate Wei, and then starved to death in shouyangshan, becoming a famous mountain in Longyou. When this county was built in Qin and Han Dynasties, it was named Shouyang County.

The origin of Wei shouyangshan was first seen in Zhuangzi's "Bo Yi, Shu Qi went to Qiyang, and attacked Yin", saying: I have heard of ancient scholars, but I refused to take their posts when I was in trouble. It's dark today, and Zhou De has declined. It's not like Zhou painted my body. If it is not good, I will take my second son to the north of Shouyang Mountain, and then I will starve to death. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Master Cao (that is, Ban Zhao) noted that Qi Yi in Youtong Fu was hungry and cold in Shouyang, Longxi and Shouyang Mountain.

Weiyuan was founded in Shouyang County at the end of Qin Dynasty and the beginning of Han Dynasty, belonging to Longxi County. This county is named after this mountain. It was not until the 17th year of Datong in West Wei Wendi (AD 551) that it was renamed Weiyuan County. Accordingly, Weiyuan shouyangshan has the earliest name and a long history. Qi Yi lived in seclusion and collected ferns until he starved to death, which was the best shouyangshan.
