2. Mogao grottoes
The Mogao Grottoes were built during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. According to the book Li Kerang Rebuilds the Monument of Mogao Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty, in 366 AD, Monk Le Zun passed by this mountain and suddenly saw the golden light shining like a Buddha, so he dug the first grotto on the rock wall. Since then, Zen master Fariang and others have continued to build caves here to practice Zen, which is called "desert grottoes", meaning "high places in the desert". Later generations renamed it "Mogao Grottoes" because "desert" and "Mo" are very common. There is another saying: Buddhists say that it is impossible and impossible to build a Buddha cave. The significance of Mogao Grottoes means that there is no higher cultivation than building Buddha Grottoes.
