Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is the general name 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 the Qin Dynasty, in Fu Jian in 366 AD, worshippers from Mensa came here. Seeing the glittering golden light and the Thousand Buddha Cave on Mingsha Mountain, I had a heart and built it continuously, becoming a Buddhist holy place, named Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as Thousand Buddha Cave. China Grottoes originated in 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, but later it gradually faded into high plastic, shadow plastic and wall plastic. Finally, with the mural as the background, the modeling and painting art are 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 1 10, Tang 247, Five Dynasties 36, Song 45 and Yuan 8. In the northern dynasties grottoes, 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 in shouyangshan

Xiangtanggou, located in Lianfeng Township, 34km southeast of Weiyuan County, shouyangshan, is 2186-2509m above sea level. It is named because the mountain is the first and the sun shines first.

In the early Shang Dynasty, Boyi and Shu Qi, two sons of shouyangshan in Guzhu (now lulong county, Hebei Province), 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 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. This county was built in the Qin and Han Dynasties and named Shouyang County.

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

Weiyuan was founded in the late Qin Dynasty and early Han Dynasty as Shouyang County, which was subordinate to Longxi County. This county is named after this mountain. It was not until the seventeenth year of Datong in western Wei Wendi (AD 55 1) 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. This is the best shouyangshan.
