1, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is the general name of Mogao Grottoes and West Thousand Buddha Cave in Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. It is one of the four largest grottoes in China and the largest and best-preserved Buddhist art treasure house 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 Fujian Jianyuan before Qin Dynasty (AD 366), a shaman believer came here, and when he saw the golden light on Mingsha Mountain and the Thousand Buddha Cave, he sprouted the heart of digging, and later became a Buddhist holy place, named Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as Thousand Buddha Cave. China Grottoes originated from India. The traditional grottoes in India are mainly stone carvings, while the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang are mainly clay murals because rocks are not suitable for carving. Generally, the whole cave used to be round, and then it gradually faded into high plastic, shadow plastic and wall plastic. Finally, with the mural as the background, the two arts of plastic and painting were combined.
