Everyone may be full of memories of the ethereal gods in the paintings of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Those mottled paintings and solemn Buddha statues also exist in the Yungang Grottoes. Shanxi, the province with the most ground cultural relics in China, one of which must not be missed is Datong. When you come to this city, you cant miss the Yungang Grottoes and the most shocking part of me finally came. First, I saw the original grotto that was weathered, and then went into the statue of the Buddha in the high school political book. The cave is still very bright. Because the window is open outside, Datong should be a relatively dry area, and the rain will not affect it. Go inside the cave. On the contrary, the water seepage in the cave will affect the appearance of the Buddha statue. However, the overall preservation is better than the Longmen Grottoes, and some of the caves still retain the original paintings. The is bigger than I expected, and some of the caves are still being maintained. It is a pity that I can't see it. However, I was surprised to see the building built in front of the grotto. I thought I could only see such a tower in Dunhuang. The color retreats just right, revealing an ancient flavor. The people under the kind of good-looking Buddha statues look small. The pagodas in the caves are engraved with exquisite small Buddhas. They cannot but admire the ancient handicrafts. The creativity of human beings is always so amazing, and every inch of the world is transformed. The story is just as colorful.
