In the history of Datong, it was called Pingcheng. In 398 AD, it was born in the Daxinganling , the Tuoba Xianbei dynasty, and the Xiongnu, not far away, broke through the layers of the Great Wall, swept across China, and established Chinese history in Pingcheng. The first minority regime also invited the Buddha from Yunzhou to Yungang.
Yungang, described in "Shui Jing Zhu", "cuts the stone and opens the mountain. Because of the rock structure, it is really strong and strong, and the world is the best. The mountain hall water temple, the smoke temple, the Lin Yuanjing mirror, the suffix The splendid scene of the new sight has been submerged in the long river of history. Ten years ago, the ancient city of Yunzhong was rebuilt, and the ancient splendid civilization was reconstructed. Later, Emperor Xiaowen moved to Luoyang, and the emperor and the Buddha went south together. The Buddha's footprint finally traveled all over the Central Plains. The Taoism and Confucianism that grew up with the Chinese natives coexisted for a long time, firmly rooted on both sides of the river, inside and outside the Great Wall.
China has entered the Tang Dynasty. However, the Northern Wei regime did not receive the blessing of the Buddha, and the Xianbei people finally integrated into the great Han nationality. Buddhism, which has been silent for seventy years, has quietly emerged in the wave of reform and opening up. The ancient Buddhist temple is combined with advanced science and technology. The Buddha statues and temples are moving toward higher, larger and stronger, but they have never got rid of the cigarettes, chanting the spiritual world of the Buddha, and looking for the future of this life. .
Yungang Grottoes are really recommended places. It is one of the four major grottoes in China, and it is a rare product of Hu Han cultural exchanges. As the saying goes, underground cultural relics look at Shaanxi, and above-ground cultural relics look at Shanxi. Datong is the top priority of Shanxi culture. It is recommended to find a commentator to have a better experience
Very recommended! Datong must punch in! Many Buddha statues were stolen and destroyed, and it was very sad to look at! At present, the grottoes are better protected. It is really spectacular. I can't see it with my eyes. 😂 I must feel it.
In 400 AD, the monks and their craftsmen who pioneered the Liangzhou model moved to the north, and with the support of the Northern Wei royal family, they dug the Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes. This period of the Grottoes Temple is a witness to the integration of Chinese civilization with Central Asia, India, Greece and other foreign civilizations. Especially in Yungang Grottoes, it can be clearly seen, which is also one of the characteristics of Yungang Grottoes different from other Grottoes. With the northern Wei Dynasty in Luoyang, the cave statue art of Zhongyuan once again went west along the Silk Road, affecting Maiji Mountain, Sumi Mountain and other grottoes.
Entering the grotto, the first feeling is very shocking, a variety of different types of character sculpture and exquisite artistic modeling, lamenting the wisdom and skill of the ancients, conveying the essence of Chinese culture, as well as the historical and cultural origin of Buddhism, and respecting the historical and cultural heritage.
Yungang Grottoes are truly a stunning place! When I walked in, I was immediately shocked by the rampant grottoes. Each grotto is full of historical weight, like a treasure trove of ancient secrets. The sun shines through the gaps in the grottoes on the Buddha statues, adding a touch of mystery and solemnity to them. I observe each Buddha statue carefully, either solemnly or with a smile of mercy, and every detail is breathtaking. In addition to the Buddha statue, the murals in the cave are also a highlight. The colorful murals seem to tell ancient stories, making people feel like they are in that distant era. During the process of playing, I also felt the tranquility and peace of Yungang Grottoes. The environment there is quiet and pleasant, making people feel happy. Walking between the grottoes, it seems that you can hear the breath of ancient craftsmen and feel the hard work they have paid to create these masterpieces. Overall, Yungang Grottoes is an unforgettable travel experience. It gave me a deeper understanding of the ancient culture and art and history. If you haven't been to Yungang Grottoes, I really recommend you to go once~ (with hands in ten, eyes shining with expectations)
Yungang Grottoes are exquisite and exquisite, and the ghosts and axes are worth a visit. There are more than 20 grottoes in the scenic area, and the color grottoes in the middle of the period are particularly exquisite and shocking. The scenic area is not very big and slowly listening to the explanation for three hours, suitable for the elderly and children to travel.
It is not recommended to visit yourself. You must ask the tour guide to explain. This kind of historical heritage is really one less. During the Spring Festival, there are too many people, a little bit of a walk, it is a place where you can brush the second brush.
Going to the scenic spot was very traffic jam, parked the car in the nearby mining park, and then walked over, the facilities of the scenic spot could not keep up, the toilet queued too long, it is recommended to solve the problem before going. Every visiting area needs to queue for a long time, all give up, only look at the outdoor, of course, it is still very shocking, cultural treasures, historical relics, it is worth coming.
