The Bingling Temple Grottoes are located on the west side of the Dasigou Ditch of Jishishan, about forty kilometers southwest of Yongjing County, Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu Province, China. The first year of the Western Jin Dynasty (about the third century AD) was excavated in the Dasigou on the north bank of the Yellow River. Above the cliff, it was formally established in the first year of the Western Qin Dynasty (420 years), with four floors. The earliest known as the Tang Dynasty Grottoes, is the meaning of the proverbial "ghost cave". The Tang Dynasty called Longxing Temple, the Song Dynasty called Lingyan Temple, the Ming Dynasty Yongle years later called Bingling Temple, "Bingling" for Tibetan "Sinba" The simplification of Bing Ling is the meaning of Thousand Buddhas and 100,000 Maitreyas. There are 183 holes in the cave. The total number of stone sculptures is 694, the clay sculpture is 82, and the murals are about 900 square meters. It is distributed on the west bank of the Dasigou, about 200 meters long and 60 meters high. The grottoes are dominated by the Big Buddha (the 169 Grotto) in the Tang Dynasty at the height of the cliff and the numerous small and medium-sized caves in the middle of the cliff face.
