The Longmen Grottoes are about twelve kilometers away from Luoyang city. To the east is Xiangshan Mountain and to the west is Longmen Mountain. The two mountains face each other, with a river flowing and the clear Yi River flowing slowly. The earth flows into the distance.
This place was called "Yique" in ancient times. Later, Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty visited Mang Mountain, climbed up and looked into the distance, saw Yique, and thought it was the palace gate of the True Dragon Emperor. From then on, it was called "Dragon Gate". The Longmen Grottoes are one of the three largest grottoes in my country. Not only do they have beautiful scenery and a quiet environment, they also have nearly 100,000 Buddha statues carved from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty that are still well preserved. It can be called a brilliance and a Buddhist treasure house.
When visiting Longmen Grottoes, you will first marvel at the wisdom and perseverance of the ancients. Without uncanny craftsmanship, a confident idea, unwavering faith, and the courage to save all sentient beings, there would be 100,000 huge caves, 100,000 lifelike Buddha statues with different expressions, and more than 400 years of experience. After years of hard work, it is impossible to complete such a great and arduous grand project.
Whether it is Fengxian Temple or Guyang Cave, whether it is Ten Thousand Buddhas Cave or Lotus Cave, whether it is Qianxi Temple or Binyang Cave, whether it is Kanjing Temple or cliff Buddhist niche, every Buddha sculpture contains With infinite passion, each Buddha statue is soaked in the youth and life of skilled craftsmen. In particular, the huge Buddhist statue of Bodhisattva from the Tang Dynasty left in Fengxian Temple is 17.14 meters tall, with a head height of 4 meters and ears of 1.9 meters. The broad mind and noble moral character also showed the splendid style of a great country with developed material and culture in the Tang Dynasty.
Someone commented: This Bodhisattva statue perfectly combines noble sentiments, rich emotions, broad mind and elegant appearance. This is the place that tourists admire most, and it is also a classic and iconic stone carving of Buddhism. It has profound religious research value and permanent cultural and artistic charm.
Most of the well-preserved grottoes are now on Longmen Mountain, while most of the grottoes on Xiangshan Mountain have been damaged by the years. Although there are scattered ruins, they are beyond repair. Only the famous Xiangshan Temple, despite its ups and downs, is still intact. After several restorations, it is still popular with tourists. In addition, Bai Juyi's Baiyuan is also a famous landscape in Xiangshan.
The mountains here are majestic, the water here is beautiful, and the light of Buddha shines here for thousands of years. This place not only allows you to visit the mountains and waters, but also allows you to understand life. Yique is 12 kilometers away from Luoyang.

This building preserves the history of our country from the Northern Wei Dynasty (494) ) to the Northern Song Dynasty, during which time the treasure caves experienced the humanities, customs and Buddhist stories of seven dynasties including Sui and Tang, fully demonstrating the exquisite artistic skills and superb sculpture talents of ancient craftsmen. Not to mention anything else, just looking at the span of time, during the 400 years, dynasties changed frequently and wars were chaotic. Any change may cause the interruption of the sculpture project. However, this did not stop the progress of the project, and it still continued for a long time. Carry on without compromise, and continue to carve the mountain from generation to generation. How much perseverance and perseverance this requires!
