The First Holy Land in Dunhuang-Sanwei Mountain Scenic Area

"East Dangerous Peak" is the first holy place in Dunhuang. The Mogao Grottoes were built because of the Buddha's light of Sanwei Mountain. Climb the famous Buddhist art mountain and get a glimpse of the roots of Mogao Grottoes. To enter the holy land, you must first sit at the entrance of the memorial archway on the seventh floor of the East-West Four Pillars, which is engraved with "Three Dangers Holy Land". Not far ahead, two mountains surround Wang Mu Palace, which is a two-story mountain-resting palace building imitating the Tang and Song Dynasties. According to legend, this used to be the residence of the Queen Mother of the West. Walking through the "Guanyin Well" archway, I saw an ancient Amitabha Hall on the North Mountain, the Kannonji, and the newly-built Song-style building on the east side of the double-eaves Xie peak in Kannonji, which was integrated with the ancient Guanyin Well Pavilion. From Kannonji to the east, an Longwang Temple stands in the front mountain in the northeast and southwest. The temple is dedicated to the Dragon King in the sky and the Dragon King Thor in the four seas with folk beliefs. Wang Wu, the Five Dragons. In front of Longwang Temple, there is the Ping 'an Temple, which is a temple hanging mountains, and a place for offering sacrifices to the door gods, the god of wealth, the kitchen god and the god of the city god. Further on the mountain, a 66-meter-high siddhattha gotama stands on the top of the mountain, sitting east to west, lined up with other temples. At the foot of the Buddha, you can have a panoramic view of the three dangerous holy places. Laojun Temple is an ancient temple in the easternmost part, dedicated to the old gentleman on the throne, in order to bless the peace of one party.

Mogao grottoes-thousand Buddha caves

Mogao Grottoes, commonly known as Thousand Buddha Cave, is located in Dunhuang at the western end of Hexi Corridor. Founded in the pre-Qin period of the Sixteen Countries, after the Sixteen Countries, Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, Five Dynasties, Xixia and Yuan Dynasties, it has formed a huge scale, with 735 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals and 24 15 clay sculptures. It is the largest and richest Buddhist art site in the world.

The construction of Dunhuang Grottoes and its historical process, the long history of Dunhuang, the influential clan surnames in the local area, and the relationship between Dunhuang and neighboring ethnic groups and the western regions are not or rarely recorded in history. There are thousands of portraits of patrons in Dunhuang Grottoes, of which more than 1000 still have titles. Can understand a lot of historical situations and historical clues. The 1,000-year history of the construction of Dunhuang Grottoes coincides with the important development period of China's long-term separatist regime in the upper and lower Han Dynasties, its national integration and the unification of the north and the south, its peak in the Tang Dynasty and its decline. This period is the formation and development of China's artistic procedures, schools, categories and theories, as well as the establishment and development of China's Buddhist theories and sects after Buddhism and Buddhist art were introduced. Buddhist art became an important category of China art, and finally completed the China period.
