    The Feilai Peak next to the Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou is the main scenic spot in the Lingyin area and a famous spot in Hangzhou. As the head of the five mountains of Zen Buddhism, the stone carvings of Lingyin Temple Feilaifeng are important works of grotto art in southern China, these Buddha statues carved on the limestone span from five dynasties and ten kingdoms to the Ming Dynasty, among more than 470 statues, there are 335 statues that are intact and relatively complete, and the wonderful appearance is solemn and precious. The Feilaifeng stone carvings are rare ancient grotto art treasures in the south of the Yangtze River, which are comparable to the Dazu stone carvings in Chongqing.

    Su Dongpo once used the poem "Streams and mountains can be found everywhere, and the favorite Lingyin flies to the peak" to describe the scenery here.

    Ganzhou Tongtian Rock Cave is mainly composed of five caves, including Guanxin Rock, Forget to Return Rock, Longhu Rock, Tongtian Rock and Cuiwei Rock. On the cliff of Tongtian Rock, there are 8 statues of the Tang Dynasty carved and chiseled, which is the earliest work of Tongtian Rock Cave. You look at this statue of Guanyin with her hands folded, she wears a crown, her face is plump, her shoulders are draped, her treasure is drooping, she wears a collar and an arm, a short Yingzhen, the skirt wears a ring hanging down from the waist, and she steps on the lotus platform, although it has been eroded by thousands of years of wind and rain, it is still lifelike, and Mr. Shen Congwen called it priceless.

    Su Bai, an expert from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, wrote a poem in 1991 after inspecting the statue of Tongtian Rock Niche: "Morning publication of the Bodhisattva statue, late supplement of the Arhat group, the founding of the late Tang Dynasty, the eternal reflection of the Ganjiang River."

    The three major grottoes in ancient China are the Mogao Grottoes, the Yungang Grottoes and the Longmen Grottoes.

    1. Mogao Grottoes.

    Mogao Grottoes, also known as the "Thousand Buddha Caves", is located 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City, and is one of the four major grotto art treasure houses in China. In the second year of the founding of Qin Fujian (366 A.D.), there was a Venerable Shamen Le who went here, and saw the golden light on the Mingsha Mountain, and there were thousands of Buddhas in the form, so the heart of the germination and excavation was born, and the successive buildings continued, and then became the holy land of Buddhism.

    The Mogao Grottoes are the largest existing "treasure trove of world art" and were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. The characteristics of Mogao Grottoes art are reflected in the organic combination of architecture, statues and murals.

    The art of Mogao Grottoes is a comprehensive art integrating architecture, colored sculptures and murals. It is the largest and best-preserved treasure trove of Buddhist art in China and the world.

    2. Yungang Grottoes.

    The Yungang Grottoes, located in Datong City, Shanxi Province, represent the outstanding Buddhist cave art in China from the 5th to the 6th centuries AD. Among them, the five caves of Tanyao, with a rigorous and unified layout design, are classic masterpieces of the first peak period of Chinese Buddhist art.

    The grottoes were excavated in the second year of Xing'an in the Northern Wei Dynasty (453 AD), and most of them were completed before the Northern Wei Dynasty moved to Luoyang (494 AD), and the statue construction continued until the Zhengguang period (520 525 AD). Inheriting the essence of realist art of the Qin and Han dynasties, and opening the precedent of romanticism in the Sui and Tang dynasties, it is known as "China's three major grottoes" together with the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang in Gansu Province and the Longmen Grottoes in Henan, and is also one of the world-famous treasure houses of stone carving art. It is one of the largest ancient grottoes in China, and was announced as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 1961 and was listed as a world cultural heritage in 2001.

    3. Longmen Grottoes.

    Longmen Grottoes is located 12 kilometers south of Luoyang City, and is one of the three major grottoes in China with Datong Yungang Grottoes and Dunhuang Thousand Buddha Grottoes. The grottoes and shrines show the largest and finest plastic art in China from the late Northern Wei Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty (493 907 AD). These works of art, which depict religious themes in Buddhism, represent the pinnacle of Chinese stone carving art.

    Bai Juyi once said: "The victory of the mountains and rivers in the suburbs of Luoyang is the first in Longmen."

    The Longmen Grottoes were excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty before and after Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang (494 AD), and have a history of more than 1,500 years. Later, after the Eastern and Western Wei, Northern Qi, Northern Zhou, to the Sui, Tang and Song dynasties, it was continuously built on a large scale for more than 400 years.
