Why did Mogao Grottoes choose such a deserted place where wind and sand gather?

When we think of the Mogao Grottoes, we all think of the brightly colored murals and various large Buddhas, which are simply historical miracles. I believe that each of us has learned about the Mogao Grottoes in the history booksIt was built deep in the desert and was also the place where the Silk Road was routed.

The Mogao Grottoes were built in the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, according to records, in the second year of the former Qin DynastyAt that time, a high monk passed by here and saw the golden light and sheng, like ten thousand Buddhas appeared, so he dug the first cave on the rock. Later, Zen Master Holiang and others continued to build caves and practice meditation here, and it was called "Mogao Grotto", which means the high place of the desert. Later, because "desert" passed "Mo", it was changed to "Mogao Grottoes".

Mogao Grottoes is located at the eastern foot of Mingsha Mountain, 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City. Because the climate of Dunhuang belongs to the extremely arid continental climate, there is little drought and rain throughout the year, and the temperature difference between day and night is particularly large, so the wind and sand here are very large.

Mogao Grottoes, also known as Thousand Buddha Caves, is the largest, oldest and most well-preserved treasure house of Buddhism and grotto art in China. Each grotto in Mogao Grottoes is a comprehensive artistic embodiment of cave architecture, painting and painting. It reflects the social life conditions of ancient times from many aspects, and provides us with multi-faceted historical materials for studying ancient social history, culture and ethnicityFor this reason, it is also known as the "museum on the wall".

If you go to Dunhuang, then you must go to the Mogao Grottoes to see, the ingenuity of the Mogao Grottoes, the majesty of the grottoes, will definitely surprise you, the ancient people actually have such superb skills, the various dynasties, the different cultures of the ethnic groups are all integrated into this large and small grottoes. Here you can clearly see the trend of history, which is an important cultural treasure of our country

Although the Mogao Grottoes were built in a place where wind and sand gathered, its location was protected from erosion by wind and sandOf course, the excavation and construction of the Mogao Grottoes were carefully calculated, and if this place could not preserve the grottoes, then why did the ancients build it? But don't forget that the ancient ancestors were very smart and wise.

In the summer, the most prevalent Mogao Grottoes is the east wind, our ancient people took this problem into account, so the Mogao Grottoes were built on the opposite side of Sanwei MountainWhen the east wind comes, Sanwei Mountain becomes a natural barrier for the Mogao Grottoes, blocking the wind and sand for it, so that the wind and sand cannot be blown directly into the cave, so for so many years, although the Mogao Grottoes will be eroded by the wind and sand, but the power of the wind and sand is very little for him, so the Mogao Grottoes have become the safest area in this place.

In winter, the main blow is the west wind, and when the west wind blows over the roof of the cave, it will blow down tiltingly, no matter how it blows, it will not affect the caveOf course, the Mogao Grottoes chose a remote area rather than the city of Dunhuang, which shows that Buddhism disdains to disturb worldly life, and they tend to blend in with nature.

The cave is backed by a mountain and faces the water, so it is a great locationThe river in front of the cave moistens the surrounding trees and allows them to grow strongly, these green trees not only increase the beautiful scenery of the Mogao Grottoes, but also block the sun's rays from the Mogao Grottoes, so that they are protected from the sun's radiation, so that they can exist for a longer time. After the opening of the Silk Road, Dunhuang became a meeting point of Chinese and Western cultures, and merchants would hold prayer ceremonies in the Mogao Grottoes to pray for a prosperous business.

Because the place is dry and secluded, it is very safe and peaceful.

The regional environment of the Mogao Grottoes has led to the accumulation of wind and sand, and the history is well preserved.

Because the architectural style of the Mogao Grottoes requires such an environment.

The Mogao Grottoes were supposed to be a temple and should have been built in a barren place.

The Mogao Grottoes are a respectable place, of course, you can't choose the downtown area.

I hope to be able to leave a pure land without being disturbed.

The Mogao Grottoes themselves are a kind of quiet and solemn place, and you can't stay in the city.

The Mogao Grottoes give people the feeling that they are very sacred, and they can show their identity in this kind of place.

Although the place where the Mogao Grottoes are located is uninhabited, it is precisely because of this that it has been well preserved.

It may be that the location is located in a deserted place, where the wind and sand gather, I want not to be disturbed, which is also a major feature of the Mogao Grottoes, which is still very good.

Mogao Grottoes is a very important site in ancient China. The murals in my cave can be said to be unique. In the middle of nowhere, it is more able to prevent people from vandalizing.

The Mogao Grottoes chose a remote area rather than the city of Dunhuang, which shows that Buddhism disdains to disturb worldly life and tends to blend in with nature.

The Mogao Grottoes are located far away from the city of Dunhuang, reflecting the idea of Buddhism being isolated from secular life and integrating with nature.

Because only in this place can this art be preserved without destruction, and its characteristics can be well preserved.

Because Dunhuang was an important town on the Silk Road, including Tianshui and other places, the Buddhist caves were overhauled. It's just that later it lost its status as a transportation fortress and slowly declined and was forgotten.

It is precisely because it is far away from the disturbances of the city that it will seem magical in Mogao Grottoes, which is also a point that attracts tourists.

The location of Mogao Grottoes is the junction of Sanwei Mountain and Mingsha Mountain, and at dusk you can see the Buddha light on Sanwei Mountain, which is the place of Buddha treasure.

I think the main reason is that there are still a lot of people who like it and so many people want to go.

After thousands of years of wind and frost in the Mogao Grottoes, I think he still has charm。Because the Mogao Grottoes are the precious wealth left to us by our ancestors, there are rich cultural values in them, which need to be verified by people. So, no matter what, Mogao Grottoes has his own charm.

And now he is still charming, and there are many tourists who visit it.

The Mogao Grottoes still have the flavor because its murals are still very clear。When we go to Mogao Grottoes, we can know that there are many murals on it, showing some of the living habits of the new people, as well as some ceremonial jade and social features. These are extremely valuable, because with these murals, people today can get acquainted with the lives of the ancients.

Therefore, these precious cultural values make the Mogao Grottoes the first scene of history, and you can come here to see some of the truths of the ancient past.

The Mogao Grottoes are still charming, and they are now the world's largest and richest Buddhist art site。Although some of the murals here were polluted and stolen, some were blown by the wind and eaten away by nature. However, there are still a large number of frescoes that have been preserved.

It is believed that under the protection of people's current craftsmanship, the murals in the Mogao Grottoes will definitely be well preserved. Therefore, we must believe that the flavor of the Mogao Grottoes, which has gone through thousands of years of wind and frost, still exists.

After thousands of years of wind and frost, its general charm still exists.

The current Mogao Grottoes still have their charm, but there should be some damage.

Of course, although the Mogao Grottoes have suffered some damage, it still does not affect its charm.

Many places in the Mogao Grottoes have been destroyed by lawbreakers, and now it is difficult to see the real Mogao Grottoes for thousands of years.

Although the Mogao Grottoes have experienced thousands of years of ups and downs, its historical heritage is still preserved there, and the charm is still there.

I think so, I think the current Mogao Grottoes are still very historical.

As for the current place, I think there is, after all, it hasn't been damaged.
