What's the story of Longmen Grottoes?
/kloc-More than 0/300 years ago, in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, and she was very fond of the mountains and rivers in Yique and the beautiful and elegant Xiangshan Temple. She often sits in the stone building of Xiangshan Temple (according to the biography of Datang), and left an allusion "Xiang Fu Shan Shi Jin Bao" in the stone building. During a spring outing to Xiangshan Temple, Wu Zetian did not appear.
The poetic style in Tang Dynasty was very prosperous. Wu Zetian gave the winner a brocade robe. This award is not necessarily expensive, but it is a rare honor. Of course, ministers don't give in to each other, and they fight for each other.
Zuo's "Oriental Autumn" became the first poem: "I don't know the trees in the garden when the flowers are full. If it is a real plum, "Wu Zetian felt that Oriental Autumn was witty and talented, and immediately gave him a brocade robe. At this time, most ministers also wrote poems and read them in public. Among them, the Song Dynasty's "A Tale of the Dragon Gate" recognizes its influence in the East.
The new year has come, but we haven't seen the fragrant flowers yet. Until February, we were surprised to find that the grass grew green buds. Snow seems unable to bear the late arrival of this spring, but it has been raging, sprinkling a flying flower among the trees in front of the courtyard.

In September of the 15th year of Qianlong (AD 1750), Emperor Gaozong of the Qing Dynasty meditated in Zhongyue and visited Xiangshan Temple in Longmen, Luoyang. The first sentence of the poem "Two Poems of Xiangshan Temple" is a tribute to Xiangshan Temple. This poem was carved on the stone tablet at that time, and an imperial tablet pavilion was built, just inside Xiangshan Temple.

Cultural value embodied in Longmen Grottoes;
1, Longmen Grottoes is the most concentrated place where royal nobles made wishes and statues in the Northern Wei and Tang Dynasties. It embodies the will and behavior of the royal family and has a strong ethnic and religious color. The statues of the two dynasties reflect very different styles of the times. The statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty lost the rough, majestic and vigorous features of the statues in Yungang Grottoes here, but the flavor of life gradually became strong and tended to be lively, delicate and gentle.
2. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, people advocated thinness as beauty. Therefore, the Buddha sculpture also pursues the artistic style of showing bones and clear images. In the Tang Dynasty, people thought fat was beautiful, so the face of the Buddha statue in the Tang Dynasty was round, the shoulders were wide and the chest was high. The carving of clothing patterns was made with a round knife, which was natural and smooth. The sculptures in Longmen Grottoes in the Tang Dynasty inherited the excellent traditions of the Northern Wei Dynasty, absorbed the culture of the Han nationality, and created a vigorous, vivid, simple and natural realistic style, reaching the peak of the carving art of Buddha statues.
