The grottoes are not large in size, but they are well preserved and very special, and they are worth the fare. The grottoes were dug from the middle of the 9th century to the second half of the 12th century, for the time of Nanxun and Dali, about our Tang Dynasty. Shibao Mountain is named because the red sandstone on the mountain becomes a turtle-like back crack, like a lion like a bell and like a Buddha first, especially the temple this boulder is like a clock, very strange. Photographing is prohibited in the grottoes, all photos are from the Internet~ The first grotto recreates the scene of political life in the court after the return of Nanzhao to Tang Dynasty in the late eighth century AD. The No. 2 Grottoes are magnificent palace-style carvings, showing the grand political scene of the "convergence of state and religion" discussion on the road of the fifth generation of the most heroic historical figure in Nanxun history, the fifth generation of the king, Luo Feng (in power from 748 to 778 AD). Grottoes 3, Grottoes of the Tibetan King ~ Grottoes 4, Huayan Sansheng, in Huayan Sutra, Wenshu Bodhisattva with wisdom, Puxian Bodhisattva to help Sakyamuni Buddha's Fa body Piluzhana Buddha (the tantra is as big as the day). Therefore, "Sakyamuni three Zun" is also known as "Huayan Sansheng". Grottoes No. 5, Shakya practice like. Folk commonly known as "sad face Guanyin", the background is a cliff, in which it is dotted with secular figures such as widowers, old men, piano teachers, children. Guanyin leans forward, looks down, his brows are slightly, and he gazes silently at the sad world. Grottoes No. 6, Mingwangtang, are the largest caves, 11 meters long. 3 meters high, the layout is strict, sitting in the middle of the Sakyamuni Buddha with a serene attitude, the left and right ribs are the two honored Ananda and Jiaye. Grottoes No. 7, Mannlu Guanyin, sitting like 1.52m high, left hand holding knee, right hand lifting, like holding Yangzhi, full body, round shoulders, With a strong atmosphere of secular life, its appearance is dignified, the eyes are kind, and it shows the generosity and kindness of Bodhisattva. Although the body has the characteristics of Bai women, the exquisite earpieces, arms, and bracelets absorb the nutrition of Indian Veda art, Known as "Venus of the East". Mann露 Guanyin looks dignified but not shallow, beautiful and intelligent, kind and compassionate but not light. Her chest was dug into a small rectangular hole, so the folk called her "Caesarean Guanyin". Grottoes No. 8, "Ayang Bai" is very strange.
