Nankan Grottoes

Nanxun Grottoes are located in Nanxun Scenic Area, No. 44 Nanxun Road, Bazhou District, Bazhong City, Sichuan Province. There are hundreds of feet high and hundreds of feet high stone walls in the belly of Nanxun Slope Mountain. The column layer is divided into dozens of cliff statues. It was founded in the Sui Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. It is an excellent representative work of Bazhong City in the art of cultural grottoes. Existing selection of images 176, more than 2,700, as well as Jingzhuang, statue monuments, inscriptions, poetry and other monuments.

The core of the Bank of Pakistan, the Nanxun Grottoes, and the Beixun, Xixun, Dongxun and Shuining Temple, also called the Bazhong Grottoes, apply for national insurance, in fact, only Nanxun and Shuining Temple are worth seeing, Longri Temple's Xixun and the like, time is limited, there is no need to go, the value of appreciation is far lower than Nanxun and Shuining. [Tu] 1. Location: Bazhong City, convenient parking. [Tu] 2. Opening hours: 9 pm to 5 pm, closing on time, is a scenic spot. [Tu] 3. Price: 40/person, more conscience, in addition to the grottoes, there are two major plates. [Tu] 4. View points: three areas, Guangfu Temple District, Grottoes District, Yaowang Palace District. (1) Guangfu Temple District. Enter the first step, the original site is Guangfu Temple, the temple name of the rotten street, so the temple is rotten, only a stone is left, engraved with the middle Tang name will Yan Wu Soo table emperor himself was degraded Bazhou pastoral, how did not work to repair the temple. In the pavilion in this area, there are stone carvings like Jia Ling's water moon Guanyin, the image is free and ugly; there is also the carving of the waste prince Li Xian about Wangwang Mountain, thinking of Chunhua in the morning, he was very sad. [Tu] 2) Grottoes area, main scenic spot, second-level ladder, divided into two parts, on the left is the inscription of the literati and the dynasties about visiting the grotto stone carvings, "Lingyun luocui", "Dragon and Tiger", etc., the level is high is ancient, the level is low is modern. The grotto on the right is the sign of Nanxun. In other places, it is mostly called Qianfo Cliff. It is basically the same as Jiajiang and Guangyuan. The difference is that the paintings, paintings and some subjects in Bazhong are well preserved, the first in the country, and the delicate and vivid. The technical skills are complicated in the travel notes of Shuining Temple. The focus is on the theme. The "III Buddha" ignited lights, Sakyamuni, Maitreya. This theme is rare, that is, the location is a bit high, and it is not clear. This is also the disadvantage of Nanxun. If you don't repair the ladder, you can't appreciate it up close, you should bring a telescope; "Ghost mother Buddha", in the meteorite mountain has the same theme, no other place has seen; "Double Buddha", one of the manifestations of the Western Grottoes, is rare in Central Plains, shaped like the beautiful snake at the town dam meeting, "Ruyi wheel Guanyin", there is the style of the north and south Dynasties of the Lijiang Feixiange, forget to say that most of the Bazhong Grottoes are works of the Tang Dynasty, a few have Wei and Jin legacy styles, here is a place, the body is long, Non-Tang Yurong; "Vishamen Heavenly King", the fetal god holding the sword Tota, the face is more spicy chicken, angry and open and angry, like a child, the winter grain is good. [Tu]3) Yaowang Palace District, on the left hand side of Guangfu Temple District, two places can be seen, one is the pillar stone in the palace of Yaowang, the base of the ancient building support column, depicted Wujiang support column, provincial relatives and friends, one is four Confucian temple pillars fished from the reservoir, rust stains, and pairings on the top. [Tu] On the whole, there is no particularly amazing work. Unexplored a cave can be comparable to Shuining Temple. Fortunately, the grotto is large in scale and the carving is fine. It is still recommended by four stars and it is worth seeing.

Most of the works of the Shengtang Dynasty are divided into layers and inlaid with Buddha. They are shaped like different postures and have a thick temperament. They form a large-scale grotto group. The second time I came to visit the Nanxun Grottoes, it made people feel spectacular. The entire cliff wall is dense and dense, and most of them are well preserved. It is also definitely a representative of Bazhong Grottoes...

Worth a visit! The advantage is that there are few people, the disadvantage is that there are few people, there is no explanation or anything. The original state of the grotto, but there are colors 😆

The grotto area is not big, but it is still worth coming over to see
