Maiji Mountain
Maiji Mountain Grottoes, the oriental museum of sculpture, were excavated in Maiji Mountain, Tianshui. Begun from Hou Qin Dynasty (384-417) since the opening of the Silk Road, this huge project lasted 1,600 years till the 20th century. The statues and the murals reflected the aesthetics of various times, from the slim figures of North Dynasty to plump ones in Suiaand Tang Dynasties. All figures are vivid and amiable, inheriting the culture of central China. |
