Elementary school. English composition describing Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes.

So we followed the guide into the Mogao Grottoes. What I saw was a sea of people and caves. According to the tour guide's explanation, there are 492 grottoes, 24 15 colored sculptures, more than 45,000 square meters of murals and 5 wooden buildings in the Tang and Song Dynasties. The tour guide also said: the imagination of the Sui people was not enough, so the carving was relatively dull. By the Tang dynasty, people's understanding of beauty had changed, and sculptors were more active ... but I didn't listen to a word the tour guide said, because my heart had flown to the grottoes.

The tour guide finally took us into the grottoes. It was amazing, including Cangnan and Michelle Ye of Sakyamuni Buddha and other disciples, and the world-famous flying sky ... all lifelike.

The tour guide also told us a past life story of Sakyamuni Buddha before he became a Buddha. The story goes like this: once upon a time, there were three princes. They were all very kind, but the kindest one was the little prince. One day, three princes went out to play, and the prince's two brothers were attracted by a beautiful deer. The two brothers just wanted to chase the deer and left the little prince behind. Suddenly, the little prince found a starving tiger, so he lay down and let the tiger eat, but the tiger didn't even have the strength to bite, so he took off his clothes and let the tiger eat ... This story has been passed down to this day. The tour guide also showed us the Buddha statues in 32 grottoes, all of which were lifelike. Some of them sat on plates, some held white jade bottles in their hands, and some stepped on auspicious clouds ... which really made me unforgettable.

Ah! I like the magical and beautiful Mogao grottoes.
