Longmen Grottoes is located in Yiche Canyon, 6 kilometers south of Luoyang. Here Hexi is Longmen Mountain, also known as Tianzhu Mountain; Hedong is called Xiangshan because it produces kudzu vine. The two mountains are opposite, and Yishui flows northward in the meantime, which is shaped like a natural gate, so it is called "Yi Que" in history. Luoyang, the capital of Yang Di in Sui Dynasty, was called "Longmen" because the gate of Miyagi faced the Yi Que. Longmen Grottoes are located on cliffs 1km long on both sides of the river. Longmen Grottoes, Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Datong Yungang Grottoes are also called the three major grottoes. If you add Maiji Mountain in Tianshui, they are called the Four Grottoes. Longmen Grottoes have a long history, spanning many dynasties, located in the Central Plains, with beautiful natural scenery, which is unmatched by many grottoes.
Longmen Grottoes were excavated when Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty moved his capital to Luoyang (AD 493). After the Eastern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, the grottoes with a length of 1 km were formed, with more than 2,300 grottoes, more than 65,438+10,000 statues and more than 2,800 inscriptions.
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. Among the numerous caves carved in the Northern Wei Dynasty, the most representative ones are Guyang Cave, Binyang Middle Cave, Lotus Cave and Cave Temple. Among them, Guyangdong concentrated a group of statues of royal aristocrats and court ministers in the early stage of the Northern Wei Dynasty's move to Luoyang, which typically reflected the historical model of the Northern Wei Dynasty's national worship of Buddhism.
Guyangdong
Excavated in 493 AD, it is the cave with the earliest excavation, the richest Buddhist content and the highest calligraphy art in Longmen Grottoes.
Guyangdong is the most concentrated place where the royal nobles made wishes and statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In order to spread their merits and pray for disaster relief, these dignitaries spared no expense to dig caves and shrines. Longmen Twenty Needles ("Longmen Twenty Needles" is the representative of Wei stele style, based on official script and taking regular script as its shape, which is the transition from official script to regular script and the essence of Wei Bei calligraphy selected by later stone tablet connoisseurs). There are 19 thumbtacks in Guyang Cave, and the other thumbtack is "A Que Buddhist Shrine Monument" by Chu Suiliang of Cixiang Kiln. These holes are surrounded by barriers and can only be seen from the left and right angles. The same is true of other holes.
Binyangdong
Binyang Middle Cave is a representative cave in the Northern Wei Dynasty. "Binyang" means to welcome the newborn sun. The third cave in Binyang was dug in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which was built by Xuan Wudi for his father Emperor Xiaowen. It started in 500 AD and lasted for 24 years, employing 802,366 people. Later, due to the court coup and the death of the host Liu Teng, only one of the three planned caves (Binyang Middle Cave, South Cave and North Cave) was completed, and the main statues of South Cave and North Cave were also completed in the early Tang Dynasty.
There are two big scars on both sides of the entrance of Binyang Cave (Middle Cave). The traces left by the most exquisite "Emperor's Gift to the Buddha" and "Empress's Gift to the Buddha" were stolen as a whole, and now they are in the United States.
Xi You Ji Lian East China
Named after a huge and exquisite lotus with high relief carved at the top of the cave, it was unearthed in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The smallest Buddha statue in Longmen Grottoes, only 2 cm high, is located on the south wall of Lianhua Cave. It is lifelike, nuanced and lifelike.
Prescription hole
It is named after many prescriptions of the Tang Dynasty engraved on the cave door. Founded in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, it experienced the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Qi Dynasty, and there were sculptures in the early Tang Dynasty. There are 150 prescriptions engraved on both sides of the cave gate. The drugs used are mostly plants, animals and minerals. Prescriptions involve internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, ent, etc. And the medicinal materials involved can be found in rural areas. It has greatly facilitated the people.
Fengxian temple
Fengxian Temple is the largest and most exquisite group of cliff carvings in Longmen Grottoes. The inscription on the north side of the main Buddha Lotus is called "the statue niche of Lu Dashena", which belongs to the royal temple at that time and is commonly known as "Fengxian Temple". Wu Zetian donated twenty thousand yuan to her.
There are many rectangular holes behind the nine-legged statue of Fengxian Temple. It was during the Song and Jin Dynasties that people built wooden eaves buildings to protect the statue niches. These buildings affected the ventilation of the Buddha and accelerated the weathering of the Buddha, so they were later demolished.

Longmen Grottoes Dongshan Grottoes, Xiangshan Mountain and Baiyuan Scenic Area
Dongshan Grottoes
Fragrant Hill
Xiangshan is named after the fragrant Pueraria lobata. It is separated from the Xishan Cave of Longmen Grottoes by a water, across the river, and connected with the Dongshan Cave of Longmen Grottoes and the White Courtyard, standing shoulder to shoulder.
Xiangshan Temple was built in the first year of Xiping in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 5 16). Wu Zetian proclaimed himself emperor in Luoyang, and established the Wuzhou Dynasty, which was called Xiangshan Temple by Wu Sansi, the king of Liang Dynasty, and was rebuilt. There is a much-told story that "Fragrant Hills are full of poems" (please check this allusion).
Baiyuan
Located on the Pipa Peak in Dongshan, it is the graveyard of Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
In the sixth year of Tang Dahe (AD 832), Baiyin Juyi, Henan Province donated 600,000 to 700,000 yuan to rebuild Xiangshan Temple, and wrote "Xiu Xiangshan Temple", which was named "Xiangshan Jushi". Together with monk Ruman and others, they formed the "Xiangshan Nine Old Clubs", chanting in the halls of temples and forests.
Bai Juyi lived in Luoyang in his later years 18 years. Although he was honored as a "juvenile fu", he was poor, fond of wine and good at poetry all his life. He built Xiangshan Temple in Longmen, opened eight beaches, and was very attached to Longmen landscape. In the sixth year of Huichang (A.D. 846), Bai Juyi died of illness and was buried next to the Confucian Master Tower in Xiangshan Temple. After his death, he was buried here as instructed.
Today, Bai Juyi's descendants are distributed in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and all over the world.
Gan Long Yubei Pavilion
In the fifteenth year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1750), Qianlong went to Zhongyue to practice meditation, visited the Xiangshan Temple in Longmen, Luoyang, and wrote the poem "Ten temples in Longmen, Xiangshan ranks first".
Songjiang villa
1936, Chiang Kai-shek came to Luoyang in the name of "avoiding longevity" (in fact, he planned to suppress the northwest). Chiang Kai-shek and Song Meiling once built a two-story building in the southeast of Xiangshan Temple, which was called "Sung River Villa". Now this small building shows the life of General Yang.
