The art of Maijishan Grottoes is famous at home and abroad for its exquisite clay sculptures. Historian Fan Wenlan once praised Maijishan as a "big exhibition hall for displaying statues". If Dunhuang is a big mural museum, Maijishan is a big sculpture museum. The statues here are as high as 16 m and as small as 10 cm, which embodies the characteristics of statues in various eras in the past thousand years and systematically reflects the development and evolution of clay sculpture art in China.
Clay sculptures here can be roughly divided into four categories: high relief sculptures protruding from the wall, circular sculptures completely leaving the wall, molded shadow sculptures and wall sculptures close to the wall. Among them, thousands of life-size circular sculptures are very interesting in life and are regarded as treasures.
Maijishan statue has two obvious characteristics: strong national consciousness and secularization trend. Except for early works, almost all the Buddha statues since the Northern Wei Dynasty are obedient and affable.
Although he is a god in the sky, he is like a secular person and becomes the embodiment of people's good wishes. Judging from the figures and costumes of the statue, it is gradually getting rid of the influence of foreign art and embodies the characteristics of the Han nationality.
