【正文】 fficial in Qinzhou visited Maiji Mountain Temple Fair. On the spur of the moment, he wanted to wander from the ferry chain of the seven Buddha Pavilion to Niuer hall with the posture of turning over with a kite. But when he stood firmly in Niuer hall and looked down, he saw that the cliff was steep and the people in the valley were like ants. Suddenly, he felt dizzy, his legs were soft and trembling, and he did not dare to step any more. The Yamen servants had to invite a group of stonemasons to dig a small hole. Only then did the state official climb over from the hole. Up to now, there is still a saying that the kite turns over and the cow hall in the local area. Among the caves in Xiya, caves 133 and 127 are the largest. stele cave is the most special cave in Maiji Mountain. In the cave, there are not only many clay sculptures, but also 18 stone tablets, some of which are covered with thousands of Buddha statues, so they are also called ten thousand Buddha Hall. Among them, No. 10, No. 11 and No. 16 are the essence of numerous tablets. Cave 127 is even more splendid. Most of the murals on the four walls and caisson are preserved. The style of the later Wei Dynasty is elegant and vertical. Draw a picture of Buddha39。s works has long been history. People can safely and boldly visit each cliff Pavilion, enter each cave at will, and enjoy the beautiful scenery at the foot of the mountain with unrestrained feelings. Maiji Mountain is 142 meters high. Most of the grottoes are cut in the air on 20 to 70 meters high cliffs. There are cliff pavilions, Mogao Grottoes, cliff niches, mountain buildings and corridors. The caves are shaped like herringbone roof, square collapse roof, arched lintel, dome, square lintel flat roof, square lintel covered caisson, square flat roof, small circular niche and Yu top. These different types of cave niches and cliff pavilions are the material materials for studying the cultural exchange between China and the West and the evolution and development of architectural structure. According to records, when the grottoes were excavated in those years, timber was piled up from the bottom to the top, and then construction was carried out. One layer was built, and the other layer was demolished until the foot of the mountain. According to legend, when Li Yunxin built the seven Buddha Pavilion for his dead father, he used 400000 people. Until now, there are still local ballads: after cutting Nanshan firewood, build Maiji cliff, first there is wanzhang firewood, then there is Maiji cliff. Even the first American tourists praised the Maijishan Grottoes as one of the seven major projects in the world in the 1947 peace daily. Maijishan Grottoes used to be a plete mountain.

The whole grottoes were divided into two parts: East Cliff and West Cliff. There are 54 caves in Dongya and 140 caves in Xiya. Because Maijishan stone is purple brown hydrous parent rock, it is not suitable for fine carving, so most of them use clay sculpture and painting. The main themes of Maijishan statues are Buddha, Bodhisattva, disciple, king of heaven, and strongman. Although the statues of different generations are in the same hall, they do not follow and imitate, but maintain their own characteristics of the times, and systematically reflect the development and evolution of clay sculpture art in China. Whether it39。 the dangerous people are few on the top Road, and the ancient rock pines and cranes frequently inhabit。an grottoes Like Yungang Grottoes and Luoyang Longmen Grottoes, they have precious art treasures. In terms of artistic features, Dunhuang focuses on geous murals, Yungang and Longmen are famous for their magnificent stone carvings, while Maiji Mountain is famous for its exquisite statues.

In Yutang gossip written by the Five Dynasties, it is said that Maiji Mountain people, crossing the Qingwei River in the north, gradually being two dangs in the south, with five hundred Li hills and hills. Maiji is in the middle of the mountain. A stone rises up and looks up to a hundred Zhang high. It looks like a group of people accumulating wheat, so it has this name.. Du Fu wrote a poem praising: there are few remnant monks in the wild temples. The mountains are round and the roads are high. Musk sleeps carnation, parrot pecks golden peach. Stones pass through, Cliff House prison, the top heavy Pavilion night, a hundred miles to see qiuhao Maijishan grottoes were built with the smooth development of the Silk Road from the post Qin period. According to the biography of eminent monk Liang, during the Yongchu period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the eminent monk Tan hongchan lived in Maiji Mountain. Soon after, the famous monk xuangao arrived, and they lived together in temples, often with more than 300 apprentices. In the Western Wei Dynasty, Yifu, the original Queen of Emperor Wen of Wei Dynasty, died here and chiseled Maiji cliff and buried it as a niche. In the years of Baoding and Tianhe in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Li Yunxin, the governor of Qinzhou, built seven Buddha pavilions for his dead father. He once asked Geng Xin to write a preface to the inscription of maijiya Buddha niche in Tianshui County of Qinzhou for him. In the fourth year of Renshou, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty, the envoys of Qinzhou built a seven level pagoda on the top of Maiji Mountain, which is said to be one of the 84000 pagodas of Asoka. So far, the pagoda is still standing on the top of the mountain, but it only has five levels and has been rebuilt in recent years. Whe
