- Inside China’s Longmen Grottoes: A masterpiece in stone

- Description
- As we know, more than 5,863 grottoes have been preserved, but we have four of the top grottoes in China. Especially at Longmen, a majority of the sculptures were donated by the emperor and imperial family members.
That is why it is unique, because the majority of the sculptures were donated by the emperor and imperial family members. They represent the power and maturity, and the spiritual might of the dynasty.
That is different from the Longmen. They're recognized as the high point of Chinese stone carving because the large construction was created by the royal family.
