Longmen Grottoes
So now let me give you a general introduction first. Around 13 km south of Luoyang, there are two picturesque hills confronting each other with the Yi River flowing northward between them, connected by an arched stone bridge rembling a natural gate tower. This is the right place named Longmen, where the well-known Longmen Grottoes is located.
The grottoes, which earn the fame of one of the Three Treasure Hous of Stone Sculpture in China, were created over 1500 years age. The Longmen Grottoes was first known in the year 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen moved his capital to Luoyang from Datong, Shannxi Province, which marked the initiation of development and expan of Buddhism in Central China.

While the North Bin yang cave was added for the late Emperor Xuanwu by a eunuch（太监）in the palace named Liu Tang in 508AD.

And now, we’ve come to another “most”, the Fengxian Temple. So what highlights can we e here? I’ll show you. One day in 655AD, Empress Dowager Wu Zetian cried in the palace. Emperor Gaozong asked her why she was so unhappy. She said: “Do you think I am beautiful?”the Emperor answered: “Of cour, you are the most beautiful lady under heaven!”the Empress said: “but sooner of later I would be ugly. Beauty cannot last long.”The Emperor Gaozong at once made the best artist in the palace paint a beautiful portrait of Empress Wu. But she still cried, she
