Early Tang Dynasty murals in Cave 220 of the Mogao Grottoes hidden in a Hangzhou temple.

Shocking❗️The early Tang Dynasty murals in Cave 220 of the Mogao Grottoes hidden in the Hangzhou temple |||It’s really hard to believe Inside the Yuantong Hall of Fajing Zen Temple in Zhongtianzhu, Hangzhou Dunhuang Cave 220 actually contains the "most beautiful legendary cave" The colorful murals of the early Tang Dynasty I watch it immersively It's really shocking Mr. Xie Chengshui from Dunhuang After five years Based on the murals in Cave 220 of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes Magnified four times to complete the drawing Reflecting the broad mind and prosperous scene of the founding of the Tang Dynasty Unveiling the curtain of the prosperous Tang Dynasty Important points: Rear wall: P1-P2 This is a variation of the Vimalakīrti Sutra, drawn based on the Vimalakirti Sutra. Vimalakīrti held the tail of the croaker in his hand and sat on his knees in the tent, leaning forward with his eyebrows slightly raised and his mouth slightly open, as if he was having a heated debate. Right wall: P3-P5 This is a version of the Medicine Master Sutra, drawn based on the "Buddha Speaks of the Medicine Master Tathagata's Original Vow Sutra". The main body is the Seven Buddhas of the Pure Land, the Medicine Master of the East, and the eight great Bodhisattvas stand on the left and right. There is a huge dance and music scene in front of the Medicine Buddha. There are 28 people in the band on both sides, playing a total of 15 kinds of musical instruments from the Han nationality in the Central Plains, ethnic minorities in the Western Regions and various instruments introduced from foreign countries. Two groups of maiko danced gracefully in the bright lights. One group stretched out its arms and waved a scarf, with its locks of hair flying, as if spinning; the other group raised its arms and feet, leaping vertically and horizontally. This is probably the Hu Xuan dance that was introduced from Central Asia. Left wall: P6-P12 This is a variation of the Amitabha Sutra, drawn based on the "Buddha Speaks of the Amitabha Sutra". The Meridian consists of three parts: the lower part is the ground, the middle part is the water country, and the upper part is the sky. On the water platform of the rippling Qibao Pond, Amitabha Buddha sits on a lotus platform. Avalokitesvara and Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva stand on the left and right. Behind him, there are towering pillars and clouds. The Brahma Palace is towering and colorful. On the ground in the lower section, musicians played music, singers danced, and parrots and peacocks spread their wings and danced in response to the strings. Title: P13 From 2009 to 2015 AD, Dunhuang Academy, courtesy of Xie Chengshui Address: Zhongtianzhu Fajing Zen Temple, No. 112, Tianzhu Road, Xihu District, Hangzhou Recommendation index: ★★★★★ Tickets: None Suggestions for taking photos: First of all, you must obtain the permission of the master who is on duty, be respectful, bow before taking photos, and do not turn on the flash when taking photos; the photos taken must also be handled properly, and I hope you can read them and enjoy the merits.
