went to the China-five- A-classed landscape Longmen  of Luoyang , in Henan . Longmen grotto is one of the four biggest grotto in china .theYi river is between the two mountains ,west mountains and east mountains .Yi river’s water is clear and calm .the east mountains looks green and mysterious while we stood at the other side .

There are more than 100 thousands carving of buddha on the west mountains . they were built from Beiwei times to the Tang and the Song dynasty .from the buddha’s image , we could see that the thinner ones were built in Bei wei time .the fatter ones were built in the Tang dynasty , the time the kings and queens liked to be fat figure .  somehow , there was something to do with the rich life at that days .

there is a tallest one among them , which is at a height of  17.14 meter . its head is 4 meter high and its ear is 1.9 meter long . the carving buddha  looks like a smiling, bright and kindly middle-age  woman with wisdom . what a a wonderful artwork with human-liked noble sentiment, abundant emotions and elegant appearance .it was built at the Tang dynasty while the Li zhi and Wu ze tian were king and queen .there is a shortest one which is 2 cm hight .

it is hard to believe that there are so many carving buddhas have been cut by their heads or arms or legs , which were sold to other countries for big money by some gang .

there is some temples on the east mountains , which is called fragrant mountain . Wu ze tian liked to state there for her rule. Bai ju yi met his poets there . king of Qianlong caved his poem on the stone .Jiang jie shi and Song mei ling had their villa built there.

Longmen grotto has become a  a great treasure  for us .all the carving are showing us some chinese buddhism and the fact of their destroying and building  repeatedly later .
