The construction of Mogao Grottoes
During the period, according to Tang's "Li Ke Restalistic Mohon Cave Buddha Stele", in the second year of the Qin Dynasty (366 years), the monk Lezun Road passed the mountain and suddenly saw the golden light shining. The first cave was excavated. Since then, Master Farary and others have continued to build a hole here.
The later generations were called "Mogao Grottoes" because of "Mo" and "Mo". Another saying: Buddhism has a word, and the meritorious merits of the Buddhist cave are immeasurable. Mo, impossible, no, the meaning of Mogao Grottoes means that there is no higher cultivation than building Buddhist caves.
It during the Northern Wei Dynasty, Western Wei Dynasty, and Northern Zhou Dynasty, the ruler worshiped Buddhism, and the grottoes were supported by the princes and nobles, and developed rapidly.
In Sui and Tang dynasties, with the prosperity of the Silk Road, Mogao Grottoes were prosperous, and there were more than a thousand caves in Wu Zetian. After the Anshi Rebellion, Dunhuang was occupied by Tubo and the Return Army, but the statue activities were not much affected. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Xixia, and Yuan Dynasty, Mogao Grottoes gradually declined.
The Dunhuang stopped opening after the Yuan Dynasty, and gradually left deserted. In the seventh year of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (1528), the Jia was closed
in the Yutanto, making Dunhuang a place for border. In the 57th year of the Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1718), Xinjiang was settled. In the first year of Yongzheng (1723), the Shazhou Institute was set up in Dunhuang. In three years (1725), Shazhouwei was changed. In the 25th year of Qianlong (1760), Shazhou Wei was changed to Dunhuang County, and the Dunhuang economy began to recover. Mogao Grottoes began to be noticed.
