Tayao Cave (Grotto 39) Review

The pagoda cave cave is located on the west side of Datong Yungang Grottoes, which belongs to the caves dug in the late Northern Wei Dynasty (end of the fifth century AD). The scale is not large. The stone carvings of the Buddha statues have been completely Chineseized and closer to ordinary people.

Late Yungang Grottoes are mainly concentrated in Grottoes 21~45, including Grottoes 4 in the eastern region and Grottoes 14 and 15 in the central region. Grottoes 39 are also called Tayao Caves, which are the largest caves in the western caves. The cave doors are arched and decorated with honeysuckle grains. Two bright windows are opened above the caves. The central five-level tower is 6 meters high. The square tower is opened on all sides of each floor, and the statues are made in each. The square columns with harvest points are carved between the walls and cages. The wide height between each floor is smaller than the lower floor, and the stable and beautiful. The accurate engraving and complete preservation of tower pillar building components is an important data for studying the early pagodas in China.
