"Yungang: 1500 Years of Humanity and Grottoes" is a historical non-fiction work about the Yungang Grottoes and the Yungang people of all generations. It tells a story about "human faith" and "human engineering". "Fifteen hundred years ago, people devoutly vowed to build a supreme Buddhist kingdom on the giant rock of Lingshan Mountain." During the Northern Wei Dynasty, with the support of Emperor Wencheng, Tan Yao presided over the excavation and construction of the Yungang Grottoes. During the period of Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Dowager Feng, the construction of grottoes became more and more prosperous, but gradually declined in the late Northern Wei Dynasty. The Yungang Grottoes have been abandoned and rebuilt many times, and even once withstood severe tests of theft. It was not until modern times that archaeologists paid attention again, and more national treasures were prevented from wandering overseas. This book combs through the history of Yungang Grottoes, and also tells the stories of countless Yungang people: Mr. Su Bai, the founder of Yungang Studies in China, who took back the academic initiative in one fell swoop; Hang Kan, the guardian of Yungang and the president of Yungang Research Institute who bravely opened up a new track; the new generation of scholars who use ancient architectural ideas to restore the construction of the Grottoes Peng Minghao, the cultural relic doctors who protect the grottoes, and the digital collectors who work hard to leave the grottoes as they are today... Human beings are the measure of all things and the core of civilization. Yungang not only shows the world the beauty of grotto art that spans thousands of years, but also demonstrates the beauty of human nature that uses a short life to connect to eternity.
