The grottoes contain over 100,000 Buddhist statues and carvings. The works of humans and nature have been harmoniously unified and the landscapes possess high integrity. The two sculptural art styles, the earlier “Central China Style” and the later “Great Tang Style” had great influence within the country and throughout the world, and have made important contributions to the development of the sculptural arts in other Asian countries. The sculptures and reliefs were created over a period of several centuries and represent a blend of Chinese and Indian Buddhist artistic traditions. The Longmen Grottoes have been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000 for their “outstanding artistic value” and their “testimony to the cultural tradition of Buddhist influence in China.” Digital technology has been used to enhance the preservation and accessibility of the Longmen Grottoes. For example, people use 3D scanning and printing technology that allowed for the creation of detailed replicas of the sculptures, which can be used for study and display purposes. 316 AD sc428 Site 750 06/05/2023 05/06/2023 07:59:42 pm https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1003/ cm x cm x cm current,34.49863451269174,112.47573849745096; Util now Archaeological 13 Longmenzhong Street, Luolong District, Luoyang City, Henan Province, 471023, China 1630 Longmen Grottoes World Heritage Site Management Committee sc428@st-andrews.ac.uk Longmen Grottoes https://www.lmsk.org.cn/home/ TEXT
