(IS5110 2024) The Longmen Grottoes

The Longmen Grottoes, listed as a World Cultural Heritage site by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), are famous for their fantastic stone carvings. It is located in Luoyang, Henan province, China, with a history spanning thousands of years. These grottoes reflect the ancient royal will and behavior, strongly embodying the characteristics of the national religion. Therefore, the Longmen Grottoes provide significant political perspectives for us to research a particular Chinese historical period. Moreover, it is also valuable for researchers to study ancient Chinese calligraphy, painting, clothing, and architecture. Currently, Augmented Reality technology can “restore” some damaged Buddha statues, allowing visitors to appreciate the complete and beautiful statues. This contributes to the target 4.7 of SDG 4 (Quality Education), enabling people to appreciate the beautiful stone carving art, understand the culture behind it, and enhance the ability to appreciate cultural diversity.
