With its own system and unique sculpture art language, it reveals various laws and rules of sculpture art creation. Before it, the grotto art mostly retained the elements of Gandhara and Maduro art, while Longmen Grottoes inherited the Indian grotto art, followed the Yungang grotto style, and combined with the advanced and profound Han history and culture of Luoyang in Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties. Therefore, from the very beginning, the sculpture art of Longmen Grottoes has been integrated with the understanding and strong pursuit of the national aesthetic consciousness and form, which makes the art of grottoes present the trend of Chinese and secularization, which can be regarded as the “milestone” to show the art transformation of Chinese grottoes.
