Kumutura Thousand Buddha Caves

introduce

There are 112 numbered caves in Kuqa County, a grotto group with many existing caves.

The Kumutura Grottoes were excavated around the 4th century AD. Cave 46, Yingzi Jataka, uses thicker lines to outline the outline, and the interior is painted flat with ocher, which has a strong three-dimensional effect. The mourning Bodhisattva in the remaining "Nirvana Transformation" in Cave 32 has round and firm lines, smooth and soft, full of rhythm, and is a representative work of "Qu Tie Pan Si" style lines.

In the Kumutura Grottoes, there are many murals in the Tang Dynasty. It is relatively close to Central Plains art in terms of content and painting style. There are large-scale sutra story paintings such as "Western Pure Land", "Oriental Pharmacist", "Fahua" and "Maitreya". At the same time, many of the murals in this period are the product of the combination of Central Plains and Kucha painting styles. Cave 36 Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, in the same painting, the lines are tight and round in some places, and the lines in others are of the same thickness, with thin smudges applied to make the figure appear tall and elegant. The characters in the murals in Qiucha are vivid and graceful, which to a certain extent show the civilized demeanor of the ancient Qiucha people.

I asked the local travel agency in Kuqa, and they said that they only accept visits with more than 5 people. Tickets are 500 yuan per person, and guardianship fees are 300 yuan per batch. Ask at the ticket office of the Kizil Grottoes, and they say it is not open; ask the guide of the Kucha Research Institute in the cave, and they say it is always open, but you need to make an appointment online.

The scale and exquisiteness of Kumtura Thousand Buddha Caves seem to be better than Kizil Thousand Buddha Caves, but about half of the grottoes and statues are still destroyed due to historical and human factors, but the remaining parts still have high cultural relics and cultural relics. Cultural Value.

The door is not open during the 11th, and it is not at the address defined by Ctrip. On the way to Xinhe County on National Highway 314, I saw a sign turning left to Xinhe and went straight, beside the Weigan River. Across the river, you can take pictures of the vista.

After running dozens of kilometers, I realized that it is not open when I arrived at the scenic spot. I was depressed. I didn’t open it and didn’t mark it. The tourist experience is poor.
