History of Maijishan Grottoes
The history of Maijishan Grottoes can date back to 2000 years ago. They were built in the post-Qin Dynasty (384-417). Daxing was developed during the period of Emperor Yuan and Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Emperor Xiaowen reigned in the first year (477). After the death of Emperor Yifu Family (Queen Yifu) of the Emperor Yuanbao Torch of the Western Wei Dynasty, Mai Jiya was dug here for burial. During the Baoding, Tianhe years of the Northern Zhou Dynasty (561-572), Qinzhou Governor Li Yunxin built the Seven Buddha Pavilion for his dead father. In the first year (601) of Emperor Sui Wen Emperor Renshou built a tower of "Buried God Niseli" in Maiji Mountain. After the continuous excavation and expansion of the Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, he became a famous grotto group in China one. Around the 22nd year of Tang Kaiyuan (734 years), because of a strong earthquake, the central part of the cliff face of Maijishan Grottoes collapsed, and the cave group was divided into two parts, east and west cliffs.
