大同・云冈石窟：多元艺术融合

Datong · Yungang Grottoes: The Diverse Artistic Integration 

云冈石窟开凿于北魏，历经60多年建成，是首座皇家授权开凿的石窟。走进石窟，绚丽多彩的彩绘布满窟壁，色彩灵动。这里不仅有连绵的石窟佛像，还融合了印度、中西亚、希腊、罗马的艺术元素，见证了中华文明与世界文化的交流融合，是一座珍贵的艺术宝库。

Yungang Grottoes were carved during the Northern Wei Dynasty and took more than 60 years to complete. It was the first grotto authorized by the royal family for construction. Entering the grottoes, you can see colorful painted murals covering the walls, with vivid colors. Here, there are not only continuous grotto Buddha statues but also artistic elements from India, Central Asia, West Asia, Greece, and Rome. It witnesses the cultural exchange and integration between Chinese civilization and world culture, and is a precious art treasure house.

朔州・应县木塔：不倒传奇

Shuozhou · Yingxian Wooden Pagoda: The Unfallen Legend

应县木塔始建于1000年前，当时应州靠近宋辽边境。辽国的一个大家族为祈福和瞭望边境而建此塔。木塔全部由木材建造，从下仰望，斗拱如同绽放的莲花。它历经千年风雨、地震等灾害，依然屹立不倒，是中国古代建筑技艺的杰出代表，展现了古人高超的智慧。

Yingxian Wooden Pagoda was built 1,000 years ago. At that time, Yingzhou was close to the border between the Song and Liao dynasties. A large family in the Liao Dynasty built this pagoda to pray for blessings and keep watch over the border. The pagoda is entirely made of wood. Looking up from below, the brackets are like blooming lotus flowers. It has withstood thousands of years of wind, rain, earthquakes, and other disasters and still stands firmly. It is an outstanding representative of ancient Chinese architecture and demonstrates the superb wisdom of the ancients.
