The Matishi Grottoes, located in Sunan County, Zhangye City, Gansu Province, were excavated during the Beiliang Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. The Maxi Grottoes, one of the “Three Art Treasures of Hexi Buddhist Sacred Sites” with a history of more than 1,600 years, are an important relic of the collision and symbiosis of multiple cultures on the Silk Road and provide valuable physical evidence of the history of the fusion of civilizations over thousands of years.
When you enter Matisi Cave, you will find murals from the Northern Dynasty facing the south side of the central pillar of Cave 1 of the Thousand Buddha Cave.壁画下方的“梨车”捐赠者的题词极为珍贵。 According to Wang Yaling, head of the tour guide department, the title “Men and Women in Pear-Colored Cars Come to Make Offerings” comes from a Buddhist classic.这是工匠们挖掘当时经典内容的艺术创作特德和彩绘壁画。记者看到，北朝内壁上隐藏着“梨车”捐赠者的题字。 Behind the donor, dressed in a red robe and holding a pot, his writing is still clearly legible despite having been eroded by the elements over thousands of years.
在中国佛教壁画中，标题中明确出现“梨转轮”施主的情况极为罕见。 This title not only provides valuable clues for studying the spread of Buddhist classics in the Hexi region and the evolution of the localization of Buddhist art during the Northern Dynasty period, but also confirms the importance of the ancient Silk Road as a link between civilizations. The side by side prayers depicted on the mural form a vivid representation of the various cultural elementsis that they participate in the Covenant of Faith and speak of the cultural resonances of thousands of years ago. （记者高英）
