Dazu Stone Carving, situated in Dazu County, Chongqing, is a general name for religious grotto arts since the Tang and Song dynasties, one of China’s three most famous grotto groups — Yungang, Longmen and Dazu. Dazu’s stone carvings are known for their combination of both beautiful forms and exact expression of meaning, stories are told in such a way that readers are always deeply touched by their reasoning, sentiment, attraction of happy life and dread of punishment after death, never tired of reading. So delicately carved out of rocks, the grottos prove to be a rare treasure with Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism woven together.
