The '''Longmen Grottoes''', located near Luoyang, [[Henan Province]], are a treasure house of ancient [[Buddhist]] cave art. The grottos were hewed and carved during the Northern Wei Dynasty (386-534), when the rulers relocated their capital at Luoyang near the end of the 5th century. At that time [[Buddhism]] was spreading east into [[China]] and was venerated by the imperial court. The Buddhists adopted the practice of carving rock temples, dedicated to the Buddha.
