Description

This comprehensive analysis offers the first-ever western-language examination of Yungang, a UNESCO World Heritage site and 5th-century rock-cut Buddhist monument of global significance. The volume explores the social art history of this impressive cave sanctuary, investigating why, when, and under what circumstances the complex was constructed, and identifying key figures across various stages of development. Recent economic expansion in China has triggered unprecedented archaeological discoveries on site and near the cave-chapels, unearthing objects that reshape our understanding of Yungang's cultural and religious importance. Routledge's scholarly work synthesises art history, archaeology, and liturgical study to provide definitive insight into one of Buddhism's greatest architectural achievements.
