What was the process of creating Maijishan Grottoes?

Maijishan Grottoes are located in the mountains about 40 kilometers southeast of Tianshui City, Gansu Province. Due to the excavation of the peak of the grottoes, the ground rises like a wheat pile, hence the name. The Biography of Monks in Liang Gao once recorded that Shi lived in seclusion in Maijishan during the early Song Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, and at the same time he also preached here, indicating that Maijishan had a Buddhist temple as early as the early 5th century. Therefore, the establishment of Maijishan Buddha Cave may be in the Sixteen Kingdoms period before the Northern Dynasties.

Maijishan's rocks are soft, so like the conglomerate in Xinjiang and Dunhuang, it is not suitable for carving Buddha statues, but only for clay sculptures. Only a few caves have stone statues or statues, and their stones are obviously shipped from other places.
