Gongyi Dual Heritage: Stone Carvings Hide History, Song Tombs Embody Spirit. By the banks of the Heluo River, Gongyi hides two thousand-year-old treasures. The Northern Wei statues in Grotto Temple are exquisite, and the "Emperor and Empress Worshiping Buddha" mural witnesses cultural integration, making it an immortal monument of stone carving art; the "Seven Emperors and Eight Tombs" of the Song Dynasty are grand in scale, with thousands of stone carvings standing quietly, showing the rituals and elegance of the Northern Song Dynasty. Wandering here, you can touch the temperature of history, feel the profoundness and splendor of Central Plains culture, and embark on a millennium-spanning date with civilization.
The "Center of Heaven and Earth" Historical Building Complex in Dengfeng includes 8 sites with 11 historical buildings, such as Zhougong's Gnomon and Observatory, Songyue Temple Pagoda, Taishi Que and Zhongyue Temple, Shaoshi Que, Qimu Que, Songyang Academy, Huishan Temple, and Shaolin Temple Complex (including the Main Courtyard, Pagoda Forest and Chuzu An). Spanning the Han, Wei, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, it forms an intuitive architectural history of the Central Plains region of China over 2,000 years. It is one of the ancient building complexes in China with the longest time span, the most types of buildings and the richest cultural connotation, and a true reflection of the unique cosmology and aesthetic view of the ancient Chinese people.
