Ⅳ. Read the passage and finish the two tasks below.
The Longmen Grottoes(石窟): A Great Stone Treasure in China
The Longmen Grottoes are one of China's most important old cultural sites.
They sit in Luoyang, Henan Province. People call them a huge open-air museum full of stone carvings.
There are 2,345 small caves here. Visitors can see more than 100,000 stone statues, together with over 2,800 stone tablets(石碑) with old words on them. It is the world's biggest treasure house of stone carving art with so many statues.
People first started to carve the grottoes more than 1,500 years ago. It was before the year 493 AD, when Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei moved the country's capital to Luoyang. Workers kept making new carvings for more than 1,400 years. The work went through more than ten dynasties, so it has the longest building time among all grottoes around the world.
The grottoes are famous for wonderful Buddhist art(佛教艺术). The stone statues show how carving styles changed through different times. Statues from Northern Wei look thin and elegant. Those made in the Tang Dynasty look full and gentle. The most well-known work is the Grand Vairocana Buddha in Fengxian Temple. It stands 17.14 metres tall, with a soft, quiet smile. Lots of tourists call it the "Eastern Mona Lisa".
The Longmen Grottoes are not only beautiful but also very valuable for history and culture. It holds thousands of materials about old religions, arts and daily life.
