Features: The rulers of the Sui Dynasty placed great importance on Buddhism, and activities such as carving caves, building temples, writing scriptures, and creating statues were highly encouraged. The cave temples of the Sui Dynasty were distributed in the northern Central Plains region, which can be divided into two areas: one centered around the city of Ye in the eastern region, and the other being the Mogao Caves in Dunhuang.
