| 説明 | The Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves, carved out of cliffs in the Mutou Valley below the Flaming Mountains [red and hot], were the Buddhist center of the ancient city of Gaochang. The cave interiors contain Buddha murals. The surviving caves primarily date from the Uighur Kingdom of Qocho. (Buddhism was the first religion from abroad introduced to the area, initially spreading into China along this northern branch of the Silk Road in the 4th and 5th centuries CE. Religious diversity was the norm until the 10th century CE when the Uighur ruler of Kashgar, the western-most city in China, converted to Islam which would continue to expand across Central Asia.)In the early 20th century CE the German explorer Albert von Le Coq removed many wall paintings and other artifacts to Berlin.Gaochang started as a garrison town in the 1st century BCE, becoming a key oasis stop along the northern Silk Road until the city was destroyed by the Muslim Mongols of the Chagatai Khanate in the early 14th century CE. The city was the capital of the Uighur Kingdom of Qocho (Kara-Khoja Kingdom, 856-1335 CE).Gaochang is located in the Turpan (Turfan, Tulufan) Depression which is entirely below sea level and includes the fourth lowest point on earth at -154m/-505ft. The area is the hottest and driest in China.The Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang'an-Tianshan Corridor were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2014. (Chang'an, now Xi'an, is in eastern China and Tianshan is a system of mountain ranges in the border region of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Xinjiang Autonomous Region in Northwest China.)[The term ‘Silk Road’ was coined in 1877 by German geographer Ferdinand von Richthofen. The Silk Road contributed not only to the exchange of goods and technologies, but also to the mutual enrichment of cultures and traditions of different peoples. Direct maritime trade between Europe and the Far East ultimately supplanted the overland route.]On Google Earth:Bezeklik Thousand Buddha Caves 42°57'21.00"N, 89°32'22.00"EGaochang 42°51'10.00"N, 89°31'45.00"E |
