Carving in China

The Baodingshan rock carvings are part of the Dazu rock carvings, a series of Chinese religious sculptures and carvings located in Dazu District, Chongqing, China. The carvings date back as far as the 7th century AD, depicting and influenced by Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist beliefs. Some are in rock-cut cave shrines, in the usual Chinese Buddhist style, but many others are rock reliefs carved into the open rock faces. The Dazu rock carvings are listed as a World Heritage Site.

The Baodingshan rock carvings can be found about 15 kilometers to the northeast of Dazu. Work on the carvings started in the Northern Song Dynasty. The main area is a 500 meters long and 8-25 meters high U-shaped cliffside. It is made up of 13 groups of figures, totaling nearly 10,000 stone figures.
