     At the time of Tang and Song Dynasty , the Mi Cang Dao is very prosperous. Through the Mi Cang Dao, people were able to get to the capital of Tang Dynasty, get to the western part of the country, and travel to the eastern part of Sichuan even to a wider area in the south of china. Therefore, the businessmen ,officials and scholars came to Ba Zhong from everywhere. Those who start to excavate the s and erect the statues, not only leave us a great mount of art treasures, but also provide us a lot of information of the religion , transportation, culture communication and economic situations. However, due to the inconvenience of transportation of Ba Zhong ,people know little about the Ba Zhong Grottoes. We hope the website will draw people’s attention and enhance the research and the cultural communication.
