Located on the west bank of the West Jialing River in Guangyuan, Sichuan Province, and the east side of Wulong Mountain, Huangze Temple (皇澤寺摩崖造像) was built to memorize Li Bing and Er Lang. The temple today was renovated during the Qing Dynasty. The first grotto began construction during the later North Wei Dynasty and completed during the Tang Dynasty, for a span of more than 300 years. Now it has 57 caves with more than 1,200 statues. These stone statues play a very important role in research on ancient China’s religious beliefs and the spread of Buddhism. Huangze Temple also has other stone carvings depicting the planting of mulberry, raising silkworms and reeling silk in the Qing Dynasty in 10 pictures.
