Title: Identifying and Analyzing the Inscriptions of Past Dynasties in the Chentaisi Grottoes in Zhidan
Abstract: The area of Northern Shaanxi was first ruled by the Northern Song and later by the Jin when they defeated the Northern Song. The rulers of the Jin dynasty continued to support Buddhism and cave constructions. The Chengtaisi Grottoes in Zhidan is one of the large-scaled grottoes constructed in the Song and Jin dynasties and rebuilt in later times. There are at least sixty-five inscriptions from the Song, Jin, and Ming dynasties preserved today, which are of important research value. This paper attempts to identify these inscriptions one by one and analyze relevant information.
