Historical evolution
The Qianfo Cave in Bozikrik is located on the cliff of the West Bank of Mugou, 45 kilometers east of Turpan City, under the Flame Mountain. There are 83 caves and 57 caves. Among them, there are more than 40 murals with a total area of 1200 square meters. They are the largest caves and the richest murals in the existing Grottoes in Turpan. They are one of the larger Buddhist grotto temple sites in Xinjiang. The Qianfo Cave in Bozikrik experienced a process of formation, prosperity and decline. Grottoes 17 and 18 were excavated in the late period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the 617th century. Cave 16 was excavated in the Middle Tang Dynasty. The mural of Cave 20 depicts the Uighur King Gaochang and the Queen. On the back wall of Cave 33, there is an expression of the intention of silent mourning of disciples after Buddha's Nirvana. Cave 38 is a cave that reflects the life scene of ancient Manichaeism. Cave 51 was built in Gaochang period of Uighur. Cave 69 is the cave in Cave 20. Grottoes 82 and 83 were small memorial caves built for Buddhist monks during the powerful period of Gaochang Uighur Kingdom in the 10th and 11th centuries A.D.
Bozikrik Thousand Buddha Cave, which was excavated in the late Northern and Southern Dynasties, has gone through seven centuries of long years in Tang, Five Dynasties, Song and Yuan Dynasties. It has been the Buddhist center in Gaochang area. Gaochang is the most prosperous period of grottoes. At the end of the 13th century, the Gaochang royal family moved eastward to Yongchang, Gansu Province. With the introduction of Islam into Turpan, Buddhism declined and the Bozikrik Thousand Buddha Cave declined. At the beginning of this century, they were repeatedly robbed and destroyed by Russian, German, British and Japanese powers. All the eyes of murals were dug out. The thousand Buddha cave in Bozikrik was worse than ever. Despite serious damage, the remaining Buddha seats are gorgeous and exquisite, and the remaining murals are rich in content and bright in color. The Bozikrik Thousand Buddha Cave is still a huge treasure house of culture and art. In 1982, it was declared by the State Council as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

There are more than ten grottoes and temples in Turpan, jointly known as Gaochang Grottoes, and Guizi Grottoes in Xinjiang. The Zhongyuan Grottoes, represented by Dunhuang Grottoes and Yungang Longmen Grottoes, and the Ajiantao Grottoes, India's largest grottoes, are equally famous. Gaochang Grottoes are one of the four representatives of Buddhist grotto art in the world.
The Bozikrik Grottoes are the most existing grottoes and the most abundant murals in Gaochang Grottoes. It used to be the Royal monastery of Gaochang Uighur Kingdom. In 1982, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.
The Bozikrik Grottoes are located on the West Bank of Mugou River, a gorge of Flame Mountain, about 40 kilometers northeast of Turpan, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
"Bozikrik" means "hillside" in Uygur. Grottoes are scattered on the cliffs within a kilometer of the West Bank of the valley. They are built in three layers. There are 83 existing grottoes, including more than 40 murals. The total area of murals preserved is 1200 square meters. In 1982, it was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Bozikrik Grottoes began to be excavated in Gaochang State (499-640). Caves 18, 29 and 48 belong to this period. Cave No. 18 is a large cave with a central pillar. It is the earliest cave in the cave group that can see the contents of the murals clearly. The front chamber, the tunnel and the lower part of the tunnel were repaired and painted in the early period of Gaochang Uighur State. Only the upper part and the top of the tunnel completely preserved the contents of the early murals, i.e. the four-style FLAT-BASE pattern of painting, with a round collar and shoulder-style robe painted on the side wall, and the gesture of holding hands in front of the belly was different. At the junction of the top and the side walls, purlin and Fang are painted with realistic techniques.
After the development of Gong's Gaochang kingdom, Baizhilike was named Ningrong Temple in Tang Xizhou period. It was an important Buddhist Temple center in Xinjiang and had long been famous. The fact that most of the Beiting Grottoes protected Yang Xigu and rebuilt monasteries shows that the Bozikrik Grottoes had developed into a Buddhist holy place in Xiting area at that time. There are 16, 17, 25, 27, 31, 42 and 69 caves belonging to this period. A considerable part of the above caves were redrawn after the 11th century. During this period, murals mainly originated from large-scale classical paintings in the Central Plains. The new painting style of the flourishing Tang Dynasty entered the Gaochang Grottoes, pushing the artistic skills of line modelling to the peak. The lines of the pictures are concise, smooth, powerful, few strokes and both physical and spiritual.
During the period of Gaochang Uighur Kingdom, Ningrong Temple became the Wangjia Temple, where most of the Gaochang kings built caves. The Bozikrik Grottoes are the most abundant relics of the Gaochang Uighur Period. There are 14, 20, 31, 33, 39, 41 and 82 Grottoes which are typical of this period. Frescoes are more abundant than before. There are various Bodhisattva statues, large-scale alterations, narrative pictures, thousand Buddha caves, offering Bodhisattva ranks, eight tianlong, four great heavenly kings, offering people and offering monks and various decorative patterns, and there are innumerable sincere offerings of Buddha in his previous life.
