Octogenarian Guo Xiangying was recently honored as one of Chongqing's Top 10 Inspirational Figures for more than five decades of dedication to preserving and promoting the Dazu Rock Carvings, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The Dazu Rock Carvings comprise 144 grottoes, 50,000 statues, and 100,000 inscriptions that reflect the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist influences that flourished from the early Tang Dynasty (618-907) to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). It is considered an essential part of the history of cave art in China, and was awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 1999.
