镶嵌在黄河北岸积石山大寺沟西侧峭壁上的炳灵寺石窟，始建于西秦建弘元年，展现了中国石窟早、中、晚期壁画和塑像的发展演变过程，是中国早期石窟寺的代表之一。
Bingling Temple Grottoes, embedded on the cliff on the west side of Dasigou in Jishi Mountain on the north bank of the Yellow River, were first built in the Jianhong Year of the Western Qin Dynasty. They showcase the evolution of murals and sculptures from the early, middle, to late periods of Chinese grotto art and are one of the representatives of early grotto temples in China.
