CHINA-GUANGXI-CHONGZUO-ROCK PAINTING (CN)

(230809) -- NINGMING, Aug. 9, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Aug. 8, 2023 shows a part of Huashan rock paintings depicting a ceremony in Ningming County, Chongzuo City, south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Zuojiang Huashan site is home to more than 1,900 well-preserved drawings on the face of the Huashan mountains along the Zuojiang River and its tributary Mingjiang River in Chongzuo. The brownish red paintings, created from the Warring States Period (475-221 BC) to East Han Dynasty (25-220), depict the sacrifices of the Luoyue people, ancestors of today's Zhuang ethnic minority. It is said that the major images of the paintings are frog-shaped people -- a totem of the Zhuang ethnic group. Some of those paintings also show sports scenes. It remains a mystery how the Luoyue managed to paint on the rocks. The group of rock paintings was included into UNESCO's world heritage list in 2016. (Xinhua/Zhang Ailin)
