The subject matters of the Baisha Frescoes are an integration of Tibetan Buddh9ism, the Han region Buddhism, and Taoism and their artistic style is a trinity of the Tibetan, the Han, and the Naxi paintings. These mural paintings, with fine and smooth lines, gorgeous and steady colors, exact and vivid shapings as well as balanced and harmonious compositions and imposing manners, are rich in decorative charms and they not only take an important place in the history of the Chinese mural paintings but also prove to be brilliant gems of the world cultural heritages."
