六谷部=Six-Valley Clan; 陽暉谷=Yanghui Valley; 洪元谷大云寺=Dayun Temple in the Hongyuan Valley; 天梯山石窟=Tiantishan Grottoes; 倚坐彌勒佛=Maitreya Buddha sitting with legs down
This paper considers the Dayun Temple in the Hongyuan Valley recorded in the Book of Songs to be today’s Large-Buddha Cave of the Tiantishan Grottoes. The Song dynasty court patronized the Six-Valley Clan to renovate this temple, which was first built in the Tang dynasty, many times. The Large-Buddha Cave at the Tiantishan Grottoes should long have been called "Dayun Temple of Hongyuan Valley" during the Tang and Song dynasties.
