Buddhist murals were found on the inner walls and top and both sides outside the door of the stone chamber in Xing Hejiang’s tomb of the Northern Wei Dynasty in Tongjiawan Village, simulating the dharma hall or dharma-hall cave that as worship places. Door guardians were painted on both outer sides of the chamber door. The Buddha Shakyamuni and Prabhutaratna, and other buddhas aside were painted at the center of the worship space-the main wall of the inner chamber, highlighting the belief in the Lotus Sutra and its dharma view. Buddhist figures are also on the left and right walls of the inner chamber. Finally, on the top of the front wall, the Seven Buddhas function as witnesses of worshipers who show reverence and adoration for buddhas, two tomb-guarding beasts decorated below. The composition and painting techniques of the stone chamber murals are closely related to the Western Qin murals in Cave 169 of the Bingling Temple, and the motif prototype may originate from Chang’an. Moreover, the murals also show elements of grotto murals of the Liangzhou system and even have the Western Regions influence, fully reflecting the frequent communication and close relationship of the Buddhist culture between the Silk Road and the Pingcheng areas.
