The Thousand-Buddha Cave in Qizil has not only a large number of pictures to publicize Buddhist teachings, but also a true portrayal of animal husbandry, hunting, farming, horse riding and ancient buildings.

There are two famous murals in the right passage of the central column in Cave 175. In the picture of "two cows carrying poles", I saw two fat and strong old cows, bowing their heads and swinging their tails, lifting a stick together and struggling to pull the plow forward. The farmer behind the plow is concentrating on plowing, with a whip in one hand and a plow in the other.

Adjacent to this picture, there is also a farming picture. A farmer with a small hat and shorts on his head, holding a hoe-like digging tool "Kantuman" in his hand, made a gesture of digging hard down.

This map of cultivated land in "Two Cows Carrying Bars" is exactly the same as the scene of plowing in rural areas of Xinjiang at the beginning of liberation. The vivid pictures have made Chinese and foreign scholars admire Gu Qiuci's realistic techniques.
