介绍（中）	这幅描绘皇帝及其随行人员的姊妹作品（现藏于堪萨斯城纳尔逊-阿特金斯艺术博物馆）与一幅描绘皇帝及其随从的姊妹作品一起，曾经装饰在河南省洛阳市附近龙门建筑群的中央滨阳洞（也称为 3 号洞）。它位于东北墙的中央，在上面一群保护性的半神和下面的叙事辩论场景之间。玄武下令建造中央滨阳洞，以纪念他的父亲孝文帝（471-99年在位）和他的母亲温州太后（卒于494年）;因此，浮雕中的皇帝和皇后被认为指的是他的父母。一个身穿宫廷服装，手持流苏警棍的人物带领游行队伍。他身后跟着一个身穿铠甲的矮小身影，另一个站在皇帝面前，手里拿着香炉。这些树最初表示游行队伍绕过拐角的点，从北墙到东墙。几位侍从手持莲花或其他鲜花和供品，整个游行可以理解为在洞穴中供养佛陀，这是一种将永远持续下去并改善参与者来世的功德行为。
介绍（英）	Together with a companion piece showing an empress and her attendants (now in the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City), this depiction of an emperor and his entourage once adorned the Central Binyang Cave (also known as Cave 3) in the Longmen complex, near Luoyang, in Henan province. It was positioned centrally on the northeast wall between a group of protective semidivinities above and a narrative debate scene below. Xuanwu commissioned the construction of the Central Binyang Cave in honor of his father, the emperor Xiaowen (r. 471–99), and his mother, the dowager Wenzhou (d. 494); the emperor and empress in the reliefs are therefore believed to refer to his parents. A figure wearing court garments and holding a tasseled baton leads the procession. He is followed by a smaller figure wearing armor and another who stands before the emperor, holding an incense burner. The trees originally indicated the point at which the procession moved around a corner, from the north to the east wall. Several of the attendants hold lotuses or other flowers and offerings, and the entire procession can be understood as making offerings to the Buddhas in the cave, an act of merit making that would continue in perpetuity and improve the future lives of the participants.
