South Binyang Cave (Chinese language|ch. 宾阳南洞) is cave number 159 at the Longmen Grottoes near Luoyang, Henan, China. Initiated by order of Emperor Xuanwu of Northern Wei China|Emperor Xuanwu of the Northern Wei in honour of his parents Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei China|Emperor Xiaowen and Empress Wenzhao of Northern Wei China|Empress Wenzhao, the cave was not completed until the Sui Dynasty|Sui. The main image is an Amitabha which is said to represent the transition of solemn and majestic Northern Wei sculpture in to the more life-like style of the Tang Dynasty|Tang.
