There are only four cultural systems in the world with a long history, vast territory, self-contained system, and far-reaching influence: China, India, Greece, islam, and there is no fifth; there is only one place where these four cultural systems converge, that is, China's Dunhuang and Xinjiang regions, and there is no second.
Dunhuang has been a very rich cultural shrine since ancient times, and it is difficult to imagine that in such an arid area there is such a prosperous civilization scene, especially the grottoes of Dunhuang, which have carved China's brilliant past on the stone.
This time I came to the museum in Dunhuang, and because the oriental murals could not be photographed, we had to take more pictures of the outside scenes for everyone to see.
We all know the vividness of the Dunhuang murals, and the museum also has the display of ore raw materials at that time Seeing the following picture, you can't imagine why the murals can be so colorful.
In the museum of Dunhuang, we can also learn a lot... As the center and transit point of trade between the East and the West, the history books call Dunhuang the "first metropolis", where western merchants And Hu and Han merchants from the Central Plains engaged in silk and porcelain from the Central Plains, treasures from the Western Regions, camel horses from the North, and traded with local grain.

As an Oriental World Art Museum and one of the most important world cultural heritages in China, Mogao Grottoes treasures 735 caves, more than 2,400 painted statues, and more than 45,000 square meters of murals, each of which is a treasure of human civilization.
How sculpture is made
In the museum, we can also learn how the sculptures are made, in fact, all the Buddha statues are made of wooden skeletons.
When you come to dunhuang museum, you will know what cultural self-confidence is. The history of the Mogao Caves is far longer than the Louvre, and its artistic achievements far exceed the pyramids and the ancient Colosseum. In front of 735 caves, 2,415 painted sculptures, and 45,000 m murals, a thousand years old, re-seen the Tang Dynasty, but in a blink of an eye. Less crowd barriers, "flying", "rebound pipa", "nine-colored deer", the most brilliant side of traditional Chinese art is nearly a late ruler, and that is only one-ten-thousandth of the murals of Mogao Grottoes, but it does not prevent us from understanding that sentence from now on: "Look at the Mogao Grottoes, not to see the specimens that have been dead for a thousand years, but to see the life that has lived for a thousand years."
The charm of Dunhuang has traveled through time and space, just like a world of flowers and flowers that travel through time and space. The Mogao Caves have experienced thousands of years of suffering in the raging wind and sand. I believe that in the future, this thousand-year past can become the eternal memory of this planet.
Grottoes of all sizes are dotted along the Hexi Corridor, so it is called the "Grotto Art Corridor." Desert smoke, border plug beacon, pepper and qiang flute, Silk Road camel bell... The existing ruins on the Hexi Corridor show everything that has happened in this land; with the passage of time, many of the ruins have disappeared into the Shuo Wind forever with the stories they carry
