As the first monumental work of Dunhuang based on the style of fiction, "Dunhuang Benji" is a magnificent work and a magnificent book full of western spiritual and cultural symbols.

The whole work is rich in meaning, open in meteorology, full of juice, full of vitality and full of tension, which greatly enriches the geographical territory of contemporary Chinese literature and presents a new artistic experience. Some critics say that the Hexi Corridor has this "Dunhuang Benji", just as there was a "White Deer Plain" in the Guanzhong Plain.

"Dunhuang culture is a beacon of our civilization, and this lamp also illuminates the land of Dunhuang and the people in this land. Ye Zhou is adhering to the mentality of piety and humility, and dedicates the Dunhuang Benji to the people of this land and the earth. The account of this book is majestic and majestic, and it matches the people of this earth. There are a total of 375 caves in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, and Ye Zhou is chiseling the 376th cave in his writing. At the seminar on Ye Zhou's novel "Dunhuang Benji" held in December 2019 at the China Writers Association and the launch ceremony and sharing of the hardcover edition of Ye Zhou's novel "Dunhuang Benji" held in Dunhuang in May 2021, Li Jingze, member of the party group and vice chairman of the China Writers Association, said. In recent years, the attention caused by "Dunhuang Benji" has continued to ferment, and the in-depth excavation of other art forms, including film and television dramas and stage plays, is also in progress.

Dunhuang, in Ye Zhou's discourse system, not only the Mogao Grottoes, but also the Hexi Corridor and even the entire Silk Road, is the "frontier of Chinese culture", the center of multiple cultures, and the "motif" of his writing. Over the years, Ye Zhou has always been writing about this land, the people on this land, and the life history of the people of the Great Northwest with a sincere and humble attitude.
