My Dunhuang Complex and My Creative Series (2)

Dunhuang murals tell the story of a thousand-year-old culture and are a bright artistic pearl on the Silk Road. It is said that throughout the ages, not only many tourists but also many great artists have studied and copied murals in Dunhuang. It can be seen how important Dunhuang is in the history of archaeological art in China!

In fact, I like the vicissitudes of Dunhuang murals very much, with rich stories and heavy cultural beauty. It seems that when you stand in front of those murals, you feel the breath of them for thousands of years and feel the vivid history they show you that spans thousands of years. Although I haven't been to Dunhuang yet, I think I must go to Dunhuang once in my life, maybe more than once. So, in this way, I also have my own Dunhuang complex.

☆? Dunhuang deer bookmark?

Fairy deer or nine-color deer, one of the elements of Dunhuang mural culture, represents a kind of auspiciousness and hope.

Nine-color deer, the prototype is the deer king Bunsen, and the picture of the deer king Bunsen is the main theme of the mural in Cave 257 of Mogao Grottoes.

Imagine walking on a deserted and endless Gobi desert. If you look around, you will suddenly see a beautiful white deer, as if it had fallen from the sky. It is shining all over, pacing back and forth smartly, waiting for you to keep up with its footsteps. Then, bang, it immediately ran forward and took you to a place with green, life and hope. This feeling is like a lost ship drifting in the sea. When it sees the lighthouse, it instantly settles down and suddenly has hope.

It can be seen that hardship is not terrible, what is really terrible is the loss of hope.

Therefore, the image of "Lu Xian" is very popular. Lu Xian's three metal bookmarks are all made of copper. Exquisite design, each with its own merits. You can consider it if you like.

☆? A deer escaped from the mural.

Wenchuang of Oriental Secret Language, if I remember correctly, its name is very nice and poetic. However, our photographer Xiaomei was more naughty and renamed it "a deer that escaped from a mural", which was extremely vivid and interesting. Frankly speaking, I like the new name very much, hahaha.

This key chain is a very early creative work of Oriental Secret Language, and now it has gone offline. I really can't find out its specific size.

The object looks better than the picture. The deer on the key chain looks very smart, and the design and workmanship are very textured. I remember that I originally wanted to give it to my clients and friends, but I was reluctant to give it away after I got it, so I left a blue one for myself.

☆? Camel bookmark

This bookmark is a small gift brought back to me by a friend when he first traveled to Dunhuang. She knows that I like creative things. So I have always regarded this bookmark as a unique symbol of existence and friendship.

Actually, I don't think this bookmark is so beautiful. Frankly speaking, if I had a choice, I probably wouldn't choose this bookmark. The design is a bit ordinary.

But, I think, most of the time, what touches you is not how beautiful it is, or how good it is ... maybe the emotion related to it touches your heart in an instant, and you like it or are moved.

Therefore, I cherish this camel bookmark, my friend's heart.

☆? Dunhuang Postcards+Interesting Bookmarks

A set of 12 hand-painted postcards of Dunhuang mural elements, which is really an impression of Dunhuang and very interesting. No matter whether you have been to Dunhuang or not, you can accept it as a beautiful souvenir.

Interesting bookmark, probably a set of hand-painted postcards, bought on 20 18, I can't remember clearly. The hand-painted styles of the two look quite similar, so just scrape together.

So, I like all the above!
