Dunhuang studies

Traveling along the Silk Road, the scenery along the way is worthy of nostalgia, but what is more worth preserving is the cultural heritage. It may be boring, but the scenery without history and culture is always more flashy and less heavy. I have to say, "Read thousands of books and take Wan Li Road." I gained a lot this afternoon.

Sculpture art is an important part of Dunhuang. The Japanese call "sculpture" "sculpture", while Europeans use several words that are not very similar to describe this art. Therefore, throughout the world, only China people can perfectly interpret the charm of this art. ..

Sculpture, as its name implies, is a combination of sculpture and plastic. The clay sculpture art is also the foundation of all sculptures. Whether it is bronze sculpture or pottery sculpture, it is inseparable from the support of clay sculpture. Perhaps this is also the soul of sculpture-from some humble things, after careful carving, it will become remarkable. Sculpture is such a process, it does not pay attention to results, but to feelings. Perhaps this is also the reason why Dunhuang sculpture art can be spread to this day.

Of course, it is very important not to see the whole leopard at a glance. Sculpture is just the tip of the iceberg. Dunhuang is also rich in historical details. The migration from Huoshaogou culture to Sanmiao clan reveals the long history of Dunhuang culture. This also makes Dunhuang, a small town located in the hinterland of the desert, attractive.

What makes me respect Dunhuang culture is not the sculpture art of Dunhuang, nor the long history of Dunhuang, but the origin of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Perhaps, some people will say that the Mogao Grottoes were just made by a few craftsmen. But I don't think so. The Mogao Grottoes not only came in this way, but also gathered the most elite forces of that era. The Mogao Grottoes "began in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, flourished in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and ended in the Yuan Dynasty." The origin of Mogao Grottoes makes me admire the perseverance of the ancients.

The inheritance of Dunhuang culture has a long way to go. Today, Dunhuang culture may be gradually submerged in yellow sand. However, two people have been trying to pass on these cultures for decades. It is Mr. Du and his teacher who are giving lectures today. Perhaps, "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high", let's act together and continue to inherit these cultures.
