Research on Dunhuang Studies in Contemporary China (1949-2019)

About This Novel

This book reviews the development of Dunhuang studies in China in four stages. The first stage is divided into two periods with 1930 as the boundary. That is, the first period was from 1909 to 1930, which was the period when Dunhuang studies emerged. The establishment of the People's Republic of China from 1931 to 1949 was the second period, which was characterized by a great increase in the Dunhuang documents that Chinese scholars had access to, and the research field also gradually expanded. The second stage (1949 to 1978) was divided into two periods starting from the "Cultural Revolution" in 1966. In the former period, the focus of research was on the mainland, while in the latter period, the focus of research shifted to Hong Kong and Taiwan. The third stage from the reform and opening up in 1978 to 2000 was a period of rapid development of Dunhuang studies in my country. Chinese scholars gradually changed the situation of "Dunhuang in China and Dunhuang studies in Japan" and finally took the lead and voice in international Dunhuang studies. The fourth stage (2001 to 2019) is the stage when my country's Dunhuang studies begin to transform. While continuing traditional topics, traditional methods, and paradigms, Chinese scholars began to explore new paradigms and new perspectives to open up new fields of Dunhuang studies. This book is written in the style of academic history, trying to analyze the achievements, characteristics and shortcomings of the works involved, and trying to show the status of the works involved in the relevant research process and academic context.
