Dunhuang History

About This Novel

This is a popular book on Dunhuang history and culture for general readers. This is a history of Dunhuang and half a history of China; this is a history of Dunhuang that starts from the grottoes, and it is also a history of China that starts from Dunhuang. The author follows the timeline of time and tells the important figures and stories related to Dunhuang in various periods, while incorporating the latest academic progress. Dunhuang, how the border areas were incorporated into the empire's territory; how Dunhuang, the cultural and trade center, was formed; how Dunhuang became a super cultural tourism IP; Dunhuang, how the fate of the little people turned out, and how the ambitions of the big people were displayed; Dunhuang, how the people's lives and beliefs continued, and how the empire's great achievements were managed miserably. Dunhuang, originally the edge of the empire, became the center of the world in a unique way. When we use Dunhuang on the edge as an anchor point to look back on the past, we can suddenly discover a completely different historical context. Dunhuang art attracts tourists from all over the world with its shocking sculptures and murals; Feitian, Thousand-Hand Guanyin, and Nine-Colored Deer have become the most distinctive business cards of Chinese culture. But when we put all of this in the course of history, how should we understand it? Dunhuang Studies, as the most important academic trend since the 20th century, has already rewritten the research process of many disciplines. However, the cognitive update of the academic frontier is still far away from the public. Now, finally, there is a book that tells us all this in a popular way.
