Synopsis

When talking about Dunhuang art, most people's attention is focused on the painted sculptures, murals and unearthed documents of the Mogao Grottoes, but few people pay attention to the field of Dunhuang calligraphy. In fact, the Dunhuang calligraphy system composed of Dunhuang Han bamboo slip calligraphy, Zhang Zhi and Suo Jing cursive scripts, and Dunhuang Buddhist scripture calligraphy is also a radiant, magnificent and wonderful Chinese art. Its huge quantity, variety of calligraphy styles, profound skills, and long duration are equally breathtaking.

Reader comments

This book gave me a deeper understanding of Dunhuang calligraphy! In the past, I only knew about the murals in the Mogao Grottoes, but I didn't expect there to be such wonderful calligraphy. Just like the relationship between my boyfriend and I, from sweetness on the surface to surprise after getting to know each other deeply. This book also reminds me of "Lanting Preface", both of which are treasures of Chinese calligraphy. And calligraphy, like love, requires time and energy to cultivate in order to show its most beautiful appearance. This book by Teacher Qin Chuan really opened my eyes!
