This manuscript takes the works of local Dunhuang writers as the research object, and examines the life and creation situations of Dunhuang writers in various periods from the fifth to the eleventh century. From Li Hao's Xiliang regime during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, to the period when Tubo ruled Dunhuang, and then to the period of Dunhuang rebels, it presents the progressive development process of Dunhuang local literature in a three-dimensional manner. There are many typical case studies, from the Li Hao Literary Group, to the study of the 72 poems that trapped Tibet in Volume P.2555 Of Dunhuang Posthumous Letters and the political pattern of the northwest during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, to the overall study of local Dunhuang writers such as Wu Zhen and Daozhen during the period of the Yijun. This manuscript has a unique perspective and novel viewpoints, showing the exchanges and connections between Dunhuang regional literature and Central Plains literature from the fifth to the eleventh century, and fully revealing the status and value of Dunhuang writers' works in the history of Chinese literature. This manuscript is based on the works of local Dunhuang writers, recreating the status of Dunhuang literary creation at that time, and reconstructing the historical position from individual Dunhuang writers to the entire group of Dunhuang writers at that time.
