The world-famous art treasures of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and the ancient Silk Road, the people's attention towards western China. When the Hexi Corridor, the most western of Dunhuang came when the show in front of us the natural scenery and cultural landscape, the more colorful and beautiful of.
Submerged sand buried Guan City - Yang customs, the Customs on the Silk Road - Jade Gate, the old munitions warehouses - warehouses River City, the Han Dynasty Great Wall, the White Horse towers are located here, and more wonders of the desert and the world Mingsha First Spring Desert - Crescent Moon. Known to the world of the Mogao Grottoes, known more attracted visitors praise the tut.
This world is a treasure house of Buddhist art of the ancient Silk Road on a bright pearl in a century long history, it has been shining brilliantly.
The origin of caves dug particularly interesting. According to legend, Dunhuang has a statue of a monk named Yue, when his danger after three mountain when the mountain suddenly appear 10000 golden light, golden light on the three peaks into danger, "III, Buddha", chanting the Buddha surrounded by countless saying flying fairies dancing in the sky San Hua. He Dungan three golden mountain is a risk Buddhist spirit appeared and then four alms, in the opposite Mingsha Sanweishan drilled the first one on the caves. Later, another 10 dynasties successively, more than 1,000 years time, dug a large number of caves. In the Tang Dynasty, Mogao Grottoes have been more than 1,000 caves. The damage due to natural and man-made destruction, is now the only remaining less than 500 caves.
We drove to the Mogao Grottoes, from afar, just like cellular Mingsha general, Dong Dong connected to row upon row of neat, spectacular beauty. Just the door, we can see a small arch, "Mogao Grottoes" in the name, but Mr. Guo Moruo's autograph.
First of all we have from the tour into the 257 caves, statues of hands and head were stolen, and the surrounding murals have also been mutilated. We note that a "King Deer Jataka" that is, Jiu Selu's story is to tell a people do not realize their promise, have been cursed thing.
Long, long time ago, people began to imagine the world of the Western Paradise, the Mogao Grottoes is no less. Designers believe that heaven who ever was the best of life, human life of the emperor is the best, so they will be housing design into the palace in general. Buddha preaching in which the argument would fly in the four weeks Sanhua play music. For flying, the alien's assessment is: "We draw things that will add wings to fly. But in China, as long as the person's body plus a few streamers, they can fly the vivid, really curious!"
The world-famous playing the guitar figure is also within the cave. Players hands backward, left hand high, Hold Qin handles; right hand slightly lower, stroking strings. Players tilt slightly to the right. Right leg lifted, Alice feet; left leg support, the bending. Appear before a smile-shaped. Gone with the Wind carry the gently blowing, and quite beautiful.
Then, we visited the nine-story building, which is important buildings Nazuo Mogao Grottoes. Cave of the Buddha, the posture kind, slightly upturned hands and fingers, right hand raised, again and again for good luck meaning; left hand on knee, in order to safe his life meaning.
Mogao Grottoes, the treasure of the Buddha Buddha though not so beautiful, but it is less than the value of art, which is great as the Maitreya. He looks calm, ears hanging on the shoulders, the body folds cassock, plastic's natural decency. Seated Buddha for the clay sculpture. Behind the aperture, described the special detail, like an exquisite Chinese Painting.
For Cangjing Dong secret, we are no longer strangers. Taoist Wang Yuan Lu, apart from cleaning the cave in the sand, accidentally discovered that sleeping for thousands of years Cangjing Dong. However, as Wang Daoshi ignorance, these national treasures sold off to foreign traders. Since then, the West's attention gradually shifted to China's Mogao Grottoes Cangjing Dong. Mogao Grottoes have suffered three times the great catastrophe, and the numerous theft. Originally owned by the book on 10000 Cangjing Dong, now only a few hundred copies. Such a loss for China and the world, are heavy.
Mogao Grottoes, give us surprises. The Cangjing Dong, gave us a regret.
