The significance of Dunhuang
What is the main idea of this part
2 Dunhuang’s long and glorious history represents its
significance as a centre of cultural and commercial
exchange. Today, Dunhuang is a world-class tourist
destination boasting sites with UNESCO-protected
heritage status. Now, we are going to enter some of the
city’s famous caves, of which there are more than 700.
Known as the Mogao Grottoes, these ancient caves
were carved out of the rock over a period of 1,000
years. If you look up, you can see the paintings and
other artworks that are testimony to how the Silk Road
brought East and West together. Look at these statues!
You can see elements from Ancient Greece, India and
Iran. Now look around the walls of the e a
little bit closer so that you can get a better view. Look at
them! The murals cover an astonishing area of 45,000
square metres.

Dunhuang’s murals
What is the main idea of this part
3 The subjects of the Dunhuang murals vary from
religious stories to scenes of everyday life. But one
type of mural that is unique to Dunhuang shows the
Apsaras, or “Flying Immortals”. Representations of
these heavenly musicians, singers and dancers decorate
the walls of many caves. Take a look at this mural.
The Apsaras are depicted sailing in the bright
blue sky, with their scarves flying, as if they
are about to fly down to meet us. And here is
another one. Move over here where you can
see it in more detail. The Apsaras are holding
lotuses, playing musical instruments, dancing
and throwing flowers. The painting of Apsaras
reached a peak during the Tang Dynasty; these
images are full of life, reflecting the confidence
and optimism of people from that time.

Dunhuang’s Library Cave
What is the main idea of this part
4 Now, something really extraordinary happened in 1900, when a Taoist priest made one of
the most important finds of the 20th century.In a sealed cave, now known as the famous
Library Cave, were hidden thousands ofmanuscripts, paintings and scrolls, as well as
silk embroideries. We’ll have a chance to seesome of them shortly – the Library Cave is
only a stone’s throw from here. Dating from405 AD to 1002 AD, these hidden treasuresgive us a picture of Dunhuang when it was atthe very centre of the Silk Road trade. Thanks
to this ancient library, we now know thatgoods arrived in Dunhuang from as far away
as North-east Europe, and that goods were also exported from Dunhuang across Asia and
Europe. The scrolls are so detailed that they describe the vast range of goods that were
imported and exported from Dunhuang, suchas ceramics, medicine, perfumes and fruit, to
name just a few. The scrolls also reveal how many different communities lived side-by-side
within this great city. However, the reason why the Library Cave was sealed up all those years
ago remains a mystery

Dunhuang faded gradually
What is the main idea of this part
5 In the Ming Dynasty, trade routes changed and
Dunhuang was not as prosperous as it used
to be. Gradually, it faded from memory, even
though it was once such a great city
Dunhuang was brought to life through the Belt and Road Initiative
What is the main idea of this part
6 This century is bringing the Silk Road to
life once more through the Belt and Road
Initiative. Dunhuang has once again become
a global crossroads since it hosted hundreds
of representatives from 51 countries for the
Silk Road International Cultural Expo in
2017. Given that the theme of the Expo was
to promote cultural exchange and strengthen
mutual cooperation between the countries
along the Silk Road, Dunhuang was the ideal place.
