敦煌是河西走廊最西边的一个城市,而河西走廊是中国历史的一个枢纽地段,敦煌是朝西的一个出口。河西走廊从地理上讲确实是一条走廊,是中国境内的古代各个民族交往的十字路口。
敦煌的历史古老而久远。“敦煌”一词最早见于《史记·大宛列传》,东汉应劭注《汉书》时,将其字面意思解释为:“敦,大也;煌,盛也。”敦煌曾是中西交通的枢纽要道,丝绸之路上的咽喉锁钥,对外交往上的国际都会,经营西域的军事重镇。敦煌是一座古老的历史文化名城,是飞天艺术的故乡、佛教艺术的殿堂,有“戈壁绿洲”“西部明珠”之称,是古丝绸之路上的黄金旅游胜地,被誉为“世界的敦煌”“人类的敦煌”。
敦煌宗教文化内涵丰富,蜚声海内外,它主要凝聚于莫高窟的彩塑、壁画与藏经洞的经卷中,还凝聚于敦煌其他宗教建筑及当地山水中。敦煌正好位于汉、藏、蒙、维等民族聚集区的交互部位,同时位于新疆伊斯兰教、青藏高原藏传佛教及河西与中原北传佛教分布区的交互部位。各宗教区交汇于敦煌,这种分布格局与地理环境区域分异有着密切关系。

WELCOME TO DUNHUANG!
Welcome to Dunhuang! On the old Silk Road, this city was the gateway to and from Ancient China, a place where East met West, and a green island in the middle of the desert(1). You can only imagine how travellers felt when they saw the oasis of Dunhuang ahead of them(2).
欢迎来到敦煌!
欢迎来到敦煌!在古老的丝绸之路上,这座城市是来往古代中国的门户,是一个东西方相遇的地方,也是沙漠中的一片绿洲。你只能想象,当旅行者们看到敦煌绿洲就在眼前时,他们的感受会是怎样的。

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(3). Now, we are going to enter some of the city's famous caves, of which there are more than 700(4). 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(5). 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.
敦煌悠久而辉煌的历史体现了它作为文化和商业交流中心的意义。今天,敦煌是一个世界级旅游胜地,拥有联合国教科文组织保护遗产地位的遗址。现在,我们要进入这座城市的一些著名的洞穴,这些洞穴有七百多个。这些古老的洞穴被称为莫高窟,是在一千多年的时间里从岩石中雕刻出来的。如果你抬头看,你会看到绘画和其他艺术品,它们见证了丝绸之路是如何将东西方联系在一起的。看看这些雕像!你可以看到古希腊、印度和伊朗的元素。现在看看洞穴周围的墙壁。走近一点,这样你就能看得更清楚了。看看这些壁画!它们占地四万五千平方米,令人惊叹。

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(6) 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(7). 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(8).
敦煌壁画的题材多种多样,从宗教故事到日常生活场景。但敦煌特有的一种壁画展示了飞天,或称“飞仙”。这些天上的乐师、歌手和舞者的形象装饰着许多洞穴的墙壁。看看这幅壁画。它描绘的是飞天在明亮的蓝天中飞行,丝巾飘飘,好像她们即将飞下来迎接我们。这是另一幅(壁画)。请到这里来,你可以更详细地观看它。飞天有的手拿莲花,有的演奏乐器,有的跳舞,有的撒花。飞天壁画在唐朝达到了顶峰,这些图案充满了生机,反映了当时人们的自信和乐观。

Now, something really extraordinary happened in 1900, when a Taoist priest made one of the most important finds of the 20th century(9). In a sealed cave, now known as the famous Library Cave(10), were hidden thousands of manuscripts, paintings and scrolls, as well as silk embroideries. We'll have a chance to see some of them shortly—the Library Cave is only a stone's throw from here. Dating from 405 AD to 1002 AD(11), these hidden treasures give us a picture of Dunhuang when it was at the very centre of the Silk Road trade. Thanks to this ancient library, we now know that goods arrived in Dunhuang from as far away as North-east Europe, and that goods were also exported from Dunhuang across Asia and Europe(12). The scrolls are so detailed that they describe the vast range of goods that were imported and exported from Dunhuang(13), such as 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(14) remains a mystery.
1900年发生了一件非同寻常的事情,一位道士的发现,成了20世纪最重大的发现之一。在一个封闭的山洞里,藏着成千上万的手稿、绘画和卷轴,以及丝绸刺绣,这个山洞现在以藏经洞著称。我们很快就有机会看到其中的一些展品——藏经洞离这里很近。这些隐藏的宝藏可追溯到公元405年到公元1002年间,给我们描绘了敦煌处于丝绸之路贸易中心时的画面。多亏了这个古老的图书馆,我们现在知道了货物从遥远的欧洲东北部运抵敦煌,也从敦煌出口到亚洲和欧洲。这些卷轴如此详细,以至于它们描述了从敦煌进出口的诸多商品,仅举几例,如陶瓷、药品、香水和水果。这些卷轴还揭示了在这座伟大的城市中,许多不同的群体是如何共同生活的。然而,这些年藏经洞被封的原因仍然是个谜。

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.
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(15). Given that(16) 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.
Now let's move on to the next cave...
到了明朝,贸易路线发生了变化,敦煌不再像过去那样繁荣。渐渐地,它从记忆中消失了,尽管它曾经是一座如此伟大的城市。
在21世纪,丝绸之路将通过“一带一路”倡议再次焕发勃勃生机。自2017年举办丝绸之路国际文化博览会,接待了来自51个国家的数百名代表以来,敦煌再次成为世界的活动中心。考虑到世博会的主题是促进丝绸之路沿线国家之间的文化交流和加强相互合作,敦煌是理想的地方。
