I was thinking thoughtfully about Mr. Chang Shuhong, the earth-shattering achievements of the older generation of Dunhuang people, and the mood was magnificent, like a storm crashing on the shore, and I couldn't calm down for a long time, suddenly, Hu Jiaojiao shouted over there again, interrupting my thoughts, "Let's come over and see, what are these people?" Interrupted my thoughts, we followed the sound and walked over, only to see that there are dozens of beautiful and lifelike life-size colored sculptures in some dark wall rooms, vivid, ready to come out, it really opened our eyes and was surprised, because we always thought that Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is full of murals, the rising Feixian murals, where did I think that there are such lifelike and finely carved sculptures here, because the Dunhuang Grottoes are opened on the gravel, can not be carved, so there are no carvings in the caves like the Yungang Grottoes and Longmen Grottoes, but these carvings are estimated to use clay sculptures and painted methods to shape the Buddha statueto express the world of Buddhism. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese colored sculptures are diverse, colorful, and have different forms, including Buddha statues, Bodhisattva statues, disciple statues, and heavenly kings, King Kong, Lux, colored sculptures, etc. The form of color sculpture is rich and colorful, there are round sculptures, relief sculptures, shadow sculptures, good karma sculptures, etc., the subject matter is rich, the craftsmanship is superb, it can be called the Buddhist color sculpture museum, these statues are delicate and realistic, the imagination is rich, the attainments are profound, and the murals blend and complement each other, these sculptures are plump and full, the lines are smart and smooth, the colors are bright and elegant, pleasing to the eye, worthy of being the representative masterpieces in the Dunhuang murals, the calm and solemn caves are surging because of their existence, the waves are magnificent, shining.

Zeng Lu, who is taciturn on weekdays, also became interested, and began to talk endlessly, and the quicksand listened attentively on the side: "You see, this Guanyin statue is perfectly shaped, with a towering head, big ears and shoulders, a solemn and graceful demeanor, wearing a crown, wearing a heavenly robe, a close-fitting Luo skirt at the waist, a toned face and posture, reflecting the fashion of the upper-class women of the Tang Dynasty, the left foot is naturally leaning forward, the fingers are like green onions, the body proportions are symmetrical, the shape is simple and elegant, it is the style of the Tang Dynasty, it is really kind and kind, just like a real person." It's really as said in the new book Journey to the West published by Lizhou Publishing House, with eyebrows like a small moon and eyes like twin stars. The jade face is naturally happy, and the red lips are a little red. The net bottle of nectar is prosperous every year, and the weeping poplar is green every year. And let's take a look at this Bodhisattva, his arms naturally droop, his upper body is half-naked, obliquely draped in heavenly clothes, and the head shape of the Bodhisattva can be seen on the front and sides of the crown of his head, which may also be an eleven-sided Guanyin statue at the beginning. The ornamental ornament that extends down from the necklace is crossed on the chest and separated to the sides of the body, sitting in the middle of the Chiba lotus platform, so based on this decorative form, I speculate that this work may be a work of the early Tang Dynasty or a work of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hu Jiaojiao was also amazed and said, "Oh my God, it's so beautiful, it really opened my eyes, the mouth opened slightly, and the slender eyes actually raised slightly upward, it was really different, and many Bodhisattvas drooped their eyebrows and looked down on all beings. Haohao Red Lotus sat down, bent Qiuyue and locked her brows. The nectar in the bottle is often sprinkled, and the poplar branches in the hand do not count the autumn. Thousands of places pray for thousands of answers, and the sea of suffering is often used as a boat to save people. I thought that the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang were full of murals, but I didn't expect there to be carvings of such a scale. ”

I looked around and said, "I was really surprised, it was really chic, magnificent, and unparalleled in the world." But it's not possible that someone moved from the outside, I always feel that these things are very sudden, and they appear a little unnatural, discordant, and the soil here is not very suitable for carving things. ”

Xiao Fei whispered to me: "You are lonely again, there are always exceptions, in the Guimet Museum in France, among the cultural relics looted from the Mogao Grottoes, there are many carvings. According to statistics, there are 21 carved works in the collection of Bo Xihe in the Jiji Museum. Since 366 A.D., the Venerable Shamen Le traveled here, suddenly saw the golden light on the Mingsha Mountain, there are thousands of Buddhas, so the heart of germination and excavation, after the successive construction, although the Mogao Grottoes were invaded by nature and man-made destruction in the long years, but to the modern society to retain 492 holes from the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Western Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Sui, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia, the Yuan Dynasty and other ten dynasties, the murals are more than 45,000 square meters, if the murals are arranged, can stretch more than 30 kilometers, is the world's longest, the largest, One of the richest galleries in content, with 2,000 painted statues, is the world's greatest treasure trove of existing Buddhist art. Do you see if you're lonely and talking nonsense? Where are there no colorful sculptures?"

I said disappreciably: "I just said that these statues in front of us look like there is a problem, hmph, think I don't know, the words behind are all said by Baidu, I have a vague impression, but do you remember it really well, is it ulterior motives, there are other plans, your big thief group is really pervasive, these things you dare to covet, that is the object of national key protection, be careful to be targeted by the handsome guy of the National Security Bureau, then you can't eat, go around." “

Xiao Fei was a thief with a weak heart, and said with palpitations: "I just went over to see, visit the treasures of the world, and I'm not back to ancient times now, even if I am accidentally targeted by the handsome guy of the National Security Bureau, how can he help me, across the net of time and space, he is beyond the reach of the whip, by the way, in fact, I really hope that such a powerful person will arrest me back, by the way, brother, I will also bring you by the way." “

Garfield said excitedly, interrupting me and Dumbo's whisper: " Hurry up and come here, come and see this heavenly king, it's really good-looking, dressed in armor, round eyes, thick eyebrows and big eyes, stiff body, restrained shape, bright colors, bold shape, head tilted back, holding utensils, one leg is upright, the other leg stands a little higher, it is estimated that it should be standing on the stone or on the little ghost, the shape is beautiful, lifelike, it is really good-looking, I estimate that most of it should be the things of the Tang Dynasty, it is too exquisite, I was shocked. ”

Hu Jiaojiao saw something again, and said in shock: "Come here, these are better." I didn't expect these sculptures to go through thousands of years, and now I still sigh when I see them, this kind of beauty, beyond time and space, beyond the years, gives us the enjoyment of beauty, this eternal artistic vitality is omnipresent, everywhere infects us. "Let's rush over and find out. A look at the past, it is really very eye-opening, in front of me is a dozen black and swarthy flying sky, their streamers are carved lifelike, as if to fly in the wind, and we see the flying sky on the mural is exactly the same, it is really complete and unified, we have just seen all kinds, all kinds of kings, Bodhisattvas, have not seen the beautiful sculpture of the flying sky, these flying carvings have their own merits than the murals, more three-dimensional, more fascinating, they have different expressions, lifelike, but the only fly in the ointment is the uniform black black, these flying sky is not colorfulAlthough there are occasional black, not all of them, but why are the flying carvings in front of me now unified into a black and swarthy color, is it that they are roasted by fire, is it because the funds are not enough to save paint? Why are all of them uniformly black? Why do these flying heavens look like their faces and bodies are black? Could it be that they invited a black man from Africa to be a model? I asked Xiao Fei this difficult question in confusion.

Xiao Fei said disappreciatively: " You don't understand science, it means that these lifelike statues and artworks we see in front of us are carved with a long history, at least before the Tang Dynasty, this is quite precious, it is rare to see this and we have just seen some blackened murals are actually a principle, the same way, because the quality of the pigments used by the painters is not qualified, can not stand the test of time, can not withstand the occurrence of oxidation reaction, because the lead pigment in the Mogao Grottoes murals and colored sculptures are commonly used orange-red lead Dan and white lead white pigment, and these two pigments are very easy to become lead black on the wet alkaline surface。 After thousands of years of aging, most of the murals and painted sculptures in the Mogao Grottoes that have used lead pigments have discoloration, and some have even turned completely black. ”

I see, I suddenly nodded with admiration, and thought that those craftsmen had a soft spot for black, deliberately dyed black, and other people also cast extremely appreciative eyes at Xiao Fei, I also secretly sighed that Xiao Fei is really well-informed, erudite, and ashamed, but Xiao Fei is so knowledgeable about these murals, carving is just so well known, such as a number of treasures, it is really the drunkard's intention is not in the wine, the drunkard's meaning lies in the painting, the backbone personnel cultivated by the thief group are naturally not to be underestimated, there must be intentions, there are plans, I secretly thought in my heart。

Among them, there is a flying fairy who bounces the pipa, dancing gracefully, very graceful, I saw this trick Lotte demeanor leisurely and graceful, falling and generous, holding the pipa, half-naked upper body fluttering and flying, the skirt of the heavenly dress swaying, and then the unexpected spinning body made the classic posture of the rebound pipa, which is enviable. There are also two flying heavens, one raises his hand to scatter flowers, one leaps up, one before and one behind, looking forward to affection, flying upside down and down, slowly landing, the towel belt is elegant and smart, under the support of the clouds, it seems to dance freely. The dress and scarf belt stretch with the wind, from top to bottom, slowly falling, like two flying swallows, light and chic, diverse postures, soft waist posture, and colorful, really like Li Bai's poetry with a simple hand to hold the hibiscus, stepping into space, neon clothes drag the wide belt, floating in the sky, full of infinite poetry and painting. But when I looked closer, they all looked thoughtful with their eyes closed, "What's weird?" I muttered to myself. Xiao Fei was puzzled and said, "What's strange?"
