Xiao Fei watched Wang Gongzi talk endlessly, and said for a long time, not to be outdone, he said: "Wang Gongzi said well, but he has not yet made it clear the origin of Dunhuang, and then I have a well-informed Xiao Fei to add a little, Dunhuang where we are now is the four counties of Hexi built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, including Wuwei, Zhangye, Jiuquan, The westernmost one in Dunhuang, the Chinese meaning of Dunzhi is great, Huang is sheng, so it is the meaning of grand, it is an important town on the Silk Road, it is the throat of political, economic and cultural exchanges between China and the Western Regions at that time, Dunhuang grottoes group refers to the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, Anxi Yulin Grottoes, Shuixiakou Small Thousand Buddha Caves, Dunhuang West Thousand Buddha Caves, etc., which are now where we are now Mogao Grottoes are also called Thousand Buddha Caves to retain the caves, murals, The number of colored sculptures is the largest, the content is the richest, the longest across the era, and the preservation is relatively good. www.biquge.info Mogao Grottoes was built in 366 A.D., from the Sixteen Kingdoms to Wei, Sui, Tang, to the present, the craftsmen of all dynasties are here to dig caves, statues, with the Tang Dynasty is the most complicated, there are murals, statues of caves 492, a total of Cairong. According to the inscription records of the Tang Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 caves and niches at that time, and now more than 700 are retained, more than 2,000 bodies are molded, and the murals are 44,830 square meters. The neon clothes drag the wide belt, floating and ascending to the sky. The flying sky is mainly painted in large-scale warp paintings. On the one hand, it shows the scene of the Buddha's teachings in the large-scale sutra painting, scattering flowers, singing and dancing, and praising as offerings; on the other hand, it shows the joy of the Buddha's heavenly realm and other bliss in the large-scale sutra transformation - flying around the Buddha's head or flying over the Elysium, some stepping on colorful clouds and slowly descending; some raising their heads and arms, Soaring into the air, some holding flowers in their hands, soaring into the sky, some holding flower plates, floating in the air, fluttering dresses, flying dance belts, really different forms, thousands of postures, let me really open my eyes, feast my eyes, breathtaking. Therefore, the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes of the Great Song Dynasty can really be called the largest ancient art gallery in the world. ”

Hu Jiaojiao was also dazzled, dizzying, and gushing, "Little Feige, what you said is really good, these flying heavens are indeed lifelike, you see, that flying sky is like smiling at me, so vivid." The feeling of being close at hand and out of reach suddenly dawned, this statue is also serious and loving-"

Zeng Lu said with great interest: " That's right, the hero sees the same, this flying sky is really a veritable art gallery, just now I took a general look, I feel that these flying days are very different, in fact, I take a closer look, these flying days are actually different, they are different with different years, different dynasties, especially in different periods of flying is different in form, different expressions, you see, these from the Sixteen Kingdoms Beiliang to the Northern Wei Dynasty, about 170 years of flying sky, we can clearly see that this period of Dunhuang flying is obviously deeply influenced by India and the Western Regions flying sky, in general, the Western Regions style flying sky。 There is a circular halo on the head, and their face shape is a goose egg face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, the mouth is also amazingly large, the white nose bridge, white eyes, and the flying sky in the grottoes such as Qiuzi in the Western Regions, in the shape, face, posture, color, painting skills are very similar, but I feel that the painting skills are not as skilled as in the future, they have their feet upturned, or break up, or close hands, although there is a volley flight posture, the flying posture seems a little clumsy. The body is also slightly straight and hard, not yet rounded, slightly curved, and there are the remains of Indian stone carvings flying in the sky. I estimate that when the Mogao Grottoes were first built, the painters and painters in the Dunhuang area were not familiar with Buddhist themes and foreign art, and were in the stage of imitation, but they were bold and bold in coloring, and they appeared rough and simple.

And you come to see these flying with the style of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is better than before, although some of the flying flesh and streamers have changed color, but the smudge and lines of the dress streamers are very clear, the flying momentum of the flying is dynamic and powerful, the posture is free and beautiful, and you look again, from the Western Wei Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty for about 80 years, there are more new innovations and breakthroughs, Dunhuang Feitian in this period, Buddhist celestial people and Taoist feather people, the Western Regions Feitian and the Central Plains Feixian exchange, fusion, Chinese and Western combinations, the West is used in China, complement each other, Mogao Grottoes in the Western Wei Dynasty Feitian, the position painted is roughly the same as the Northern Wei Dynasty。 It's just that during the Western Wei Dynasty, there were two different styles of Feitian, one was the Western Regions style Feitian and the other was the Central Plains style Feitian. The Western Regions style Feitian inherited the modeling and painting style of Feitian in the Northern Wei Dynasty. One of the biggest changes is that as the god of incense, the goddess of the incense, scattered flowers and flying in the sky, and as the god of song and dance, the goddess of song and dance, the heavenly palace is a musician, breaking out of the sky fence and flying in the sky. You see that the Taoist flying immortals in China have lost their wings, their upper bodies exposed, their necklaces around their necks, their long skirts tied around their waists, and their shoulders draped with ribbons; Buddhism in India has lost the round light on its head and the Indian crown, tied up its hair in a bun, and put on the Taoist crown.

By the way, let's continue to look at Feitian in the Sui Dynasty, and we can clearly see that Feixian at this time is in a period of exchange, integration, exploration, and innovation. The faces of these flying heavens are different in shape, from round to delicate, and there are strong and slender bodies. However, most of them are slender and moderately proportioned, and the clothes are different, some are half-naked, some are like chapters, some wear sleeveless short skirts, some wear long skirts with wide sleeves, some wear crowns, some have buns, and there are bald monk-like flying heavens. The flight attitude is different, there are flying up, there are flying down, there are flying with the wind, there are also flying against the wind, there are solo flights, and there are also group flights, but the flight attitude is no longer in a "U" shape, and the body is more free to stretch. The forms are different, some hold lotus flowers, some hold flower plates, some raise their hands to scatter flowers, some hold gonghou, pipa, horizontal flute, harp and other musical instruments, flying around the cave in one direction. Its posture is diverse, its body is light, its long skirt is fluttering, and the flying ribbons are rolling in the wind. Flying all around, the clouds are flying, the falling flowers are swirling, the dynamic is strong, full of vitality. The heyday is the Tang Dynasty's Feitian, although the body of Feitian has become black, the face is not clear, but the overall image is clear, the body is slender, the posture is light, the proportion of the human body is accurate, the line drawing is smooth and powerful, the colors are gorgeous and rich, on the basis of the culture and art of the nation, constantly absorb the components of the Indian Feitian, integrate the achievements of the Western Regions and the Central Plains, and develop and create. In the Tang Dynasty, the mutual exchange, absorption, and integration of Dunhuang flying between China and foreign countries, east and west, and north and south were finally completed, and the unique process of sinicization was completed. And you saw the world-famous Tang Dynasty, Dunhuang Feitian entered a fairly mature period, the artistic image has reached the most perfect stage, it is no exaggeration to say that there are no ancients, no one after that, this period of Dunhuang Feitian has rarely India, the Western Regions Feitian style, is completely Chinese. Although our Great Song Dynasty's Feitian is slightly inferior, it is also unique, the image posture is more perfect, in terms of artistic modeling, the clothing has changed from gorgeous and rich to elegant and thin, the human body has changed from plump and delicate to thin and simple, and the demeanor has changed from excitement and joy to calm and worry. Bun hair, wearing a crown of beads, plump face, and delicate eyebrows. A hand holding a flower plate, a hand phoenix head Gong Hou, blooming glyphs on the wall of the heavenly palace, flying against the wind, the skirt fluttering, the long belt flying, flying on the body, flowers falling, flying under the sky, colorful clouds flying, although there is no momentum of the Tang Dynasty flying in the sky, but the flight dynamics are also very vivid. ”

Wow, I am really impressed by this Zeng Lu in my heart, it seems that this Zeng Lu is really amazing, not a sound, a blockbuster, her analysis of the head is the Tao, sharp edges and corners, well-organized, and quite connotative, said really not messy, gushing, chattering, sprinkled, and I saw on the Internet authentic Dunhuang research workers analysis of Dunhuang flying is very similar, it is really not to be underestimated, no wonder the quicksand was changed after she was fascinated, not only good observation ability, comprehensive knowledge, and usually Taoguang is obscure, silent, critical time can still show a few tricks。
