Dunhuang Music and Dance
by Zhang Caimei
Description
Dunhuang music and dance are integral parts of China's history of music and dance. The millennia-long history of cave excavation and sculpture in the Dunhuang region has preserved a wealth of precious images and documentary materials related to music and dance. Situated at the crossroads of cultural exchange, collision, and fusion between Central Plains culture and Western Regions culture, Dunhuang music and dance exhibit not only distinct characteristics of Central Plains music and dance, but also elements from Western Regions music and dance, as well as foreign influences. Represented by the Mogao Grottoes and the manuscripts unearthed from the scripture caves, Dunhuang murals and texts greatly enrich the research materials of Chinese music and dance history.This book consists of four parts: "Enchanting Dunhuang," "Melodious Sounds," "Graceful Dance," and "Appreciation." Considering the readers' preferences, the book takes familiar elements such as mural scenes, poems, musical instruments, and dance forms as entry points. Through a combination of text and images, it presents specialized knowledge in an accessible and easily understandable language, enhancing its readability.
