Features: Great People Series · Issue 3. Though the person is gone, the cause endures. I believe that the inclusion of Introduction to Dunhuang Studies in the "Great People Series" for a second release is also the best commemoration for Jiang Liangfu. This book is the first concise textbook in China dedicated to Dunhuang studies. Jiang Liangfu shares his personal experiences and reflections on embarking on the study of Dunhuang studies, narrating it in a warm and engaging manner, filled with patriotic sentiments and a heartfelt expectation for the younger generation. He traces the origins and explores the profound value of Dunhuang studies in the cultural history of China and even the world from the perspective of its impact on human history. The book also concisely introduces the rich content of Dunhuang documents and artworks, teaching methods for studying Dunhuang manuscripts.
