Therefore, the cave art of Mogao Caves, as a symbol of Dunhuang studies, is the crystallization of their collective wisdom and also a product of religious and cultural exchanges between the East and the West. The development of Dunhuang studies requires in-depth, high-quality academic research, as well as popularization and promotion to let more people understand Dunhuang and appreciate its splendid cultural heritage. The 21st century is both a period of deep development in Dunhuang studies and a time of widespread popularization. For this reason, the Nationalities Publishing House has collaborated with the Key Research Base of Humanities and Social Sciences under the Ministry of Education—the Dunhuang Studies Institute of Lanzhou University—to launch the Dunhuang Studies Popular Reading Series—Dunhuang Anecdotes Series.
