Features: Dunhuang is a shining pearl on the ancient Silk Road. The Han, Uyghur, Tuyuhun, and Tibetan peoples living here jointly created Dunhuang culture. 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 both in-depth, high-quality academic research and popularization and promotion to let more people understand Dunhuang and appreciate its splendid and magnificent cultural connotations. The 21st century is not only a period of deep development for Dunhuang studies but also a period of widespread popularization. For this reason, the Nationalities Publishing House, in cooperation with the Key Research Base of Humanities and Social Sciences of the Ministry of Education and the Dunhuang Studies Institute of Lanzhou University, has launched a popular Dunhuang studies series, "Dunhuang Past Stories."
