Features: The Dunhuang Mogao Caves' Library Cave, as one of the four great ancient document discoveries of the 20th century, caused a huge sensation internationally. As is well known, the main part of the Dunhuang documents has scattered to foreign countries, being collected in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Russia, and Japan, while the remaining parts are stored in institutions like the former Beijing Library, now the National Library of China. Due to the international nature of the collection of Dunhuang documents, Dunhuang studies emerged as an international prominent field of study from the very beginning, consistently leading academic trends. The Dunhuang documents are vast and profound, and the Dunhuang cave art is rich in content, making them objects of great interest to academic circles both at home and abroad as research subjects of Dunhuang studies. This book is revised based on the author's doctoral dissertation.
