敦煌壁画和丝绸之路DunhuangFrescoesandtheSilkRoad敦煌壁画是中国甘肃敦煌石窟艺术形式中最重要的组成部分。敦煌石窟包括敦煌莫高窟、西千佛洞、安西榆林窟,共有石窟552个，有历代壁画五万多平方米，是中国也是世界上壁画最多的石窟群。按照壁画所描绘的内容可分为佛像画、经变画、故事画、供养人画像等。DunhuangFrescoesarethemostimportantcomposingpartofthegrottoartofDunhuang,GansuProvince,China.DunhuangGrottoesincludetheMogaoGrottoesatDunhuang,theWesternThousandBuddhaCavesandtheYulinGrottoesinAnxiCounty,withatotalof552grottoes.Over50thousandsquaremetersoffrescoesoriginatedinpastdynastiesmakethemagrottoclusterboastingfrescoesinlargestquantitybothinChinaandallovertheworld.Bythecontentdepicted,thesefrescoesaredividedintoBuddhastatuepaintings,sutraconvertedpaintings,narrativepaintingsanddonorportraits,etc..敦煌壁画规模巨大，技艺精湛，内容极其丰富多彩，被誉为“艺术宝库”。它和别的宗教艺术一样，是描写神的形象、神的活动、神与神的关系、神与人的关系以寄托人们善良的愿望，安抚人们心灵的艺术。因此，壁画的风格，具有与世俗绘画不同的特征。TheDunhuangFrescoesarehonoredastheArtTreasuryfortheirlargescale,e新疆uisitecraftsmanshipaswellasextremerichnessanddiversityincontent.Likeotherreligiousart,theyportraygodimagesandmovements,relationsbetweengodsaswellasrelationsbetweengodsandhumanbeingsinwaysthatconveygoodwishesandplacatesoulsofbelievers.Accordingly,thefrescoeshavedifferentcharacteristicsinstylefromthoseasecularpaintinghas.丝绸之路，简称丝路。是指西汉时，由张骞出使西域开辟的以长安（今西安）为起点，经甘肃、新疆，到中亚、西亚，并联结地中海各国的陆上通道。因为由这条路西运的货物中以丝绸制品的影响最大，故得此名。丝绸之路，在世界史上有重大的意义，这是亚欧大陆的交通动脉，是中国、印度、希腊三种主要文化的交汇的桥梁。丝绸之路的开辟，有力地促进了东西方的经济文化交流，对促成汉朝的兴盛产生了积极的作用。这条丝绸之路，至今仍是中西交往的一条重要通道。TheSilkRoad,alsoknownasSiluinChinesepinyin,referstothelandpassagewayopenedupbyZhangQian,animperialenvoywhowasdispatchedforadiplomaticmissiontotheWesternRegionsduringtheWesternHanDynasty.TheRoadstartsfromChang’an(today’sXi’an)andreachestheCentralandWestAsiaviaGansuandXin激ang,connectingMediterraneancountries.Itgainsthenamebecausesilkproductshavemadethegreatestimpactamongthegoodstransportedwestward.TheSilkRoadisofgreatsignificanceintheworldhistoryforitsrolesastheEurasiacommunicatingarteryandthebridgefortheintersectionofChinese,IndianandGreekcultures.TheopeningupoftheRoadhaseffectivelypromotedtheeconomicandculturalexchangebetweeneasternandwesterncountriesandhasplayedapositivepartincontributingtotheprosperityoftheHanDynasty.Sofar,theSilkRoadhasremainedamajorgatewayforcommunicationbetweenChinaandwesterncountries.敦煌是丝绸之路上的一座重镇。因为当时有了丝路之路，也就有了传播佛教的路线和敦煌财富的聚集，也就有了敦煌石窟的开凿，才会有窟内的壁画，才会有如此灿烂的敦煌文化。DunhuangwasanimportanttownontheSilkRoadatthattime.TheSilkRoadavailablethenhasprovidedroutesforspreadingBuddhismandmadeitpossibletohavegatheredwealthatDunhuang,carvedtheDunhuanggrottoes,producedthefrescoesinthegrottoes,andpresentedsuchbrilliantDunhuangculture.敦煌市美术家协会副主席、职业画家栗军，在研习前人绘画技法的过程中，创造出“布上敦煌”这种通过布料加工工艺展现敦煌文化的艺术表现形式，对当代艺术创作、传统艺术文化研究和敦煌艺术文化传承都具有积极推动作用。Bystudyingthepaintingtechniquesofpredecessors,LiJun,vicechai...
