Through the youth, they wake up the prosperous beauty of Dunhuang

These people are "fools".

It took eight years to copy four other people’s paintings, and decided to copy it like this;

Under the scorching sun, in the dust, scraped it with a hand shovel for a day, but after one night, the clear place was covered with yellow sand, and it was not discouraged.

Go all over the vast Gobi, exhausted their minds and use all means. What is guarded is only a few feet of broken walls and a few disabled, but they are as sweet as ...

Obviously it is a good youth, but it is really "stupid" to be "not named", "not smell", and "worthless"?

At 21:20 on September 7, Southeast Satellite TV and the People's Video jointly produced "The Power of Faith". The young visitors Chen Ming will visit the three post -90s of the three post -90s of the rolling yellow sand. Beauty.

"Dun", big;

"Huang", Sheng Ye

"Feeling you like Sicus." Looking at the hard -working Liang Xiao and his colleagues, Chen Ming remembered the pushes in the ancient Greek mythology.

Corinus's founding king of the country, Sicus, was punished to push the boulder up the mountain because he was angry with the gods of Olympus. But every time the mountain is on the top of the mountain, the boulder will roll off, and he has to re -push the stone up the mountain. This is futile every day.

For a period of time, Liang Xiao and colleagues' daily work are also time -consuming and labor -intensive: at a high temperature of 60 degrees on the ground, use a brush to clear the ground sand and soil; the cruel thing is that the sand and dust can abolish their hardships a quarter of the day. three.

Nevertheless, Liang Xiao is still full of motivation for work. He worked at the Institute of Archeology of the Dunhuang Research Institute, and cleared the sand daily to discover and verify the historical truth of the heavenly king hall.

Tianwangtang, a square single eaves tower located at the junction of the South District and North District of Mogao Grottoes. Regarding when it was built, there is no conclusion so far: Due to its geographical location and the particularity of architectural shapes, the Buddhist streams and architectural characteristics it reflected have caused warm discussions in the academic community. And Liang Xiao and his friends are to cooperate with the protection project for rescue archeological excavation to help solve the mystery.

"This process may be boring, but in our opinion, the more research, the more interesting."

Liang Xiao loves Dunhuang. At a time when I was a young time, he fell in love with the beauty of here. I did not expect that a few years later, the lucky goddess guided him to come here to work. He is not the first person to be fascinated by Dunhuang.

Chang Shuhong, the first director of the Dunhuang Cultural Relics Research Institute (Dunhuang Research Institute), changed people who "Dunhuang in China, Dunhuang Studies abroad". In the 1930s, he became famous in the art world in Paris. He accidentally hit the pictures of Dunhuang and was shocked. He resolutely put down all his achievements and returned to China with a fire of war. It is "the patron saint of Dunhuang".

Later, there were Duan Wenjie, Li Yunhe, Li Zhenbo, Fan Jinshi, etc. from the north of the south. When they came, they were just right, but until they were white hair, they still reluctant to leave. Dunhuang, what charm is worthy of their lifetime?

"Those early murals are frenzy and warm tone, the glorious sutra and green landscape of the Tang Dynasty, the various imaginative composition, the colorful and colorful light and shadow ... as long as I think of it, so far, so far Only a few people can see so many murals and statues of different dynasties, and I feel an inexplicable excitement and joy. " - Fan Jinshi (former president of the Dunhuang Research Institute, currently the honorary dean and research librarian of the Dunhuang Research Institute )

Machines, statues, architecture, scriptures ... They point to the miracles in the history of human civilization exchanges.

"There are only four cultural systems that have a long history, broad regional, self -contained system, and far -reaching cultural systems: China, India, Greece, Islam, and there are no fifth; there are only one place where these four cultural systems gather, which are China. There is no second one in Dunhuang and Xinjiang. " - International Oriental Master Ji Xianlin

The names of Dunhuang have been concluded since ancient times, but the "big" and "prosperity" given by scholars in the Han Dynasty is undoubtedly the most suitable cultural energy it contains. Her grand, old -fashioned today, it is fascinating, intoxicating, disregarding and ending.

"Our five thousand years of civilization history,

How to prove it? "

Sitting on the Gobi Beach, looking at the small soil mound not far away, Wang Yanwu of the Institute of Protection of the Dunhuang Research Institute mentioned such a problem. Wang Yanwu is a famous cultural relics. The work is to treat the site. The "patient" he currently cares about is the site of Suoyang City.

Suoyang City was built in Jin, and it was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is an ancient cultural relics that integrate many cultures such as the site of the ancient city, ancient river, ancient temples, ancient tombs, and ancient reclamation districts. There is a tower temple in the city -according to the "Datang Western Regions", Xuan Zang once talked about it for more than half a month. Suoyang City ruins were included in the World Cultural Heritage in 2014.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dunhuang, which is full of sites and cultural relics, has continued to make efforts in platform construction, academic research, talent training and technical support.

In 2020, the Dunhuang Research Institute established the first multi -coupling laboratory in the field of cultural heritage in my country. The so -called multi -field coupling can simulate a variety of different conditions. The laboratory of the Dunhuang Research Institute can simulate the relative humidity of minus thirty to sixty degrees, 5 to 95 %, as well as various climatic conditions such as wind, rain, snow, and sunlight.

Suoyang City has become the key research object of the laboratory. Wang Yanwu and his colleagues found the mechanism of disease development through experimental research, verifying the technologies of protecting and reinforcement, so as to take corresponding protection measures. Perhaps in some people's opinion, Wang Yanwu is only caring for a few rough mounds; but in Wang Yan's eyes, every inch of the loess that is grinded by wind and sand is extremely precious. Brilliant evidence.

"The significance of our cultural relics is not only allowed to see it now, but also to let our children and grandson see the real sites in the future, instead of understanding the ancestors through historical books, archives, and materials Created civilization. "

Liu Xiaotong, assistant to the director of the Institute of Fine Arts of the Dunhuang Research Institute, continued the life of Dunhuang in another way: copying murals.

Before I opened his story, I really don't know that the copying murals are so particular about it! Liu Xiaotong introduced that there are three types of mural copying: sorting copy, retaining color changes, complementing the scar of the picture; objective copy, retaining the picture of the picture today, including color changes, wall diseases, wall scars, etc. The viewers see the copy products If you see the authenticity; the copying of the recovery, reproduce the styling characteristics, line forms, and color painting of the early painting period of the mural, and accurately and scientifically reproduce the original style of the mural.

Liu Xiaotong did the most difficult recovery copy. To this end, he has to make a lot of preparations: walk through the cave, read historical materials, and find the art trend of the historical period of the murals in the history of the murals. Perform the practice of more than a hundred documents; when copying, there is no smoothness, that is, to tear off. Because of this, it took eight years, and Liu Xiaotong could not come to four paintings.

But why not give work to the digital technology?

"Copy translation in English is Copy, but our job is not 'copying', but 'copying'. Copy to let everyone see the grand occasion of culture and enhance our cultural confidence. It returns to its original state. "

Liu Xiaotong believes that although they seem to be repeating the creation of their predecessors, this is not a mechanical replication, but in the artistic life of resurrection thousands of years ago -the treasure of this job is that he saw from his predecessors from his predecessors Belief, and he must be inherited firmly.

Of course, Chen Ming's trip to Dunhuang not only has the hardships of the protection of cultural heritage. With the perspective of the three youths, he also reads the greater and deeper beauty of Dunhuang: figure paintings, landscape paintings, and architectural paintings can be called Mo Mo. Cave 172 of the Gao Cave Sheng Tang art boutique, here are generally no chance to see it; in addition, the interpretation of the three "guides" is even more enthusiastic. At 21:20 on September 7, Southeast Satellite TV's "The Power of Faith" went back to Dunhuang Dream for thousands of years.
