What does Dunhuang Feitian refer to? Introduction to Dunhuang Feitian

1. Dunhuang Feitian is the business card of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and a symbol of Dunhuang art.

Among the 492 caves in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, almost every cave has a painting of flying apsaras.

2. The "Golden Guangming Jingshu" of the Tang Dynasty explains: "Foreign gods are also called heaven." In Indian culture, the gods flying in the sky are called Feitian.

When Buddhism was introduced to China, there was a saying that flying gods were called flying gods.

There are many images of flying sky in the murals of Mogao Grottoes, which later developed into a proper term for China's unique Dunhuang mural art.
