Free! Only 20 days left before closing, the most stunning Dunhuang exhibition in Shenzhen.
Colorful silk is falling. It is like the embodiment of the Silk Road, with diverse cultures and commodities, and the dynamic sense of trade exchanges.
Everyone knows Dunhuang, but few people know much about it.
This time, Shenzhen has "moved" Dunhuang here.
That mysterious art sanctuary
Is now presented to us in a free exhibition, 1:1.
Walking into the Dunhuang exhibition, you will feel like you have traveled back in time to the ancient Silk Road. The caves and works that are not open to the public in Dunhuang can only be seen here. The vivid Buddha statues and exquisite murals tell the ancient history with every stroke.
• More than 40 Dunhuang murals
• 4 caves restored 1:1
• 5 painted sculptures and many documents
From the Western Xia Dynasty to the present
Encounter the beauty of a thousand years - the unprecedented "Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes" in Shenzhen
A rare visual feast
The recent popularity of Shenzhen is inseparable from the uniqueness of this exhibition.
Mogao Grottoes Cave 3, Yuan Dynasty
The only existing cave themed on Guanyin, with a thousand-hand and thousand-eye Guanyin painted on the north and south walls, and a Guanyin of Wealth and a Guanyin with a Pure Bottle on the east wall.
Mogao Grottoes Cave 285, Western Wei Dynasty
This cave has the richest content, including the Mani Pearl and Feitian of Buddhism, and the classic Chinese Fuxi, Nuwa, Fengshen, Yushen, Leishen, Dianshen, etc. The combination of Chinese and Western styles is particularly interesting.
Mogao Grottoes Cave 259, Northern Wei Dynasty
There is a very representative painted sculpture - the Meditation Statue. The facial expression is very detailed, and the upturned corners of the mouth represent the pure inner self of the Buddha. The light slowly shines from the top of the head, like a Buddha's light.
In addition, there are murals with Dunhuang characteristics, such as the Water Moon Guanyin, Four Feitian, Reversed Pipa Dance Music, Buddha Story, and Zhang Qian's Mission to the Western Regions. They not only show the life in the Western Pure Land, but also trace the spread of Buddhism!
These works have made the Dunhuang exhibition highly anticipated. Who would say that Shenzhen is a cultural desert?
