Dunhuang Grottoes have no costumes.

This is because the horse-faced skirt is an element of Tibetan traditional costumes, and Dunhuang Grottoes are religious sites of official Buddhist art, not the center of Tibetan Buddhism, so there is no horse-faced skirt in artistic creation.

In addition, the artistic style of Dunhuang Grottoes is very special, mainly from the early Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, which fully shows the cultural exchange and integration between China and neighboring countries in the Tang Dynasty, and its artistic expression is also different from Tibetan costumes.

According to the Dunhuang Mural, it reflects the social costumes of the Tang Dynasty, and the styles of costume patterns are also different. Generally, the types of costumes in the Tang Dynasty are: imperial clothes, official clothes, official clothes, dresses worn by officials and scholars, dresses worn by nobles' children, dresses of conference semifinals of all ethnic groups, dresses of civilians and soldiers, dresses of ordinary women, dresses and ornaments worn by religious people.

artistic value

The 1,000-year history of Dunhuang Grottoes was an important development period in China's history after the Han Dynasty. After the Han Dynasty, it was divided and combined for a long time, moving towards national integration and reunification between the north and the south, reaching its peak in the Tang Dynasty and declining from its peak. This period is the formation and development period of China's artistic procedure, genre, category and theory.

It was after the introduction of Buddhist art that China's Buddhist theories and sects were established and developed, and Buddhist art became an important category of fine arts in China, and finally completed the China period. Dunhuang grottoes art, which has lasted for thousands of years, is rich in content and huge in quantity. Its artistic form not only inherits the local Han and Jin artistic traditions, but also absorbs the styles of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Tang and Song artistic schools.

It also constantly accepts, transforms and integrates the artistic styles of India, Central Asia and West Asia, and shows people a history of Buddhist art and its gradual process of China. It is also a historical record of the communication between China art and the western regions, which is of great significance to the study of China art history and world art history.
