Feitian (Dunhuang mural)

In the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when Buddhism was first introduced, the flying immortals in the murals were also called flying immortals. There was no distinction between flying immortals and flying immortals. Later, with the further development of Buddhism in China, the flying gods of Buddhism and the flying immortals of Taoism merged with each other in artistic images. The Dunhuang Feitian refers to the flying god painted in the Dunhuang Grottoes, and later became a special term for the unique Dunhuang mural art in China.

The characteristic feature of Dunhuang Feitian's style is that it does not have wings or feathers, and relies on the clouds instead of relying on clouds. Instead, it relies on the flowing clothes and flying ribbons to soar in the sky. Thousands of shapes, ever-changing. This is the Dunhuang Feitian image developed and created on the basis of the national tradition, absorbing and integrating the achievements of foreign Feitian art.
