Chinese Grottoes: The Mogao Caves in Dunhuang
The Chinese Grottoes: The Mogao Caves in Dunhuang, commonly referred to as the Five-Volume Edition, was compiled by the Dunhuang Cultural Relics Research Institute (renamed "Dunhuang Academy" in the second edition) and published in collaboration with the Cultural Relics Publishing House and Japan's HEIBON-SHA. Prof. Ji Xianlin wrote a preface titled Everlasting Sino-Japanese Friendship, reflecting on the long-standing friendly exchanges between the people of China and Japan over thousands of years, affirming that this series is a product of Sino-Japanese friendship. The book won the First National Special Golden Award for Art Books in 1991 and the First National Book Award in 1994, both in China.
The first five volumes of this series include colored sculptures and murals of the Mogao Caves from different periods, with accompanying representative articles by noted Chinese and Japanese researchers. This work serves as a significant summary of the research achievements related to the Dunhuang Caves in the 1980s, which marked a groundbreaking period in the field.
