Dictionary of Dunhuang Studies
The Dictionary of Dunhuang Studies (Dunhuangxue Dacidian) is the most comprehensive, authoritative large reference work in the field of Dunhuang studies to date. Publication of the first edition was jointly undertaken by the Institute of Dunhuang and Turfan Studies of China, the Dunhuang Academy, and Shanghai Lexicographical Publishing House. It was edited by renowned Chinese scholar Prof. Ji Xianlin from Peking University and features participation from over 100 experts and scholars across the country. It took 13 years to complete the compilation of the book.
In December 2024, the Dictionary of Dunhuang Studies (2nd Edition) was officially published. Edited by Hao Chunwen and collaboratively compiled over six years by nearly 160 scholars in the field, this edition doubles the number of entries and illustrations compared to its predecessor. The new edition not only incorporates major archaeological discoveries in Dunhuang studies since the 20th Century and critical publications and researches on Dunhuang manuscripts since the late 20th Century, but also systematically expands entries on modern technologies applied in Dunhuang research and conservation as well as content on prominent international and contemporary Dunhuang scholars, historical figures, events, and artifacts related to ancient Dunhuang. Stelae eulogies and sacred deity paintings are among previously excluded but important categories.
As the only comprehensive reference work worldwide to present Dunhuang scholarship from the 20th to the early 21st centuries, this dictionary marks the first systematic and comprehensive summation of Dunhuang studies, reflecting China's leading research capabilities in the field.
