A World In A Wild Flower,and A Bodhi In A Leaf

Dong Han Ying Shaozhu says in "Han Shu" : "Dunn,means grand,Huang,means prosperity",Dunhuang after thousands of years of vicissitudes,gave birth to a long history,broad and profound Buddhist art.The Mogao Grottoes were excavated during the Qin dynasty in the 16 th and early dynasties,and the northern and Southern Dynasties had a considerable size.the Five Dynasties,The Song and Yuan dynasties,had been excavated and expanded in succession in the Tang dynasty,with a history dating back to 1600.In the long history of the evolution process,coupled with natural weathering and man-made damage,and later British,French,Japanese,American,Russian and other national explorers stealing crazy plunder,a large number of precious documents scattered around the world,Dunhuang currently existing caves 492,more than 2000 statues of Buddha,murals more than 45000 square meters,it is called the treasure house of Buddhist art in China and the world,is an important document to study the history of ancient art,but also the whole system presents the whole process of Chinese Buddhist art from the beginning to the development.Wang Anshi once says in the "A tour to Bao Chan Mountain" : "the deeper,the more difficult,and the more spectacular can you see." Dunhuang art is also true,although after thousands of years of honed,when we face the exquisite frescoes or lifelike figurines,the more in-depth study will be the exquisite charm of its art.The most depicted in Dunhuang murals is the story of the Buddhist Benji and the story of the change,around the story presented in the picture in addition to the characters,animals,landscape and other images,it is not difficult to find a lot of "flower tree" image exists.In the life of Shakyamuni Buddhism,from birth to Nirvana are inextricably linked with the "flower tree",Buddhist scriptures recorded,Shakyamuni was born under the tree of worry,enlightenment in the Bodhi tree,preaching in the horse chestnut,Nirvana in the tree.From the research status of Dunhuang murals,most researchers are committed to the study of Buddhist statues,or to the murals of people,painted patterns as the main research direction,for "flower tree" schema research has been less involved.Because the "flower tree" does not occupy a major position in the murals,but because there are these from life extracted from the life of the vivid and interesting natural image of the embellishment,and mysterious and interesting story of Buddhism into one,together constitute a thousand wonders,green mountains,birds and flowers,the crossing roads,jewelry,somewhattrue somewhat magic,charming,fantasy.Therefore,the "flower tree" shape in the Dunhuang murals also occupy a very important position,compared with other modeling elements and is precious.In this paper,for the Dunhuang murals in the "flower tree" schema for research,early,middle and late“ flower tree” schema for combing mogao,to field visits and reference historical documents,image data combination of the way,the mural in different periods "flower tree" schema formation,the ins and outs of the artistic image and the cultural connotation and the artistic value,the role in the picture and the expression technique,set color Fu color and other aspects of the argument,targeted,systematic in-depth research.
