| 敦煌研究院5日披露了敦煌石窟内一批涉及猴形象的大量精美壁画和塑像，其中既有距今已1400多年的猴子形象，也有比吴承恩著书《西游记》早200年的“唐僧取经”壁画。敦煌研究院称，敦煌石窟历史久远，题材甚广，所以猴子的形象也屡屡见诸于壁画、文献、塑像，其中最古老的猴子形象出现于西魏时期（公元534年-556年），距今已有1400多年。[敦煌研究院 供图] Dunhuang Research Academy has released a series of photos of grotto paintings that depict monkeys to mark the upcoming Spring Festival, China's Lunar New Year. According to China's lunar calendar, 2016 is the Year of the Monkey. The academy is an institution responsible for conservation, management and research at the Mogao Grottoes (a World Cultural Heritage site at Dunhuang), the Yulin Grottoes (a nationally protected key cultural heritage site at Guazhou), and the Western Thousand-Buddha Grottoes at Dunhuang. The institution said some wall paintings featuring monkeys had a history of 1,400 years. [Photo provided by Dunhuang Research Academy] |
