敦煌早期三窟及濕壁畫技法 - 《敦煌石窟全集》第一卷《莫高窟第266～275窟考古報告》編後=The Three Earliest Caves of Dunhuang and Fresco Technique - After Having Compiled the Archaeological Report on Mogao Caves 266～275,the fist volume of the Collected Works of Dunhuang Caves
The publication of the Archaeological Report on Mogao Caves 266-275, the first volume of the Collected Words of Dunhuang Caves, has started a new chapter on Dunhuang cave research. The three earliest caves in this book, namely caves 268, 272 and 275, are generally considered to be the earliest remains of cave temples in China. It is said that " Dunhuang meets the Western Regions;" complete, immaculate images from the Maitreya belief of Northwest India and Central Asia can be seen in the three caves. There is no final consensus about the exact date of the three caves so far, and different opinions and the complicated interior conditions of the caves have to be discussed in depth before any further conclusions can be made. The technique of the artworks in the three caves is noteworthy, however, these early murals of Dunhuang applied an interesting fresco-like technique, at least in the first painting procedures.
