On the east-facing cliff 120 meters to the east of Wufengdun the southeast hill top at Mogao, four cliff paintings depicting three deer and a flower can be seen, as well as six inscriptions. Previously, Sun Yihua, Wu Jun and Liu Yanyan, all staff of the Dunhuang Academy, successively investigated the site, recorded the stone inscriptions, and published papers about their findings. However, there were some words missing from their transcriptions. In August 2020, the authors of this paper returned to the site on two occasions in order to investigate, take photos and record the inscriptions, and are now ready to publicize the complete texts of the inscriptions. In addition, study of the deer images, which were the first rock paintings discovered in the Dunhuang region, finds them to be remarkably similar in style to cave murals dating from between the Northern Dynasties and the Tang dynasty. The stone inscriptions also provide important clues for understanding the Guiyijun regime ruled by the Li Family in the late Tang dynasty.
