After the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Sui Dynasty, Hexi was recovered in 619 and Shazhou was set up in Dunhuang. Dunhuang county was under the jurisdiction of Shazhou. In 622, the five prefectures of Liang, Gan, Gua, Su and Sha were set up in Hexi, but the local anti Tang forces were still strong for a time. In the 14th year of Zhenguan (640), Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, removed the obstacles of Western Turks on the east-west road at one stroke and ensured the smooth flow of the silk road. Dunhuang reached the most glorious period in history. In the 15th year of Kaiyuan reign of Xuanzong (727), the battle between Tang and Tibet began in Hexi, and the city of Guazhou was once conquered by Tubo. After the Anshi rebellion, the Tang Dynasty transferred troops from Hexi to fight against the rebellion in the East, and the Tubo took advantage of the emptiness to invade Hexi. Although Shazhou had a strong army, it could not withstand the siege of Tubo for ten years. Finally, it was outnumbered by the army. In 781, Shazhou opened the city and surrendered to Tubo. During the 67 years of Tubo rule in Dunhuang, the economy and culture flourished for a time, and the splendid Tubo Buddhist art appeared in the Mogao Grottoes. In the second year of Dazhong (848), Dunhuang rich gentry Zhang Yanchao gathered with Han, Huihe, Wenwei and long. The people of Qiang, Tuyuhun and other ethnic groups who were bullied by Tubo took advantage of the Tubo civil strife to recover Gua and shaerzhou at one stroke. In the fifth year of Dazhong (851), Zhang Yanchao recovered the river and neishizhou under the control of Tubo, and sent envoys to present the map books of the ten prefectures to the court. Li Tang naifeng appointed Zhang Yanchao as the governor and observation envoys, and made Jin Zi Guanglu the inspector of the official department. Jin Wu, the great general, went to Shazhou to guard. In 905, Zhang Chengfeng, the grandson of Zhang Yanchao and the Jiedu envoy of the Guiyi army in Shazhou, became independent. He built the "Jinshan kingdom of the Western Han Dynasty" in Dunhuang and called himself "the son of heaven in white". In 914, the state of Jinshan died and Zhang's family died out. Cao Yanjin, a rich man in Shazhou, was recommended by the people of Shazhou to replace the status of Jiedushi and lead Gua and Shazhou. Cao's family has been a hereditary envoy for 122 years. They attach importance to economic, military and cultural construction, live in harmony with their neighbors and other nationalities, and Dunhuang's business is prosperous. In 1036, dangxiangqiang, a descendant of Xiqiang, occupied the Hexi corridor. Since then, the great Xia kingdom ruled Dunhuang for 191 years. The rulers of Xixia adopted the advanced technology and production experience of the Han nationality, which made Hexi maintain the level of "rich folk goods, no different from Zhongzhou". A large number of rich and unique Xixia Buddhist arts were preserved in Dunhuang Grottoes. In 1226, the Mongol Yuan army captured Dunhuang. After the founding of the people's Republic of China in 1271, Dunhuang was promoted to be the general manager's office of Shazhou road in 1281. It was subordinate to xingzhongshu province of Gansu Province. It set up rivers and canals to manage irrigation and water conservancy. The two prefectures of Guasha garrison troops to help and camp. The garrison troops spread all over the Danghe and Shule river basins. After the decline of Dunhuang art, it flourished again. In the first year of Yongle (1403), the Ming Dynasty set up shazhouwei in Dunhuang, which was one of the seven Western guards of Jiayuguan. In the third year of Jiajing (1524), the Ming Dynasty closed Jiayuguan, and the Han people in the west of the pass moved to the pass. The two prefectures of Guasha were occupied by Turpan, and the ethnic minorities moved here for nomadism.

Representative collection

Figures are like bricks

The bricks are painted with chalk. On the left side of the picture is a mound shaped Valley pile. On the right side, the black line outlines the master and servant. The master has a mustache on his upper lip, a long beard on his chin, a kerchief on his head, a robe and a cool fan on his hand. Although he sits on the ground, he is one head higher than the servant, and his body is twice as wide as the servant. The servant wears a bun, a long gown, a silk tapestry and a pair of pointed shoes. His arms are bent in front of his chest. At the bend of his arms is a stick like object. He holds a bowl and stands beside his master. This shows that the owner of the tomb should be a powerful landlord with considerable economic strength, which also reflects the social and economic gap and the strict hierarchy at that time.

The picture of Shenyang is like a brick

In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was unearthed in foyemiaowan, Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. The brick is 31.5cm long, 15.5cm wide and 6.5cm thick. It is a first-class historical relic.

Shenyang is not only painted with wings, but also intentionally uses fast strokes to "express the spirit with form", which enhances the flying motion of Shenyang and gives people the feeling of being elegant and flying in the clouds. It reposes the tomb owner's beautiful vision of heaven and worship of gods after his death.

Lotus like brick

In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was unearthed in foyemiaowan, Dunhuang City, Gansu Province. It is 39 cm long, 39 cm wide, 6.5 cm thick and weighs 14.55 kg. In the center of the brick picture, a lotus pod is painted, and two peach shaped lotus petals are symmetrically extended, with four petals in each layer.

Lotus color is gorgeous, painted black on the bottom of brick, red and white lotus petals, black lines of Fu and fish outline, red and white color inside. The whole effect is strong contrast, which has high appreciation value and research value. The caisson brick with the pattern of lotus is usually placed on the top of the central part of the tomb, which symbolizes the loftiness of the heaven. It is mainly used to decorate the tomb, making the top of the tomb feel high and profound. At the same time, the brick of caisson is painted with aquatic algae such as lotus
