敦煌，位于甘肅省河西走廊西端。隨著古絲綢之路的繁榮，敦煌成為中西文明交流的重鎮(zhèn)。敦煌文化以中華傳統(tǒng)文明為根基，以絲綢之路為紐帶，以開放的姿態(tài)廣泛吸納多種文化，從而形成了獨(dú)具特色、博大精深的內(nèi)涵。敦煌文化集建筑藝術(shù)、彩塑藝術(shù)、壁畫藝術(shù)、佛教文化于一身，歷史底蘊(yùn)雄渾厚重，文化內(nèi)涵博大精深。在一定意義上，守護(hù)敦煌就是守護(hù)中華文脈，就是守護(hù)世界文化遺產(chǎn)。
Dunhuang lies at the western end of the Hexi Corridor in northwest China's Gansu Province. With the flourishing of the ancient Silk Road, it grew into a town of great importance in the exchanges between Eastern and Western civilizations. With traditional Chinese culture as its foundation, Dunhuang culture became an integral part of the Silk Road, which opened it up to a wide range of cultural influences and shaped its unique and profound character. The culture of Dunhuang, with its blend of architectural, sculptural, and mural art and rich Buddhist influence, is endowed with great historical depth and cultural significance. In many ways, protecting Dunhuang is tantamount to safeguarding Chinese culture and world heritage.
