Development and Integration of Qiuci Culture in Tang Dynasty: Take Mineral Pigment in Kizil Wall Painting as An Example

More Information
  • Received Date: September 09, 2022
  • The socio-economic and cultural development of the western region in the Tang Dynasty entered a flourishing period of diversification and openness. As the gateway of the opening of the Chinese civilization to the west and the hub of the eastern civilization of the Silk Road, Qiuci has formed a unique Qiuci culture in the historical process.The Qiuci grottoes, which was born during this time, represents the highest achievement of Qiuci buddhist art from the 3rd to the 9th century A.D. Through an analysis of the socio-political, economic and cultural processes of the Tang Dynasty and the spread of buddhism in the west, the regional characteristics of the use and development of the various types of mineral pigments unique to the frescoes in the Qiuci grottoes are summarised, as is the convergence of Asian and European cultures. This paper examines the mineral pigments of cinnabar, red lead, red clay, lapis lazuli and atacamite that appear in the most representative of the Kizil frescoes in the grottoes of Qiuci, and provides an account of the economic and cultural exchanges between the origin of the minerals and Qiuci and the reasons for them, with a view to restoring the characteristics and processes of the spread and localisation of Qiuci culture during the Tang Dynasty.
  • 冯其庸先生曾说“平生看尽山千万,不及龟兹一片云。”在神秘的西域之境,龟兹古国文明历经千年岁月,依然与我们遥首相望,以犹抱琵琶半遮面之姿静待世人探寻其中之美。由于龟兹与唐朝时期各自涉及社会文化领域太广而深,需要长时间的探究与实地实践经验,前方求学辩证之路漫漫,仍会不断完善修改。谨以此文献给中国地质大学(武汉)建校70周年及中国地质大学(武汉)珠宝学院建院30周年!
