莫高窟，又名“千佛洞”，位于敦煌市东南25公里处、鸣沙山东麓的断崖上，是我国三大石窟艺术宝库之一。洞窟始凿于前秦建元二年(公元366年)，后经历代增修，今存洞窟492个，壁画45000平方米彩塑雕像2415尊，是我国现存石窟艺术宝库中规模最大、内容最丰富的一座。1987年被联合国教科文组织列为世界文化遗产。 莫高窟的艺术特点主要表现在建筑、塑像和壁画三者的有机结合上。窟形建制分为禅窟、殿堂窟、塔庙窟、穹隆顶窟、影窟等多种形制；彩塑分圆塑、浮塑、影塑、善业塑等；壁画类别分尊像画、经变画、故事画、佛教史迹画、建筑画、山水画、供养画、动物画、装饰画等不同内容，系统反映了十六国、北魏、西魏、北周、隋、唐、五代、宋、西夏、元等十多个朝代及东西方文化交流的各个方面，成为人类稀有的文化宝藏。 莫高窟还是一座名副其实的文物宝库。在藏经洞中就曾出土了经卷、文书、织绣、画像等5万多件，艺术价值极高，可惜由于当时主持莫高窟的王道士愚昧无知，这些宝藏几乎被悉数盗往国外。现在莫高窟对面的三危山下，由敦煌研究院承建了敦煌艺术陈列中心，仿制了部分原大洞窟，使游客在莫高窟的观赏内容更加丰富多彩。Mogao Grottoes， also known as the "Thousand-Buddha Grottoes"， located 25 kilometers southeast of Dunhuang City， the Singing Sand Mountain and Mountain Cliff， China is one of the three grotto art treasure Cave began to hammer in the Former Qin Dynasty Jianyuan 2002 (Year 1366)， amended after the generation of this 492 caves 45，000 square meters of colorful murals， sculptures 2415 president， is now the largest treasure trove of grotto one of the most abundant 1987 was listed by UNESCO as world cultural Cave art features in the main building， statues and murals on the organic Cave formed into shape Buddhist caves and cave temple， Damiao Cave， dome roof caves and other shapes impact Cave; Cyclotomic colorful plastic， floating plastic film good plastic industry; Zunxiang mural painting category， the change paintings， stories， Buddhist temple paintings， architectural paintings， landscapes， and so painting Animal paintings， decorative painting and other different aspects of the system to reflect 16， Northern Wei， Western Wei Dynasty， Northern Zhou， Sui， Tang， the Five Dynasties， Song， Western Xia， including more than 10 million in various dynasties and the cultural exchange between East and West， has become a rare cultural Cave is a veritable treasure trove of Cave had unearthed in China by volume， instruments， embroidery， such as portraits of more than 50，000 pieces of art a highly Unfortunately， since then the auspices of the Mogao Grottoes Wangdaoshi ignorance， which was almost full stolen treasures Cave opposite the foot of the crisis now three， contracted by the Dunhuang Academy in Dunhuang art exhibition copying a large part of the original cave， visitors watch as more colorful in the Mogao G 希望你满意
