Why are there twelve constellations on Dunhuang murals?

In fact, in Dunhuang, the ancients drew this painting according to ancient books, which contains the patterns of twelve constellations. In the picture, sitting in the car is the blazing Buddha, shining all over. The Yuan Dynasty believed in this god. There is a golden wheel hanging on the forefinger of the Buddha's right hand, surrounded by stars and gods. There are 28 stars on the cloud, and the zodiac is suspended. Although the twelve constellations on murals have a long history, you can still vaguely see their characteristics, such as Leo and Aquarius. They are not the main characters, so they can only hide beside them.

The twelve constellations are not western. Their names appeared in Zhou Li at the beginning of the week. Even in the tombs of the Warring States period, cultural relics about constellations were dug up. Many of these paintings have very interesting stories. You can learn more about them if you like.

If the wonderful scene on this mural is really a portrayal of ancient people's life, then one after another is the story of Buddhist scriptures, the story of life, ups and downs. As an art of Dunhuang, murals are an indispensable part of him, reflecting various factors, cultural background and research significance at that time.

On February 27th, 2065438+0616, the colors of ancient style came to my face, and the Dunhuang Art Exhibition was held in Chengdu, which surprised everyone's eyes and I can't wait to share with you the joy I saw. Maybe you can't read the above picture, but if you understand it as a comic story, there may be unexpected surprises, and everyone's interpretation is different, although it is a wonderful feast about art.

Remember some cartoons I watched when I was a child? In fact, many of them come from these murals. Besides, you can also see the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers. It can be seen that the imagination of the ancients is infinite. Let's appreciate its charm!

This painting tells the story of the deer king awakening love with love. He saved a man, but he was sold to the king by that man, which brought him an accident. In fact, this story is also carefully interpreted for us in comics. If you were a deer king, would you save others and hurt yourself without children? This is like the current social problem of "helping the elderly", which has profound implications and makes people think deeply. I didn't expect the ancients to have such wisdom long ago. This painting is full of pictures. It broke the story of painting a single picture, but used the same narrative technique as writing a composition, leaving unlimited imagination for future generations.

This painting should be regarded as the earliest story of Journey to the West. I still remember The Journey to the West, often in summer vacation. In fact, there is a mural on the west wall of the third cave in Yulin called Pu Xian Change. This painting mainly depicts a solemn bodhisattva, but behind the bodhisattva is the scenery of Emei, Sichuan. Looking down, you are the most familiar figure, a white horse, a monkey head and a monk. Isn't this the standard in The Journey to the West? It is worth mentioning that this painting is hundreds of years earlier than the novel of Journey to the West. In fact, before this novel, some people painted murals about Xuanzang, but unfortunately they were not preserved in the long river of time.
