Winner: Liu Ying (School of Fine Arts and Design)
Type: Monograph
Ranking of our university: First completion unit
This book is written on the basis of investigations to the grotto temples and murals of the Tubo period in Mogao Grottoes.

In 821 and 822, the Tang Tubo regime held alliance meetings outside Chang’an (now Xi'an) and in Lhasa. The relations between the Tibetan nationality and the Han nationality entered a relatively harmonious period, resulting in new painting elements in the murals of late Tubo grottoes dominated by Chinese Buddhism art. The Vimalakirti Painting with the Tubo ruler and his attendants, providers dressed in Tubo costumes, the Manjusri Painting depicting Wutaishan Taoist Rite, the new image of Attendant Bodhisattva, columns wrapped in decorative patterns and other elements are all closely related to the cultural exchanges between the two nationalities.

To be specific, the image patterns of Esoteric Bodhisattva Sutra paintings, the sources of Attendant Bodhisattva images in Vajra Sutra paintings, the characteristics of faith in Esoteric Bodhisattva in the Tubo period, and the story paintings from sutras and the belief embodied by them are explored.
Based on the analysis of the overall design principles of the grottoes, in the late period of Tubo rule, the subjects of murals in the grottoes formed a relatively fixed pattern. Sukhavati is the most common subject. Together with other subjects, it shapes an imaginary Buddhist Pure Land.
