Over 150 scholars and researchers on Saturday attended a seminar in northwest China’s Dunhuang City to commemorate the 1650th anniversary of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang.
週六,逾150名學者與研究人員於中國西北的敦煌市參加一場研討會,紀念敦煌莫高窟滿1650歲。

The Mogao Grottoes are home to a huge collection of Buddhist artworks - more than 2,000 colored sculptures and 45,000 square meters of frescoes - in 735 caves carved along a cliff by ancient worshippers.
莫高窟猶如佛教文物總匯,古代佛法追求者沿著崖壁刻出735口洞穴,裡面藏有逾2000件彩繪雕塑品和面積達4萬5000平方公尺的壁畫。
The first cave was excavated by a monk called Master Yue Zun in A.D. 366. After over 1,000 years of construction, the Mogao Grottoes has become a Buddhist pilgrimage and was China’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site, inscribed in 1987.
公元366年,僧人樂僔發現第一口洞穴。開鑿千餘年後,莫高窟成為佛教朝聖地,並於1987年成為中國第一處被列入聯合國教科文組織世界文化遺產的古蹟。
Using its expertise and technology in preserving ancient frescoes, the academy has also been repairing frescoes in other parts of China, including Xinjiang and Tibet.
