Time and Seasons of Dunhuang

In 2018, Dunhuang Academy's public WeChat account launched a series of articles titled Time and Seasons of Dunhuang. The series, centered on the core concepts of "inheritance, humanity, poetry, and life", employs a multidisciplinary approach to explore the diverse values of Dunhuang culture. It reorganizes the precious murals, sculptures, and documents of Dunhuang and creatively integrates traditional Chinese culture—especially seasonal festivals—into the contemporary context. This initiative brings ancient Chinese customs, rituals, seasonal events, and daily life into the modern view, endowing traditional seasonal festivals with unique cultural significance and recreating ancient scenes of Dunhuang. Building on this foundation, a series of short videos titled Time and Seasons of Dunhuang was launched in 2022, making it an important digital brand for promoting Dunhuang culture and excellent traditional culture of China.

In 2022, the Dunhuang Academy published Chinese and Japanese versions of the cultural reading material Time and Seasons of Dunhuang. The book covers China's 24 solar terms and significant folk festivals, vividly showcasing the beauty of traditional Chinese seasonal festivals as well as the wisdom and philosophy found in ancient agricultural science, astronomy, and traditional customs. This work combines academic rigor with cultural and aesthetic value and has received widespread acclaim since its publication.
