"The Golden Age of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Depicted in Dunhuang Murals" roving exhibition starts today
Jointly organised by the Chinese Culture Promotion Office (CCPO) of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and the Dunhuang Academy, "The Golden Age of the Sui and Tang Dynasties Depicted in Dunhuang Murals" roving exhibition will be held at various LCSD public libraries and sports centres from today (April 1) to October 31. With panel text and photos, this roving exhibition showcases the exquisite murals from the Dunhuang Caves, recreating the rich tapestry of life during the Sui and Tang dynasties. It guides audiences to explore the splendour of a millennium past, immersing themselves in Dunhuang art and the openness and prosperity of Sui and Tang society. Admission is free.
Dunhuang is a pivotal hub along the ancient Silk Road, renowned worldwide for its rich cultural heritage. The murals within the Dunhuang Caves depict scenes of daily life, rare treasures and figures ranging from officials to common folk. These portrayals encapsulate the ancient society, showcasing the multicultural tapestry of Dunhuang as an important stop on the Silk Road and offering a glimpse into the social landscape at that time.
To complement this roving exhibition, the CCPO will organise a series of public and school education activities. These will include the "Unveiling History" outreach programme held in local primary and secondary schools, where interactive teaching methods will allow students to learn about the history and culture of the Sui and Tang dynasties through Dunhuang art. Additionally, experts and education officers from the Dunhuang Academy will be invited to Hong Kong to deliver a public lecture and conduct school educational workshops. Using the mural paintings of the Dunhuang Caves, these activities will showcase the multicultural diversity and prosperity of Sui and Tang society, aiming to enhance public interest in Chinese history and strengthen a sense of belonging and identity with traditional culture.
