Ancient Dunhuang manuscripts housed abroad have been edited and published by the Institute for Overseas
National Literature of Northwest Minzu University since 2006. Up till now, 9 manuscripts kept in the British Library
and22 inthe National Library of France have been finished, the institute said on April 24, 2018.
Tens of thousands of valuable ancient documents and cultural relics, discovered in the Mogao Grottos in
Dunhuang, Gansu province, were scattered overseas in the early 20th century. Dunhuang manuscripts currently in
the British Library and the National Library of France are the most important ancient national documents housed
abroad.
Co-edited by Institute for Overseas National Literature of Northwest Minzu University, Shanghai Classics
Publishing House, the British Library and the National Library of France, these Dunhuang manuscripts return home
in publication form for the first time. The institute is also preparing an online database of the manuscripts.
According to Cai Rang, associate director of the institute, Dunhuang manuscripts scattered overseas in Russia,
Britain, France and Japan have rich contents, including Buddhism law, social contract, history,linguisticsand art.
The institute has edited and published 31 manuscripts over the past 13 years, but the work has not been finished.
It plans to publish 15 from the British Library and over 30 from the National Library of France all together. In
addition, it will also publish manuscripts collected by other countries.
“Some manuscripts are hard to read because of the indecipherable words. So we read carefully and
understand them by comparing with Buddhism documents handed down from ancient times,” Cai said. “Next,
document classification and compilation will be our key work for further research.”
The work done by the institute is helpful to study the history and culture of Tubo(present-day Tibet) during
the period of 8th to 11th century and the history of national cultural exchanges at that time. 4. When did so many valuable ancient documents, discovered in the Mogao Grottos, were scattered overseas?
A. In the late 19th century. B. In the middle of the 19th century.
C. At the beginning of the 19th century. D. At the beginning of the 20th century.
