A Chinese girl recreated a Dunhuang mural(壁画)
When it comes to Dunhuang, nothing is more famous than Dunhuang murals. A Chinese girl has spent half a year recreating a 2.1-meter high one, which has drawn public attention quickly.
Qin Yueyu is a graduate student, who is from the Shandong University of Arts. This mural is her graduate project, which is her partial(部分的) recreation Cave 159 of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. The mural is rich in color, with red and green as the main colors. The figures in the painting are lifelike and have the charm of the Middle Tang Dynasty.
Interest is the best teacher. Qin Yueyu has always been particularly interested in art. "The Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang aroused my interest when I was watching The Nine Colored Deer, a Chinese cartoon film, as a child," said Qin. The Nine-colored Deer is based on a mural discovered from the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang. Apart from recreating ancient murals, she also has a good interest in culture, for example she has learned some knowledge about the protection of ancient cultural relics.
"I hope that I can make a contribution to the protection and inheritance(传承)of excellent traditional Chinese culture, so that people will know more about China's ancient murals," said Qin.
