Music and Dance Art in Early Dunhuang Grottoes: A Showcase of Sense of Community for the Chinese Nation

敦煌早期石窟乐舞艺术虽为古代北方匈奴族、鲜卑族所创,但其在开窟造像中却显露出强烈的“华化”思想与中华民族共同体意识。本文对敦煌早期北凉、北魏、西魏、北周石窟乐舞艺术的本质与内涵及古代匈奴族、鲜卑族为中华民族共同体意识的形成与发展所作的贡献进行了分析,认为,敦煌早期石窟乐舞艺术如实反映了自古以来中华民族“多元一体”的共同体格局,并希望在未来的研究与创作中开阔思路,将早期石窟乐舞艺术纳入当代敦煌舞建构体系。
