简述敦煌莫高窟保护管理工作的探索和实践

Exploration and Practice in the Conservation and Management of the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes

笔者从上世纪60年代至今,与莫高窟的工作人员一起致力于莫高窟遗产地的保护现状的提升,从最初的管理摸索,到逐步引入先进的管理和保护理念、与盖蒂保护所等多家国外文物保护机构合作,最终将敦煌莫高窟的文物保护工作与旅游管理工作做到全国领先乃至世界瞩目的水平。这是数十年所有参与莫高窟保护工作的国内外专家们坚持与努力的结果。

Since the 1960 s, the author has been working together with the staff of the Dunhuang Academy to improve conservation work at the Mogao Grottoes heritage site. From initial basic management to the introduction of advanced management strategy and conservation philosophy, even including collaboration with foreign institutions on several artifact conservation projects, the cultural relic conservation and tourist management at Mogao has risen to a leading position in China and even in the world thanks to the persistence and hard work of both domestic and foreign experts engaged in conservation work at Mogao over the past decades. This paper presents a brief introduction to this process.
