瓜州东千佛洞第7窟凿于西夏时期,在其东壁绘有《涅槃变》一铺,下部有四个世俗乐舞人物,三人奏乐,一人舞蹈。此乐舞图像以世俗乐舞的形式反映了从中原流入的踏歌在西夏的流行,以及通过踏歌艺术礼佛供养的情境,对认识西夏乐舞艺术水平及中原与西夏的乐舞艺术交流具有极为重要的意义。

The music and dance image reflects the popularity of the Tage that flowing from the Central Plains in Western Xia and the scene ofoffering the Buddhas through the Tage in the form ofsecular music and dance of the time. It is of great significance for recognizing the artistic level of music and dance in the Western Xia Regime and the artistic exchange of music and dance between the Central Plains and Regime.
