Unprecedented: A Study on the Founding and Influence of the National Dunhuang Art Research Institute

20世纪40年代,国立敦煌艺术研究所之设立是近代石窟寺保护事业中的一项创举,是一个前无成例的机构。本文综合利用档案、报刊等资料,梳理了当时围绕着敦煌石窟的保护问题所提出的诸种方案,并对最终选定艺术研究所这一组织形式及其产生之影响进行了分析。此外,又重新检讨国立敦煌艺术研究所裁撤一事,揭出该所改隶中央研究院期间,傅斯年欲将其改组为敦煌古迹保管所之史事。

In the 1940s, the founding of the National Dunhuang Art Research Institute was a milestone of innovation in the modern preservation of Dunhuang cave temples. This paper makes a comprehensive use of historical archives and contemporary newspapers and periodicals to uncover the various conservation strategies used to protect the caves, and to analyze the consequences that choosing to establish the organization as an art institute had on the history of the organization. In addition, the historical research of this paper reexamines the dissolution of the Institute and reveals that when it was affiliated to Academia Sinica,Fu Sinian once intended to incorporate the organization into the Dunhuang Historical Relic Preservation Agency.
