Flying in Dunhuang is a personal business card of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and a symbol of Dunhuang culture. As long as you see the beautiful moon, everyone will think of the plastic arts of Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Among the 492 caves in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, there are basically moon-flying pictures. According to the preface made by Mr. Chang Shuhong for the plastic arts propaganda album Flying Dunhuang, "there are more than 4,500 pieces", which can be said to be the most preserved grottoes in the world.

The artistic style of flying in Dunhuang is not to grow wings and feathers, not to rely on clouds instead of clouds, but to fly with long skirts and colorful silks. Different shapes and postures. This is also the brand image written by Dunhuang Tian Fei on the basis of national tradition, digesting, absorbing and combining with the creation and development trend of foreign flying moon plastic arts. Since running to the moon only plays a foil role in the cave, it does not occupy a major position, so it is only introduced in detail in stages.
