I personally agree that culture is the product of the historical development of human society, and it is the sum total of a nation or country's history, geography, politics, traditional customs, customs, lifestyle, literature and art, religious beliefs and other related aspects. In this sense, Dunhuang murals are undoubtedly an indispensable part of China's ancient cultural system. The artistic image of Dunhuang pipa playing is not a cultural artistic image, but a synthesis of various cultures.
Many people think that the earliest visual art form of human beings is painting. Both the African rock paintings dating back more than 10,000 years and the murals of the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, China, have proved this point. Painting, as an artistic creation form with representation as the means and everything in the world as the object, has already penetrated into all aspects of life in the long process of human development. As an art form that goes deep into the people and is widely distributed, China ancient murals undoubtedly embody all aspects of China ancient folk culture.
In the image of a geisha in Pipa Story, the main clothing on her body is not a brown shirt that fits her body, but fluttering and winding stripes, showing an ethereal and cheerful spiritual realm and elegant national style. Ji Letian's characters remain in an extraterritorial form, but the composition, environment and props are not affected by the territory, and the painter created them according to his familiar folk culture. Ancient artists boldly got rid of Buddhist rules and regulations, broke the shackles of feudal society, skillfully used exaggeration and imagination, and created murals with folk cultural characteristics that transcended religious content, had romantic style and beautified real life with bold brushstrokes and contrasting colors in a limited space.
