This is a copying painting book of Mogao Caves. In ancient times, Dunhuang was the center of trade along the Silk Road. The historical city is famous for the Mogao Caves. The author is a researcher of Dunhuang's research institute and he has lived in Dunhuang for 40 years. This book is his paintings of Mogao Caves. The target audience is mural painting professionals and fans.

This is a hand-made book with custom-made bamboo paper. The papers were teared into small pieces and pasted on the book covers. So every book has a unique look as a result of this random tearing of paper. For the layout of the book, we made different fragments in each page to restore the features of Mogao Caves as much as we can. It seems like an old and broken book. The book expresses the historical feeling of Mogao Caves and shows special beauty. The production of this handmade book not only enhances the non-reproducibility of each book, but also highlights the experience of the book itself.

本書是敦煌壁畫中舞蹈聲樂部分的臨摹本，
設計上希望在書籍呈現、作品本身與敦煌之間找到壹種原始的聯系和平衡，
盡可能的還原出敦煌的時代感與滄桑感。

整書大部分都是手工完成，
封面選用了特別定制的毛邊紙，
采用手工裝裱拼貼效果。
在內頁的設計上，所有的畫稿都根據需要設計了不同的殘卷效果。
呈現出有年代感的淒美，與絢麗摹本的華美形成強烈對比。
看上去是殘破不堪，但實質是挖掘表現出了特質的美感。
同時，這本手工書的制作不僅增強了每本書的不可復制性，更加突出書籍本身的體驗感。
