The Space Form of Cave 61 of Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang
Starting from the composition of the 61st grotto space in the Mogao Grottoes,this study analyzes the site selection and external environment of the grottoes,the composition elements of the interior space of the grottoes,and the aesthetic form of the grotto space construction through research methods such as image comparison,classification summary,and conjecture demonstration.The formation factors of the spatial form of Cave 61 were discussed,mainly including the joint influence of traditional Chinese culture and Buddhist culture,the political and religious will of political rulers,and the constraints on the construction of grottoes by cave builders.Exploring the concept of a natural and harmonious space between humans,Buddha,and mountains is an important principle in the spatial design of Cave 61.
