Shazhou Uighur Caves and the Uighur Regime in Dunhuang
Dunhuang's Uighur-style murals are generally regarded as significant historical relics of the independent"Shazhou Uighur Regime,"but this interpretation is not entirely accurate.Firstly,images of Uighur kings in Uighur attire appear not only in the caves from the Shazhou Uighur period but also in those from the late Cao clan period.Secondly,the so-called"Shazhou Uighur Caves,"characterized by Uighur-style murals,can be traced back to the late Cao clan Guiyi Army period.These caves,along with the"green murals,"which com-plicate the chronological classification of Dunhuang's late caves,appeared simultaneously and developed to-gether,continuing into the Shazhou Uighur period.After the Shazhou Uighur period,influenced by remnants of the Cao clan,the pure style of the"green murals"re-emerged in Dunhuang.Based on the different distri-butions of male and female donors in Uighur and Cao attire caves with exclusively Cao-dressed female donors likely belong to the late Cao period while caves with donor images exclusively in Uighur attire can be con-firmed as from the Shazhou Uighur period.
