From the 3rd century to the 6th century,China's Central Plains music culture experienced the process of spreading to the surrounding areas and then reentering the Central Plains.During this period,the Hexi Corridor in northwest China was an important hub for preserving the Central Plains culture and accept-ing the cultures of various ethnic groups in the Western Regions.Through the specific research on the histor-ical facts related to the music and dance images in Shaling Tomb No.7 in Datong,and the comparison with similar images along the Silk Road of the same period,we can find that the specific contents of the music and dance images in Shaling Tomb No.7 of Northern Wei Dynasty in Datong should derive from the north-west of China,which further reflects the importance of multicultural exchanges,interaction and integration along the Silk Road.
