Abstract

Since the Han and Jin dynasties, when Buddhism flourished, people believed in the present life and even more so in the afterlife, and thus there were many prestigious families who built large numbers of burial plots, and a large number of tiles with patterns were a product of the reverence for thick burial. In Dunhuang to date, tens of thousands of flower tiles have been unearthed from the tombs of the Sui, Tang, and Yuan dynasties, and they are still being unearthed today. Dunhuang tiles with patterns have an important decorative role in Dunhuang art. Each tile has a unique ornamental value and blends in with the overall architecture. It is also an integral part of Dunhuang’s architectural art. The objective of the study is to analyze the historical evolution of Dunhuang tiles with patterns to reflect the indelible value of Dunhuang tiles in the overall Dunhuang culture and art. By examining the Dunhuang Museum, and Dunhuang tiles with patterns from various historical periods, I use the field investigation method, and literature reading to analyze and summarize.
