Lying in grassland at the edge of the Taklamakan Desert, Dunhuang was one of the first trading cities encountered by traders arriving in China from the West. The remarkable Mogao Caves contain the largest storeroom of historic documents along the Silk Road and bear witness to the cultural, religious, social and commercial activities that took place in Dunhuang. The Mogao Caves show not only the religious importance of Dunhuang, but also its significance as a centre of cultural and commercial exchange. One of the caves, known as the Library Cave, contains as many as 40,000 scrolls, which are of great value to the understanding of the cultural diversity of this Silk Road city. The earliest text dates back to 405 AD, while the latest 1002 AD. The arrangement of documents in the Library Cave shows that they were purposely stored there, and it seems likely that the local temples used the cave as a storeroom. According to these documents, a large number of imports arrived from as far away as north-east Europe. Interestingly, the scrolls that mention caravans (商队) are usually recorded in Sogdian, Uighur, or Turco-Sogdian, indicating that they were indited by the foreign traders in the city. Dunhuang was not simply a receiver of trade, and it had a very active export market, too. The scrolls refer to a large number of goods produced in the city and sold to foreign traders. Crafts and skills also moved along the Silk Road as traders and craftsmen met and exchanged notes. Some scrolls illustrate the use of woodblock printing in Dunhuang, a technique that originated in China in the early 8th century. Woodblock printing later spread across Asia, as traders passed on the crafts and skills that they had acquired while travelling along the Silk Road. 1. What do we know about Dunhuang? A. It made the Taklamakan Desert well-known. B. It acted as the centre of the Silk Road network. C. It moved to its present position due to the Silk Road. D. It was one of the first trading cities in China for Westerners. 2. What is the greatest value of the scrolls in the Library Cave according to the text? A. Their long history. B.
