Repository of Ingenuity: Cave 61 and Artistic Appropriation in Tenth-Century Dunhuang
Abstract
In 947 Cao Yuanzhong, military commissioner of the Hexi region and the de facto ruler of Dunhuang, began the construction of Cave 61 at Mogao in northwestern China. The structure's architecture, location, and pictorial program bear a remarkable degree of similarity to the caves of his predecessors. The apparent repetition of the earlier designs has led past scholars to dismiss Cave 61 and the art of the time as formulaic and sterile. A closer look at Cave 61 reveals that this project was in fact motivated by a new understanding and practice of artistic appropriation in tenth-century Dunhuang.

“During this period, the late-eighth to eleventh centuries, a dramatic and irrevocable shift to trompe l ' oeil stylization occurs to a degree never seen before (a true sinicization of Buddhism if the comments of Rawson and others hold value). 24”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
