In one ancient Chinese story, there is a magic deer. She has beautiful nine-colored fur. The deer is kind and helps people who are sick and poor. In fact, this nine-colored deer comes from a painting in the Mogao Grottoes (莫高窟) in Dunhuang, Gansu.

The grottoes were created in AD 366. They hold the world’s best cave art. The clay figures (泥塑) and paintings on the wall are the Mogao Grotto’s greatest treasures. There are more than 2,000 colored clay figures in 492 caves. The tallest is 34.5 meters high while the smallest is only 2 cm, China Daily reported.

The most beautiful paintings are of dancing, flying fairies (飞天). They wear beautiful costumes. Among them, a fairy plays a pipa (琵琶) behind her back. This painting has given dancers in modern times lots of new ideas.

Besides the value of its art, the Mogao Grotto paintings also show how ancient people lived. Some show people farming, eating and fighting. Others show their wedding and funeral customs. In 1987 the Mogao Caves became a UNESCO World Heritage (遗产) Site.
