Ye Zhou said that "Great Dunhuang" is an "early book full of my infinite efforts and expectations."
All along, in Ye Zhou's discourse system, "Dunhuang" is not only the Mogao Grottoes, but also includes the Hexi Corridor and even the entire Silk Road, it is the "frontier of Chinese culture", the hub of multiple cultures, and the "motif" of his writing. At the launch ceremony that night, Ye Zhou once again said affectionately: "Dunhuang is the 'motif' of all my writing. ”

Excerpts from the recitation
Greetings
Say to the sea: Flock.
Say to the night: Be brave.
Before a person is about to arrive, work hard
Say it: wings.
I sat in the darkness of the world and turned it over
Map of spiders.
Yes, say to an ant: rainy season.
Say to the river: Shore.
There was a sunny roof, and it carried
Pray for the backbone, say a word: direction.
Why not? I saw sunflowers all over the world
They say: Peace.
Haha, the sun is in town, one
The dark baby said: The future.
Say to the bridge of the swan: Dream.
Then, to the boiling love, say: Muddy.
Horses of the frontier, horses of spring
It became my right and left neighbor.
Say to the hoe: Earth.
To a long story: Xiu Yuan.
I remember the consequences and the antecedents—I sipped them
Brilliant stars, said: Go well.
So long, a man is still on the road
So I know there's a bunch of bones that still have a chill.
Mogao Caves
In the cave, meet the Buddha in the morning
Feed the three animals and then sprinkle the streets with clear water
Go to the market to buy vegetables and cigarettes
In the cave, invite the immortals down
Sunbathing at noon Doze off if the crown of the phoenix
There was a sickness, kasumi tearing up by the way, picked up the needle and thread
In the cave, light a lamp for the human world
Pen and ink Write down the flow of the day someone
Fertility, some people die, and that's all
In the cave sit opposite the lotus flower against each other
Knowing this boiling world, it is quiet
It's like a game of chess that never finishes
