Since the opening of the Silk Road in the Western Han Dynasty, Dunhuang has become one of the important towns on the Silk Road, and the merchants and garrisons have made Dunhuang glorious for more than a thousand years. By the time Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty was weak and incompetent, and it was not able to recover the Hexi Corridor. At this time, Dunhuang was controlled by the local separatist regime since the late Tang Dynasty and was under the control of the Yi Army, and faced the threat of the Uighurs and the Islamic forces in the Western Regions.

At this time, Dunhuang was called Shazhou.

In the fifth year of Song Xianping (1002), there was a mutiny within the Guiyi Army, and Cao Yanlu, the leader of the Guiyi Army, and his brother Cao Yanrui were forced to commit suicide. Cao Zongshou, the son of Yanlu, mastered the power of the Guiyi Army under the recommendation of everyone, and the Song Dynasty appointed Cao Zongshou as the envoy of the Guiyi Army. While the war and civil strife led to the rapid decline of the Cao Guiyi regime, the Uighur forces in the Shazhou region developed rapidly during this period and became an important counterweight to the Guiyi regime.

At this time, the Guiyi regime was so vulnerable that any external attack and internal unrest would be enough to overthrow it. This caused extreme panic among the Buddhist forces in Shazhou, which were under the protection of the Guiyi regime.

In the third year of Jingde (1006), the Heihan Dynasty that believed in Islam destroyed the Khotanese Buddhist kingdom, and this news was likely to be known by the Khotanese people who fled east from the Shazhou monasteries, under the influence of the idea of the extinction of Buddhism and the threat of Muslims advancing eastward, some monasteries in the Mogao Grottoes gathered some important scriptures and Buddha statues, banner paintings, etc., and collected them in the cave where the scriptures, foreign scriptures, outdated documents, old banner paintings, and Buddha statues were originally stored in the temples (now numbered Cave 17), and the entrance of the cave was sealed. The necessary cover-up was made. Later, due to the gradual death of the person concerned and the person in the know, the situation of the cave was no longer known to the world.

May 26, the 26th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1900 AD). Wang Yuanqi, a Taoist priest who lived in the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, was cleaning up the sand in the cave (Cave No. 16 of the Dunhuang Academy), when the sand cracked out of the wall and found a hidden annex room. When opened, this small cave was densely packed with bundles of scriptures, documents, and cultural relics, from the ground to the roof, and those who saw it were amazed by the spectacle, and those who heard it were said to be divine objects.

This is the world-famous Dunhuang Scripture Cave.

It is said that Wang Yuanzhen of Mogao Grottoes liked to smoke at that time, and after smoking, he knocked the smoke pot on the wall a few times, and the result was knocked out of the Tibetan scripture cave. There is also a theory that the cave was discovered while clearing the quicksand.

The wonderful thing is that Wang Yuanqi is a Taoist priest, but he found the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave in the Buddhist resort, but those Buddhists did not do it, which has to make people sigh at the wonder of the fate.
