Abstract

Chinese calligraphy and poetry are important components of Chinese traditional culture, with profound historical significance and cultural symbols. In the vicissitudes of history, they have experienced wars and various factors have led to them not being given important attention. But their place in the Chinese cultural system cannot be ignored. In particular, the relationship between poetry and Chinese calligraphy was important in the Central Plains Dynasty's control of Dunhuang. By analyzing the unearthed relics of Dunhuang calligraphy works and the original poems unearthed in Dunhuang, this study explores how Chinese calligraphy and poetry reflect the changes of ancient history and their impact on society. Research shows that these art forms are not only the expression of personal feelings and thoughts, but also important materials for historical research. It can confirm the appearance of politics and society at that time from the side, and provide valuable materials for modern scholars to study history, so that we can better understand the evolution of Chinese history and cultural integration.
