Chinese frescoes date back to the prehistoric period some 10,000 years ago. People carved images of human activities and natural views on rocks. Excavated from tombs built 2,200 years ago, the bǐ huà remains clear, vivid and colourful.
Legend has it that an ancient painter drew a dragon on the wall and when he added eyes to the drawing the image turned into a real dragon. With the introduction of Buddhism to China, bǐ huà on the subject of religion rapidly developed.
The bǐ huà, or frescoes, in the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are the most famous ones in China. They are a collection of masterpieces of numerous painters in the past 1,000 years. They tell historical tales and religious stories.单词速记：
