Travel through ancient buildings and unlock the secrets of Mogao Grottoes in Black Myth: Wukong

You can learn knowledge while playing games! Black Myth: Wukong amazes everyone with wave after wave of cultural symbols. Every detail is full of cultural output, which instantly ignites the oriental blood in my bones! Today, I will take you to dig deep into the cultural Easter eggs in the game and feel this wonderful collision across time and space! Mysterious murals in the game In the Land Temple of Black Wind Ridge, there is a link to "burn incense." I don't know if you have noticed that the murals on the two doors of the shrine are actually very meaningful! They are taken from the Maitreya Sutra in Cave 322 of the Mogao Grottoes! I have to admire the game production team for their intentions to integrate the artistic treasures of thousands of years ago into the game scene, allowing players to encounter history inadvertently. The Manjusri Transformation and Samantabhadra Transformation on the north and south sides of the main wall of Cave 159 of the Mogao Grottoes are so vividly displayed in front of you! The unexpected surprise came too suddenly! For a long time, many people have believed that the Sutra Transformation paintings of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty were less vivid and more stylized than those of the High Tang Dynasty. This dense, full, yet orderly style is more delicate and rich, with stories hidden in every line and color. In particular, the classic turquoise landscape tone is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, as if traveling through time and space, freezing the gorgeous colors of thousands of years ago here. It's hard to express the excitement of being able to face my favorite murals in the game! However, it would be even more perfect if it could be better. It's a little regretful that the murals on the opposite wall are exactly the same.
