New uniforms integrating elements of Dunhuang culture for students of a school in Dunhuang, a city known for its Mogao Grottoes, in northwest China's Gansu Province, have recently attracted widespread attention.

Elements of a mural found inside cave No. 31 of the Mogao Grottoes were added to the design of the uniforms of Dunhuang No. 4 Middle School , explained Wang Rong, a teacher at the school.

In recent years, Dunhuang has been making constant efforts to introduce Dunhuang culture to its schools.

In October 2020, a video of students in school uniform doing the "Dunhuang dance," a genre of classical dance, in the playground of a high school during a class break went viral. The dance they were doing has now become a required course for students at the high school.

Other schools including Dunhuang No. 2 Middle School have also combined Duhuang culture with their school activities so that students can appreciate the charm of Dunhuang culture.

Schools in Dunhuang will continue to promote Dunhuang culture through a wide range of activities.
