Twelve Fairy MaidensThe flying fairies of Dunhuang originated from the ancient Indian myths of Gantalva and Jinnaro. After they were introduced to China, they fused with the local culture and became the heavenly people of music and dance in the Buddhist pure land world, implying good luck, beauty and peace. They were beautiful, elegant, and mysterious. They wore gorgeous clothes, garlands on their heads, and danced in the air with musical instruments in their hands.
There are many murals of flying fairies in the Mogao Grottoes. After the construction of the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Northern Dynasties, the Sui Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, the Five Dynasties, the Western Xia Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty and other dynasties, it has formed a huge scale. There are 735 caves, 45,000 square meters of murals and 2415 clay sculptures. It is the largest and most abundant Buddhist art site in the world. In these murals, there are various images of flying fairies, sometimes solo dancers, sometimes group dancers, or holding pipa, harp, pan flute and other musical instruments to play, or dancing with ribbons. The most famous one is the "Rebound Pipa" flying fairy in Cave 328 of Mogao Grottoes.
In modern times, the image of Dunhuang Flying Fairy was also widely used. For example, in the Lanzhou Marathon, Henan women competed in Dunhuang Flying Fairy costumes, and Zhao Liying's photos of Dunhuang Flying Fairy caused heated discussion, all of which showed the unique charm and cultural influence of the image of Dunhuang Flying Fairy. However, there was no information about the specific combination named "Twelve Fairy Maidens." If this was a specific creation or a new concept, more background information might be needed to answer.
