Most publications of Dunhuang Studies can be divided into three groups, specialised works, works of general theory and popular readings, and other subjects that might be similar. At least to authors, there are differences in targeted readers and writing purposes among the three groups. Concerning the readers, papers and specialised works mainly target scholars; works of general theory, the intellectual including scholars and undergraduates of different majors; popular readings, to the public. Of course, these are roughly divided by group readers. To individuals, things can be complex, as exceptions might as well exist. Concerning the author’s competence and writing purposes, the specialised works require authors to have an in-depth vision and outstanding insight as well as critical thinking ability and analytical ability, and the primary value of the writing is to pursue new creativity and profound analysis; works of general theory demand highly summative and conclusive ability, precisely logical thinking ability and verbally expressive ability and the content ought to be accurately summarised, reasonably mapped out, clearly organised and briefly and smoothly expressed; popular readings need authors to be able to illuminate specialised and systematic knowledge in simple and lively expressions, to turn profound specialised knowledge into light reading for public and the content ought to be easily comprehensible and funny and vivid. According to the classification mentioned above, the basic requirements for works of general theory are accurately summarised, reasonably mapped out, clearly organised and briefly and smoothly expressed. To accurately summarise means authors have to tell profound specialised knowledge of the theory to readers inaccurate and briefwords.Authors of suchworksmight not have mastered all the book’s content, and it is indispensable for them to summarise the research of others. The differences between general theory and personalworks lie in the latter mainly reflecting personal knowledge while the former is the academic community’s common knowledge. So it is an essential skill for them to summarise and conclude common knowledge. To reasonably map out means, authors need to present the connotation and nature of the subject to readers with the proper system and organisational structure, which requires them to have a highly comprehensive ability. As different subjects have a different connotation, nature or outlook, the system and organisational structure of such works must be consistent with the demands of the content. For instance, Dunhuang Studies is an inter-discipline, and its outlook is entirely different from that of a single discipline like history or literature, which their content can classify. Therefore, the system and organisational structure of Dunhuang Studies must have their characteristics. To organise means a good work of general theory must be precisely logical. Both the organisation of the content and the expression of language must be logical to help readers understand and learn about the general ideas of the subject. As for the language, it ought to be brief and smooth. Brevity is a common requirement for all three groups. As works of general theory target readers from different majors, writing needs to be more smooth to avoid rigour and obscurity. Regarding the development of Dunhuang Studies,works of three groups may cater to the needs of different readers with separate values. Over more than 100 years, the Dunhuang circle has contributed many fruits with much experience. As far as I know, the earliest publication of Dunhuangological general theory was Dunhuang-Great Cultural Treasure by Jiang Liangfu, published by Shanghai Classic Literature Press in 1956. In Taiwan, Overview of Dunhuang Studies by Su Yinhui was published in 1965. Before opening up and reform, they were the only two works of general theory on Dunhuang Studies.
