From Hexi Corridor to Feilai Peak - Using the Uṣṇīṣavijayā Cult as an Example to Discuss the Interaction of Sino-Tibetan Buddhist Art from the 10th to 14th Century. The Refined Heart Series- Lecture 7 of the Distinguished Aesthetic Education Masters Forum. Guangdong Polytechnic Normal University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China, 23 April 2025.

Abstract
Focusing on the historical context of multicultural integration between the 10th and 14th centuries, Dr. Shen systematically traced the spread of the cultural and religious symbol of Uṣṇīṣavijayā from the Han regions during the Tang Dynasty to various regimes such as the Song, Liao, Western Xia, and Tibetan Empire. She emphasized that the shared reverence for Uṣṇīṣavijayā cult and culture by these ethnically diverse regimes-including the Song, Liao, Western Xia, Dali, and Tibet-vividly illustrates the spiritual core of diversity in the unity of Chinese nation.
