It is well known the spread of Tang Dynasty Christians is the first development of Christianity in China, and Nestorianism is widely regarded as main kind of Christianity found in the Tang Dynasty. It is referred to as the “Luminous Religion”, but also called Syrian/Persian Christianity. In the past century a lot of Christian documents and relics are discovered in China, especially in Dunhuang, Gansu Province. These research materials found in Dunhuang are used widely by Chinese or Non-Chinese scholars, and greatly push forward the study of early Chinese Christianity. Scholars had acquired a lot of brilliant achievements on Tang dynasty Christians study by joint efforts. Some scholars, especially P. Y. Saeki, have made a preliminary understanding of unearthed documents and archaeological materials about it. However in terms of research materials found in Dunhuang, there is still much to do in probing into interactions between materials and research jobs. The article sorts out the information known for the Christian documents and relics at Dunhuang from 7th century A. D. to 14th century A. D., which will support a strong foundation for making further headway on Dunhuang Christian tradition in the 21st century.

지금 널리 알려진 고대 중국 기독교의 자료 중 일부는 돈황에서 발굴된 것이다. 중국 고대 기독교에 대한 인식 또한 일정 부분에서는 돈황에서 발굴된 자료에 의거한 것이다. 1937년에 출판된 佐伯好郎의 영문저작 󰡔中国景教文献及其遗迹󰡕은 중국경교기록 유물에 대하여 당시 가장 전면적이고 세밀하게 정리한 연구이다. 그러나 1980～90년대에 이 책이 출간된 후에 새로운 자료가 잇달아 발견 되었는데, 돈황에서 시리아 문자로 된 기독교문서가 발견되었으며 막고굴 북쪽 석굴에서 기독교 십자가가 출토 되였다. 본 논문은 기존 연구자들의 연구 업적을 기초로 하여 당, 오대, 송, 원시기의 돈황의 기독교 문헌 및 유물을 한층 더 정리하였다.
