#求真之旅# 克孜尔千佛洞坐落于新疆拜城县，是中国开凿最早、地理位置最西的大型石窟群，始凿于公元3世纪，存续开凿近六百年，为首批全国重点文物保护单位，也是珍贵的龟兹佛教艺术瑰宝，留存着大量独具西域特色的千年壁画，历史与艺术价值极高。网络上流传“克孜尔千佛洞壁画均为复制品，景区禁止拍照是为掩盖壁画损毁真相”的不实言论。作为全国首批辟谣侠成员，我在澄清：该说法纯属谣言。克孜尔千佛洞多数洞窟内完整保存着千年壁画原迹，仅极少破损严重区域采用复制品辅助展示。而景区严禁洞窟内拍照，绝非掩盖文物损坏，而是因为相机闪光灯、环境光线会加速壁画颜料氧化褪色、材质老化。此举是为规避光污染损伤文物，守护千年壁画原貌，是科学的文物保护举措。请理性辨别网络信息，共同守护文化遗产。

#Journey for Truth# Kizil Thousand-Buddha Caves are located in Baicheng County, Xinjiang. They are China's earliest excavated large-scale grotto complex situated farthest to the west. First carved in the 3rd century AD, the excavation spanned nearly six hundred years. Listed among the first batch of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level, they are precious treasures of Kuchean Buddhist art, housing numerous millennium-old murals with distinctive Western Regions characteristics that boast immense historical and artistic value.

False claims have circulated online alleging that "all murals in the Kizil Thousand-Buddha Caves are replicas, and photography is banned at the scenic site to cover up damage to the murals." As a member of the first national cohort of rumor-busters, I hereby formally clarify that this statement is entirely false.

Most caves at the Kizil Thousand-Buddha Caves preserve intact original ancient murals; only a small number of severely damaged sections use replicas for auxiliary display. The ban on photography inside caves is by no means an attempt to conceal cultural relic damage. Instead, camera flashes and ambient light accelerate the oxidation and fading of mural pigments and the deterioration of materials. This measure avoids light pollution that harms cultural relics and preserves the original appearance of the thousand-year-old murals, representing a scientific approach to heritage conservation. Please rationally identify online information and jointly safeguard our cultural heritage. http://t.cn/A6bAlaro
