With the rise of the Silk Road and Buddhism, glassware was introduced to China from Central Asia, West Asia, South Asia, and other places, and was valued by the upper class for its rarity, becoming a symbol of wealth and identity. The combination of glassware and Buddhist culture has been given a unique meaning，and it is the externalization of Buddhist material thought. Dunhuang murals contain a large number of glassware with different forms and functions, which is not only a reflection of Buddhist culture but also a true portrayal of cultural exchanges between East and West from the 5th to the 10th century.
