Cover Story: Fabricated worlds in tombs and cave temples of the Hexi Corridor show that animals were integral to concepts of earthly and heavenly realms in China’s early medieval period. Domestic animals in third-century tomb paintings establish microcosms, while images dated a century later fuse celestial and terrestrial worlds. In cave temples of the sixth century, proliferating buddhas and bodhisattvas crowd out animals and assert an anthropocentric view of life and paradise. These changes in animal imagery connect to the region’s social, cultural, and demographic transformations, including an initial embrace of pastoralism that was replaced by cosmopolitanism.
