The ancestors of Siba in the bronze age in Dunhuang area were more influenced by the civilization of the two rivers in West Asia.

West Asian civilization is the general name of many ancient countries formed with the two river basins as the core. These two rivers refer to the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. In ancient times (before the unification of Persia), the two rivers civilization was the most splendid civilization in the world and the earliest civilization in West Asia. The world's earliest cities, characters, metal smelting technology, codes and hexadecimal systems all appeared here.

Dunhuang, located at the western end of Hexi Corridor, is adjacent to the Western Regions in the west. As early as around 2000 BC, under the influence of the civilization of the two rivers in West Asia, the ancestors of the Siba culture in the Bronze Age began to develop Dunhuang area. After the opening of the county in the Han Dynasty, the immigrants from the Central Plains merged with the legacy of Yue and Xiongnu, and developed together, which made the local area rich in Central Plains culture and cultural traditions closely related to Central and Western Asia, forming a cultural gene of self-tolerance in this area.

Dunhuang culture is the crystallization of long-term exchanges and integration of various civilizations. In the long history of more than 2,000 years since the Han Dynasty, Dunhuang has always been based on the traditional civilization of China, constantly absorbing the civilization achievements of other regions and nationalities. Dunhuang culture, which is pluralistic and integrated, has always inherited the essence of China's traditional culture, and at the same time shines with the bright light of ancient Indian civilization, Persian civilization and Greek civilization, and has become a distinctive regional culture that attracts worldwide attention.
