CFT - Djiayukuan (Jiayuguan) 嘉峪關, Chienfotung (Qianfodong) 千佛洞 and Tunhuang (Dunhuang) 敦煌

Photographs taken by Joseph Needham during the Northwest journey at Jiayuguan, Qianfodong and Dunhuang. When their truck broke down and a new engine was required, Dr. Needham and his companions were forced to stay at the Buddhist temple caves at Qianfodong for nearly a month. With him were SBSCO staff member H.T. Huang 黃興宗, Rewi Alley (1897-1987), Sun Guangjun 孫光俊 and Wang Wansheng 王萬盛, two boys from the Lanchow Bailie School, the painter Wu Zuoren 吳作人 (1908-1997), truck driver Kuang Wei 鄺威 and a mechanic from Lanchow Yu Dexin 俞德新. He also met there photographer Luo Jimei 羅寄梅 of the Central Press Agency and his wife Lo Fang 羅芳 and some resident Tibetan Buddhist priests. Although he did not have a flash with him, Dr. Needham was able to take many photographs of the oasis and surrounding areas as well as the outside of the caves. The photographs have been rearranged from their original sequence into chronological order.

照片是李约瑟博士在西北旅途中参观嘉峪关、千佛洞和敦煌时所拍摄的。由于卡车在旅行途中坏了，需要更换新的发动机，李约瑟博士和他的同伴为此被迫在千佛洞的寺庙中呆了接近一个月。 陪同他的有中英科学合作馆的黃興宗, ，路易-艾黎 Rewi Alley (1897-1987),孫光俊和王萬盛, 来自兰州培黎学校的两个男孩, 画家吳作人 (1908-1997),卡车司机鄺威和来自兰州的机械师余德新. 在那里他还遇到了中央通讯社的摄影师羅寄梅和他的妻子羅芳和居住在那里的一些藏传佛教的僧人。 尽管李约瑟博士没有携带闪光灯，他还是拍摄了绿洲及周围的许多照片，还有洞外的一些照片。 这些照片已经按照年代顺序重新进行排列。
