The paper also studies the spreading and development situation of Confucian Classics and Dark Learning, which are the two primary academics, in Dunhuang Region, by the case study of Dunhuang region, to trace the track of Central Plains Academics spreading in the border region.The Dunhuang local scholar-genties started to be knew in mid- Two Hans Dynasties, late East-Han dynasty more precisely. They played the role in Chinese academics, tended to focusing on Confucian Classics in Modern Script. The fall of central power of East-Han dynasty departed Dunghuang local academics from Central Plains for almost 30 years. During that departing period, Central Plains' academics changed dramatically. Dark Learning became the dominated academics thoughts of China instead of Confusion Classics. Due to the geographical obstacle, Dark Learning did not become the predominant thought in the period of Wei Jin dynasty. Confusion Classics, which is considered more utilitarian academics, still stayed in the central stage. Liang Chow became the academic center after the war of West-Jin Central Plains. The rising of academics in Liang Chow was the result of its own development process. It also gained the superiority position due to the interruption and halt of academics development of Central Plaints by the war. The academics of Liang Chow was influent very little by external.
