Editorial Principles
The standards behind Dunhuang Within, including evidence, cultural respect, health boundaries, corrections, and human review.
Our commitments
We separate documented history from interpretation, prefer primary and institutional sources, and never invent quotations, rituals, credentials, or first-hand experience.
We avoid diagnostic language and unsupported health claims. Reflection and travel guidance are not medical care. We describe cultures and sacred sites in context rather than converting them into wellness commodities.
Substantive updates receive a visible updated date. Corrections are made promptly when reliable evidence shows an error.
