In order to further confirm the identity of the four portraits of Khotan king's statue of Dunhuang Grottoes and the source of its costume system, the costume and the related historical materials by iconology was analyzed in this paper, which combined the relevant literature, archaerological materials and image data. The costume system, especially the Central Plains dynasty's conscription of the Khotan Kingdom, from Five dynasties to Early Song dynasty was mainly focused on. Besides, the background and accurate identity of the Khotan king wearing six diadems and five diadems in Dunhuang Grottoes was researched. The results show that the statue of King Khotan wearing the crown of six diadems in Cave 98, Cave 454 and Cave 4 of Mogao Grottoes is Li Shengtian, and the statue of King Khotan wearing the crown of five diadems in Cave 31 of Yulin Grottoes is Li Shengtian's successor, Yu Chisuluo. The images of Khotan kings with different costumes in Dunhuang grottoes prove the close relationship between Khotan in the Five dynasties and the early Song dynasty with the Dunhuang Cao's Guiyijun regime and the Central Plains dynasty, and reflect the relationship between Khotan and the Central Plains dynasty at that time.
