Across China: Tech meets culture -- China's digital renaissance of ancient heritage

BEIJING, April 26 (Xinhua) -- At the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the over 600-year-old UNESCO World Heritage Site, an animation played guards of honor marching in perfect unison across a projector screen, their movements in lockstep with the graceful melodies of ancient rituals.
"Through virtual and digital display, cultural relics have become 'alive,' enabling viewers to immerse in the lives of ancient people," said Sun Xiaobing, deputy director of Art Exhibitions China.
In recent years, China has used science and technology to breathe new life into its cultural relics and heritage, enriching people's lives while also elevating the nation's cultural influence.
The newly revised cultural relics protection law, enacted in March, stipulates that technology, informatization, digitalization, and digital display should all play a bigger role in cultural relic protection.
Along with rising cultural fervor in recent years, exhibition formats are far beyond physical display and written introduction, said Li Li, deputy director of the China Academy of Cultural Heritage.
"Cutting-edge technologies like AI, VR and AR provide multidimensional methods for the preservation, utilization and exhibition of relics," said Li.
