Recently, the second "Culture + Technology" International Forum and the "'Pattern' to Carry the Road" Forbidden City Tencent Immersive Digital Experience Exhibition opened. The forum was jointly organized by the Forbidden City and Tencent, and the theme was "Impact and Inspiration : A New Leap Forward in Digital Culture Services". This is a grand cultural collection, many big coffee gathered in Shenzhen, around the museum digitalization and the combination of new technology and traditional culture, on the present and future of "culture + technology". As the crystallization of culture and technology, the "'Pattern' to Carry the Road" Forbidden City Tencent Immersive Digital Experience Exhibition was also shockingly unveiled in Shenzhen, which is the time and space roaming of the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, and also the still water flow depth of Chinese culture.
Culture is the blood of the nation and the spiritual homeland of the people, and cultural relics are the witness of history and the carrier of civilization. General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "We must strengthen archaeological work and historical research, so that the cultural relics collected in museums, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books are all alive, so as to enrich the history and culture of the whole society." "The use of scientific and technological means to make cultural relics come alive and spread the unique ideas, wisdom, temperament and charm of Chinese culture can enhance cultural identity, enhance cultural self-confidence, and expand the international influence of Chinese culture."
A museum is a heavy textbook. Condensing and displaying the long history of human civilization and the diverse cultural landscape in a limited space, and providing a cultural vision that gives people thousands of miles, it is the moving place of the museum. In China, the Forbidden City is undoubtedly the most dazzling pearl in the museum. In a sense, walking into the Forbidden City is to enter the world of Chinese culture, to promote the digitization of the Forbidden City, and to find the "golden key" to make cultural relics come alive and "enrich the history and culture of the whole society".
Bringing cultural relics to life is a dynamic process of gradual evolution. If the Forbidden City is a living body, like a big tree, it has not stopped growing since the moment the seed landed, then we can also feel the joy of growth from the trajectory of making cultural relics come alive.
Since 1999, the Forbidden City has begun to attach importance to the construction of the "Digital Forbidden City" and has achieved fruitful results, so far completing the basic collection of hundreds of thousands of cultural relics in the courtyard collection. In 2016, the Palace Museum and Tencent joined hands to promote the deep integration of traditional culture and digital creativity. In September 2019, as the Forbidden City is about to celebrate its 600th anniversary, the two sides officially announced that they will continue to deepen cooperation in the next three years and help build a digital Forbidden City for the next 600 years through "digitalization + cloudification + AI". At present, the holding of the "Culture + Technology" International Forum and the "'Pattern' to Carry the Road" Tencent Immersive Digital Experience Exhibition of the Forbidden City further demonstrates the in-depth digitization and internationalization of the Forbidden City's culture. From the process of this dynamic evolution, we can feel the pulse of the increasingly "alive" cultural relics with the help of science and technology, which is a process of arching one day and one pawn, and it is also a process of continuous growth of the Forbidden City in the digital world.
The theme of this year's "Culture + Technology" International Forum is "Impact and Enlightenment - A New Leap Forward in Digital Culture Services". The epidemic has limited people's pace, and the impact on the cultural and museum industry is self-evident, which further highlights the importance of the museum's "digital + cloud + AI". In a sense, this is also the meaning of the topic of making cultural relics alive in the new historical period, and while "enriching the history and culture of the whole society", the living cultural relics have also built a cultural bridge for Chinese civilization to go to the world.
The second "Culture + Technology" International Forum and the "'Pattern' to Carry the Road" Forbidden City Tencent Immersive Digital Experience Exhibition was also held in Shenzhen, which is also of great symbolic significance. Tencent, which grew up and "set off" in Shenzhen, joined hands with the Forbidden City to return to Shenzhen with the essence of Chinese and world culture, so that the living cultural relics can awaken the people to touch the temperature of history, and let traditional culture flourish in Shenzhen, the Greater Bay Area and even the world through digital technology.
For Shenzhen citizens, there is also a cultural benefit at the doorstep, that is, "'pattern' to carry the road" The Forbidden City Tencent Immersive Digital Experience Exhibition will be open to the public from December 18, 2021 to February 12, 2022, and the highlights of this exhibition are numerous: the largest naked-eye 3D cultural relics of the Forbidden City were first exhibited in Shenzhen, and the first offline digital restoration of "Tired Qinzhai" ... Such a "cultural feast" is believed to touch the "cultural taste buds" of many people.
Cultural self-confidence is a more basic, deeper and more lasting force in the development of a country and a nation. Culture is vital, blended with the water and milk of science and technology, itself is also part of its joint growth, enduring and new, but also the key to the endless life of Chinese culture.
