Two years of research to "resurrect" the Nanzuo site with light and shadow
Can cultural heritage be "immortalized"? In response to such a question, Wang Yuou, head of the digital cultural restoration project team of the Silk Road Information Port Company, replied categorically: "It must be possible!" Under the revitalization of digital technology, the cultural relics collected in museums, the heritage displayed on the vast land, and the words written in ancient books can all be resurrected through digital restoration technology.
On April 9, the "Digital Cultural Relics" column was announced and launched, which immediately attracted many archaeological fans and history lovers. Everyone is curious, what is the charm of cultural heritage after the upgrade of digital restoration technology, and what kind of cultural treasures can Chinese children see through short videos of more than a minute thousands of years later?
The world's first loess plateau with fertile soil, ancient ancestors who cut wood, tall wooden buildings, sacrificial ceremonies by the fire, pottery people who can move and talk, and fine wine from thousands of years ago...... The first video is based on the theme of Nanzuo ruins, and is presented in four short films: "Crossing Nanzuo", "Nanzuo Fine Wine", "Nanzuo Palace" and "Nanzuo Sacrifice", reproducing the prosperity of Nanzuo in Gansu 5,000 years ago with frames of light and shadow. Through the video, netizens seem to have been brought into the big plateau thousands of years ago, with birds flying overhead, clansmen working behind them, and the pottery people that have just been pinched are lifelike, and the ruins of Nanzuo are "resurrected".
According to archaeological research, Nanzuo is a super-large Tuyi site in the late Yangshao culture, and it is one of the important sites in the process of exploring the origin of the early state and the formation of Chinese civilization. Gansu is also one of the earliest areas in mainland China to carry out field archaeological work, and occupies an important position in the history of the development of archaeology in modern China. As a native of Gansu, in the past two years, Wang Yuou has contributed his life's learning to this hot land. In order to "resurrect" the Nanzuo site, Wang Yuou and his team stayed in Qingyang, Gansu Province for three months, day and night, researching with professional archaeologists and restoring history with technology.
Digital technology means to restore the life scene of Nanza
However, archaeology is only the first step in the "resurrection" of cultural heritage, and how it is presented is the key.
The technical support has made Lanzhou's international communication go further
Frame by frame, the digital restoration of the image unveils the dusty cultural heritage. How to better tell this history, and in what form, made it difficult for the technical team.
"Let China's cultural treasures go international, and let the thousand-year-old civilization bloom on overseas platforms!" Lei Zhen, editor-in-chief of Lanzhou Evening News, said in an interview on April 9 that the original intention of planning and producing the "Digital Cultural Relics" column is to broaden the content direction of Lanzhou's international communication and upgrade the field of innovative technology.
"Our team of 12 people, through preliminary research, mid-term modeling and post-visualization rendering, on the basis of doing a good job in literature research and field investigation, to maximize the 1:1 restoration of the original appearance of the site, to achieve intelligent one-click generation of models. Relying on high-precision Beidou satellite remote sensing positioning, UAV oblique shadow point cloud acquisition technology, technical personnel can obtain accurate information such as geographical location, latitude and longitude, altitude and other sites, generate point cloud models, combine on-site information with literature research data, transform them into data-based and digital information, and through the combinator containing a variety of parameters, the collected digital and data-based information is carried out with high precision. High-quality parametric dynamic and accurate modeling, from the external beams and columns of the building to the internal bucket arches, vividly restores the form and texture of cultural sites, and renders them in a later visual way, so that the parameterized ancient building components can form a linkage with the historical scene, so as to complete the panoramic presentation of cultural heritage restoration.
It is precisely this meticulous technical blessing that makes the "Digital Cultural Relics" column attract attention from all parties as soon as it is announced and released. Next, this column will allow more readers to experience the Yangshao culture on Dong Zhiyuan 5,000 years ago in the virtual digital world through cutting-edge technologies such as full-life cycle information integration and artificial intelligence, and reproduce the customs and customs of Songshan Xinbian Bunker 400 years ago......
