Protecting Dunhuang: Saving China’s Ancient Cave Art 🏯✨
Hey there! Have you ever heard of Dunhuang? It’s a special place in China with amazing ancient caves full of beautiful paintings and sculptures. These treasures are thousands of years old! 😲
Recently, during a big event called the “Inter-Civilization Exchanges and Mutual Learning: Cultural Inheritance and Innovation” forum, a very important person named Su Bomin, who is the Director of the Dunhuang Academy, talked about how they are working hard to protect these ancient treasures. 🛡️
So, how do they protect the caves and the art inside them? Let’s find out! 🕵️♀️
Using Technology to Save History 💻📸
The team at Dunhuang is using cool technology like 3D scanning and digital photography to create detailed images of the cave art. This way, even if something happens to the real caves, we’ll still have digital copies to study and enjoy! 🌐
Controlling the Environment 🌡️💨
They also make sure the caves have the right temperature and humidity. Too hot or too cold can damage the paintings. They even control how many visitors can enter at one time to keep the caves safe. 🚶♀️🚶♂️
