Xinhua News Agency, Lanzhou, June 15 (Reporter Zhang Yujie) With the support of digital technology, the Dunhuang Tibetan Sutra and about 60,000 cultural relics unearthed will "reproduce" people.

In 1900, the Dunhuang Tibetan Sutra was shocked. In the cave less than 7 square meters, about 60,000 cultural relics were unearthed from the 4th century to the 11th century. The Dunhuang studies, known as the "international learning", are important research materials written in the Buddhist scriptures and social documents written in Chinese, Tibetan, Tubo and other words.

The laboratory will use digital twin technology as a means to restore the Dunhuang Tibetan Scripture Cave with a ratio of 1: 1. At the same time, let the literatures that have lost overseas or enter the museum "reappear" in the cave. The No. 001 literature "Return and Junjun Wine" collected by the Dunhuang Research Institute will be the first to "reproduce".

"We hope to combine the Tibetan Scripture Document with the historical stories, so that users can enter the cultural scene and interact with historical figures." Li Hang, Executive Dean of Tencent New Literature and Innovation Research Institute.

According to reports, the two sides are still creating the official virtual image of the Mogao Grottoes "Jiayao". The virtual person of this Dunhuang mural image "Jialing Frequency Gay" can interact with people and dance Dunhuang dance. In addition, the two sides will carry out talent training in the field of cultural relics.

The combination of academic advantages and technological advantages can better launch creative works that meet the needs of social and cultural needs." The Dean of the Dunhuang Research Institute Su Bomin said.

Yu Tianxiu, director of the Digital Digital Research Institute of Dunhuang Research Institute, said that digital technology can break the limit of time and space and let people understand Dunhuang.
