[00:00:00] .
[00:02:14] , and the cultural relics of the great Chinese emperors are like stars
[00:02:18] in alignment
[00:02:19] .
[00:02:23] The history of ministers awaits awakening ,
[00:02:27] and modern measurement technology is subtly integrated . It has created a complete
[00:02:31] support system for archaeological
[00:02:34] work
[00:02:37] .
[00:02:40] It breaks the limitations of traditional exploration methods and protection measures
[00:02:44] . It uses satellite rods, laser radar and other
[00:02:48] technologies to explore the earth .
[00:02:51] 。
[00:02:53] Through the construction of three-dimensional models of stone scenes , a permanent digital
[00:02:57] archive has been established. This not only promotes
[00:03:01] archaeology from traditional manual operations to digitalization and
[00:03:05] intelligence, but also provides scientific and precise
[00:03:09] system technical support for building the Chinese
[00:03:12] civilization standard system , becoming a national treasure
[00:03:16] for guarding and inheriting history
[00:03:30] . In November, Jiangnan Fanqiu and his team were walking through a bamboo forest
[00:03:34] .
[00:04:04] The two main ancient cities have been identified , dating back approximately 5,000 to 4,000
[00:04:08] years ago, belonging to the late Neolithic period cultural sites
[00:04:11] , concentrated in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and Taihu Lake basin
[00:04:15] . They are examples of early urban civilization
[00:04:19] and a key period in the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization
[00:04:23] . To further identify the evidence chain
[00:04:27] of the origin of civilization , at present
[00:06:19] , as early as 2009 , Yao Gan technology began to participate
[00:06:23] in the archaeological excavation of the two ancient cities and their surrounding areas
[00:06:26] . Archaeologists compared satellite images from different
[00:06:30] historical periods to trace the natural evolution of ancient
[00:06:34] sites on the ground , locate existing
[00:06:37] points of interest , and then verify them through field
[00:06:41] archaeological drilling to finally
[00:07:48] .
[00:07:53] This cannot be natural because natural things don't look like this.
[00:07:57] This is also consistent with the characteristics of water.
[00:08:02] With the "heavenly eye" provided by Huawei, the efficiency of the corner-to-corner has undergone earth-shattering changes.
[00:08:42] Well, let me mark this first . It's that on the west side
[00:08:46] of our ... there's a broken half
[00:08:50] . In the past , when we stood on the ground
[00:08:54] , uh, stood on high ground, your field of vision was very small. We
[00:08:58] have basically collected all these early satellite images of the entire
[00:09:01] Zhejiang Province, and even the Yangtze River Delta . You can find a lot
[00:09:05] of things. So you view this instrument as a city
[00:09:09] , a metropolis .
[00:10:18] Today, we are mainly focusing on the area around the venue, including the wall
[00:10:22] . Pay attention to the gate .
[00:11:29] The Beijing central axis first appeared in the 13th century, extending
[00:11:32] from the Bell and Drum Tower in the north to Yongding Gate in the south, with a total length of
[00:11:36] 7.8 kilometers . It is the central symbol
[00:11:39] of ancient Beijing . The unique magnificent order
[00:11:42] of Beijing originated from this
[00:11:46] . To comprehensively display such an ancient building complex
[00:11:50] that is deeply intertwined with modern cities, and to allow people to see it clearly
[00:11:54] and in detail , the three-dimensional
[00:11:57] modeling of stone scenes has become an indispensable technical means
[00:12:00] .
[00:12:04] The three-dimensional axis of the stone well actually preserves
[00:12:07] the central axis in a three-dimensional
[00:12:11] form. So, on the one hand, it
[00:12:15] provides us with a precise spatial data base
[00:12:19] for the protection and monitoring of the entire central axis. On the other hand, it also leaves
[00:12:22] a valuable data asset for our future generations. We have established
[00:12:26] a central axis cultural heritage protection and monitoring platform based on this technology. This platform
[00:12:30] is a fixed indicator of the central axis's deep
[00:12:34] meaning.
[00:12:37] In September 2020 , the Beijing Institute of Surveying and Mapping organized a
[00:12:40] technical team of more than 200 people to conduct on-site surveying
[00:12:44] and mapping of the Temple of Heaven and other central axis cultural heritage sites
[00:12:48] . This was the first large-scale surveying and mapping work
[00:12:52] ever conducted on the central axis cultural heritage sites
[00:12:56] . The central axis is located in the core area of the capital, and its airspace
[00:12:59] is strictly restricted . Therefore, we cannot
[00:13:03] use conventional low-altitude oblique photography and other methods
[00:13:07] . So we adopted a full ground scanning method
[00:13:10] .
[00:13:11] 。
[00:13:20] In different situations, we will use different 3D scanners. This
[00:13:24] is.
[00:13:55] This is our mobile backpack 3D scanner
[00:13:58] . It can be carried on the back of our survey personnel
[00:14:02] and move with the person for mobile scanning
[00:14:05] . The advantage of this is that it is relatively flexible
[00:14:09] and the scanning speed is very fast
[00:14:11] .
[00:14:17] We also have a handheld device, which is very
[00:14:21] compact and lightweight . For example, we
[00:14:58] are basically recreating a physical world's Temple of Heaven on the computer
[00:15:00] .
[00:15:06] For the protection of the main building, our precise measurements can
[00:15:09] detect every tiny displacement
[00:15:13] and see some very small
[00:15:16] damages. So , by comparing
[00:15:20] two periods of data, we can find the damaged parts
[00:15:24] of the cultural relic. So, this is also a very important role of our
[00:15:28] surveying and mapping technology in cultural relic protection and restoration. Our
[00:15:32] work received unanimous praise from international experts
[00:15:35] during the review. It can be said that it directly supported
[00:15:39] the successful bid of the central axis .
[00:15:43] In 2024, the Beijing Central Axis, the rhythm of China's ideal
[00:15:47] city system, was successfully listed in the World Heritage List
[00:15:50] . The 12-year journey of profound significance was brought
[00:15:54] to a successful conclusion with the support of surveying and mapping technology. This
[00:15:58] treasure of Chinese culture has gained worldwide recognition and
[00:16:01] attention. After the successful application, the three-dimensional
[00:16:05] technology of the stone well continues to be used
[00:17:07] . New technology helps preserve the ancient charm and promotes the systematic protection of cultural
[00:17:11] heritage, inheriting cultural traditions and extending them across mountains
[00:17:15] and seas, ensuring their lasting
[00:17:17] existence
[00:17:24] . Shanxi, one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation, has a recorded
[00:17:28] history of more than 3,000 years
[00:17:31] . Ancient relics from various historical periods are scattered
[00:17:35] throughout the mountains
[00:17:38] . To survey and maintain these ancient buildings
[00:17:42] located on steep cliffs , traditional scanning
[00:17:46] methods can hardly achieve comprehensive data acquisition
[00:17:49] . Drone aerial scanning has become the best
[00:17:53] method under new technological
[00:18:01] conditions. This should be evenly distributed in the car area, several of them. It's best
[00:18:04] to be in an open space , not easy
[00:18:10] . I started in 2005 doing ground-based geological
[00:18:13] measurements. Then in 2006 , I switched to manned aerial
[00:18:17] photography. It wasn't until 2018 that I switched to
[00:18:21] drones. There's a saying, "For historical artifacts on the ground, look to Shanxi
[00:18:25] ."
[00:20:12] 30 meters. You need to get the angle right
[00:20:15] .
[00:20:23] With drone scanning technology , ancient buildings on cliffs
[00:20:27] can be displayed in 360 degrees without blind spots
[00:20:30] . Many ancient
[00:20:34] sword artifacts scattered throughout Shanxi Province , with the assistance of surveying and mapping technology
[00:20:38] , are no longer hidden in deep mountains and unknown
[00:20:42] . Shanxi's cultural relics have a special feature: there are many cultural relics,
[00:20:46] especially ancient architectural cultural relics, but they are scattered in many areas.
[00:21:22] It's hard to find a control point here . Let's find
[00:21:25] a control point
[00:21:26] .
[00:21:35] As of November 2025 , the Shanxi Provincial Surveying and Mapping
[00:21:38] and Geographic Information Institute has completed the production of fine 3D models
[00:21:42] for all prefecture-level city built-up areas in the province. Among them,
[00:21:46] 370 national and provincial-level cultural relic protection units
[00:21:50] are included
[00:21:50] . For Shanxi Province, with 53,875 immovable cultural relics
[00:21:58] everything is just beginning
[00:22:01] . There are many cultural relics in the mountains, and many of them have not been discovered
[00:22:12] . We will survey those undiscovered places
[00:22:16] .
[00:22:22] We surveyors have a saying, "Measure the earth with your feet
[00:22:26] ." So, we walk where others haven't
[00:22:49] . Every Monday, Huang Xianfeng and his colleagues
[00:22:53] come to the studio early
[00:22:55] .
[00:22:57] Massive amounts of digital data of ancient buildings are gathered here, awaiting
[00:23:01] further processing
[00:23:02] .
[00:23:06] Huang Xianfeng's team is currently working on the three-dimensional modeling
[00:23:10] project of the ancient building complex of Wudang Mountain in Hubei
[00:23:13] .
[00:23:16] As a World Cultural Heritage site, the Wudang Mountain ancient building area
[00:23:50] . Now the entire data processing has reached 90%, 98%
[00:23:54] has been completed .
[00:23:57] We .
[00:24:00] First, we take photos , more comprehensive photos
[00:24:04] of the object we need to model . Then the second step is to locate
[00:24:08] the photos to the position where they were taken. Each
[00:24:11] point is a photo. In this project , I have more than 28,000
[00:24:15] photos .
[00:24:19] Then there are
[00:24:22] 1.24 million points connected
[00:24:26] . The third step is our core key technology, which is to automatically generate models from these photos and their positions through master processing. This means that through the photos I just showed, you can see that the
[00:24:44] clarity is very high, like the cracks inside
[00:25:54] . In the second year after 2007, the technology I studied was the combination of laser scanning technology
[00:26:02] . So it was at that time that I started to get in touch with this speed
[00:26:06] .
[00:26:08] No matter what kind of cultural relic it is, it is a combination of substances. No matter whether it's
[00:26:12] paint or solid material , it will definitely degrade. Ultimately, no
[00:26:16] matter how you protect it, it can only slow down, not guarantee that it
[00:26:20] will exist forever. So I hope to record it through digital means. We use digital
[00:26:24] technology to make cultural relics immortal in the digital space
[00:26:26] . In 2009
[00:26:30] , after two years of arduous exploration
[00:26:32] , Huang Xianfeng and the Dunhuang Research Institute's Cultural Relics Digitalization
[00:26:36] Research Institute gradually improved projection measurement and model construction
[00:26:40] , and finally overcame the technical difficulties of high-quality mapping of cultural relics
[00:26:44] , achieving ultra-high-quality 3D reconstruction of the Dunhuang Grottoes. The breakthrough
[00:26:48] in this technology also provides important technical means
[00:26:52] for the digitalization of immovable cultural relics and the digital protection of museum
[00:26:56] collections nationwide
[00:26:57] .
[00:28:34] My dream is actually that I hope our technology can truly
[00:28:38] be used by every cultural relic unit
[00:28:41] , so that our cultural relics can quickly enter the digital
[00:28:45] space , and people can use it. To make
[00:28:48] usable technology, to create new technology for the world
[00:28:52] and for experts . Not to repeat other people's technology
[00:28:56] . Technology is indeed updating very fast
[00:28:59] . In the future , I think it will
[00:29:32] automatically start 360-degree scanning and automatic
[00:29:36] recording .
[00:29:39] Our scientific and technological archaeology in China has developed very well
[00:29:43] . We can try to solve our own problems
[00:29:46] , and can we also export and solve
[00:29:50] world problems? I think I am quite confident that we can try
[00:29:54] it
[00:29:55] .
[00:30:06] Surveying and mapping technology protects the memory of Chinese civilization, breaking through
[00:30:10] the barriers of time, allowing buried cultural relics to see the light of day
[00:30:13] , making ancient buildings last forever
[00:30:17] , and injecting scientific and technological power into cultural relic protection
[00:30:20] . Today, surveying and mapping geographic
[00:30:24] information technology is using precise coordinates and intelligent
[00:30:28] data to bring cultural heritage spanning thousands of years to life
[00:30:32] . In the future, technology will transcend regional and temporal limitations
[00:30:36] , promoting the archaeological and cultural undertakings
[00:30:40] in China's great process of modernization to a broader world
[00:30:43] .
[00:30:46] The rebirth of ancient artifacts is not only the restoration of buildings, but also the continuation of civilizational
[00:30:50] memory. It is not only a victory of technology, but also the inheritance
[00:30:53] of wisdom
[00:30:54] .
[00:31:03] The more you measure, the more you serve , the further you go
[00:31:06] .
[00:31:09] The beginning of fate , begins
[00:31:12] with the soft fullness of childhood .
[00:31:16] Gazing at the parents' eyes by the crib
[00:31:19] ,
[00:31:22] the fate of childhood, chasing the moonlight scattered by the window
[00:31:26] ,
[00:31:28] is the sweet touch
[00:31:31] between the lips
[00:31:35] . The fate of growth is the school bell
[00:31:39] ringing
[00:31:41] in the classroom
[00:32:20] . That ring. It's the distant full moon seen together from the new home's window
[00:32:24] .
[00:32:27] In life's many aspects , complete peace of mind
[00:32:30] .
[00:32:36] Celebrate reunion with joy
[00:32:39] .
