A Study on Innovative Experience Design for the Museum of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor in the Era of Digital Humanities
This study introduces a novel approach to enhancing museum experiences at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor by integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. It addresses the gap in current intelligent museum models, which often focus on artifact restoration and conservation without adequately capturing visitor needs. The proposed solutions aim to deliver high-quality immersive visits, leveraging AI to innovate cultural heritage dissemination. By applying digital humanities frameworks, the research seeks to create more engaging and personalized experiences for visitors, ensuring that technological advancements align with educational and experiential goals.
Origin and Development of Contortion in the Qin and Han Dynasties: Insights from Pit K9901 of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor
A figurine from Pit K9901 of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor provides new evidence for the origin and development of contortion in ancient China. The study reveals that Western acrobatic traditions influenced Qin-Han contortion techniques, which were later adapted to local cultural contexts through continuous innovation. This challenges existing assumptions about the evolution of Chinese acrobatics and offers fresh insights into early East-West cultural exchange during this period.
Measurement and analysis of facial features of terracotta warriors based on high-precision 3D point clouds
High-precision 3D point cloud modeling and anthropometric analysis reveal that the terracotta warriors from Qin Shihuang's mausoleum were crafted from real portraits, closely resembling contemporary Chinese facial features. This challenges the notion of standardized models, suggesting instead that these life-sized figures represent an actual army intended to protect the emperor in the afterlife. The study employed mathematical statistics, including MDS and cluster analysis, to compare the warriors' facial traits with 29 modern Chinese ethnic groups, demonstrating a strong resemblance that supports the interpretation of individualized craftsmanship.
The use of menthol on the archaeological site at the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor
Research demonstrates that menthol can effectively inhibit the growth of mold and bacteria on the archaeological site of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, preserving its ancient wooden structures. The study employed a controlled application of menthol-based treatments to analyze their efficacy in preventing deterioration caused by microbial activity. This approach offers a promising solution for the long-term conservation of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, which faces significant challenges due to its age and environmental conditions.
