通过数字图像促进文化
2017年8月9日,兰州。一批来自中国和其他国家的研究人员和科学家正在共同努力,以帮助增进对中国古代文化遗产的了解和欣赏。他们正在记录和收集莫高窟文物的数字图像,莫高窟是贯穿中国古代历史的丝绸之路上的一个重要站点。自1994年这个国际项目启动以来,已经制作了近50万张高质量数码照片。
莫高窟长期以来是不同文化的交汇点,是许多国家历史的一部分。今天,这些洞穴和人们在丝绸之路旅行时一样国际化。世界各地的游客都到敦煌参观这些洞穴,洛杉矶的Getty博物馆甚至复制了一份洞穴和绘画的副本,供美国人民欣赏。
通过在互联网上分享如此多的数码照片,该团队希望能在全世界推广对中国古代历史、文化和传统的更广泛的兴趣。他们也希望进一步教育人们保护历史文化遗产的重要性,让后代理解和欣赏。正如一位从事该项目的研究人员解释的那样:“欣赏自己的文化遗产对于了解自己非常重要,欣赏其他国家的文化遗产对国际交流和了解非常重要。”
