Over 20% of the paintings are cracking (裂开) or losing colours because of weather and visitors. Some grottoes are now closed. But don't worry! High­tech tools are used to save these cultural treasures. Small flying robots with cameras are used for searching for tiny cracks. AI studies old painting methods in order to know the colours of faded (褪色的) areas. Robots use super­thin glue (胶水) to repair the cracks carefully—like fixing a butterfly's wing. Broken caves are rebuilt by using 3D printers. But technology isn't just for experts! A company called Sense Time used AR and AI to bring old paintings to life. You can “walk” inside the paintings on your mobile phone. They also made digital copies for other famous works in China, like paintings drawn by Xu Beihong. However, these are not enough.
