In
response
to
the
contemporary
proposition
of
scientific
and
technological
innovation-driven
development,
Hunan
Museum
relies
on
technology
to
empower
cultural
heritage
research.
With
the
continuous
advancement
of
research
on
cultural
relics
unearthed
from
the
Mawangdui
Han
Tombs,
and
with
the
technical
support
of
modern
high-definition
equipment,
breakthrough
progress
has
been
made
in
its
research.One
such
breakthrough
involves
Chengyun
Embroidery
(“Cloud-Riding
Embroidery”),
long
misidentified
as
a
“pillow
towel.”
Comparative
analysis
of
excavation
data
and
historical
records
confirmed
it
as
China’s
earliest
known
yinxi
(silk
cushion),
reshaping
academic
and
public
understanding.Another
discovery
emerged
through
high-resolution
scans
of
the
Mawangdui
T-shaped
Painting
on
Silk.
Researchers
identified
repainting
traces
in
figures
like
Dihun
(heavenly
gate
guardians)
and
the
Divine
Leopard,
offering
new
insights
into
Han
Dynasty
artistic
techniques.The
third
finding
is
the
identification
of
a
double-phoenix
motif
in
the
Chengyun
Embroidery—a
significant
addition
to
Mawangdui
embroidery
studies—highlighting
the
aesthetic
values
and
craftsmanship
of
Han
textile
art.
Hunan Museum also unveiled outcomes from two digital heritage initiatives: Exploring Yuan Plan 2024 and Digital Han Lifestyle. The former used AI to recreate a Western Han straight-cut, printed, color-painted silk-padded robe, showcasing exquisite detail, historical depth, and dynamic beauty—granting the garment a digital rebirth.Meanwhile, Digital Han Lifestyle offers an immersive exploration of Han clothing, cuisine, dwellings, transportation, and spiritual aesthetics. Visitors can wear Han robes, enjoy traditional banquets, and experience classical music, engaging with Chinese heritage across dimensions.
By unveiling these achievements, Hunan Museum not only affirms its leading role in digital heritage innovation but also opens new windows for the public to engage with Han civilization—fostering the creative transformation and dynamic transmission of Chinese traditional culture in the digital age.
