On April 18th—the International Day for Monuments and Sites, China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual (虚拟的) cartoon figure Jiayao together introduced an interactive digital platform (数字化互动平台) that hosts a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave to the world.

The platform was developed jointly by the Dunhuang Academy and the Chinese tech firm Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.

The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics dating from the 4th century to the 11th century unearthed. It was one of the most important archaeological discoveries in the 20th century.

On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat mini program.

In the digital age, the model of “culture+technology” has been adopted to promote (促进) the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate of China’s precious cultural relics has been more than 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report released by iResearch.

The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation (转型) of cultural intellectual property by digital means. CCTV (China Central Television) has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer Youyou. It was created based on the image of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals. The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.

Digital collections cater to (迎合) the consumption habits of young people. They not only protect the intellectual property of the collections but also bring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”, noted Dunhuang Art Institute.

Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to explore new forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public more immersive cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture.

Butterflies are common all over the world but the ones in hot countries are usually bigger and more brightly colored than those in cooler countries, and there are more different kinds. Usually the male butterfly is more brightly colored than the female. The females have bigger and heavier bodies, since they carry the eggs. The gay colors of the male help to attract the female and the duller colors of the female make them less likely to be caught by enemies before they have laid their eggs.

Some butterflies have a bright pattern of colors on the upper surface of their wings which show when they fly, but when they rest on a tree or leaf, they close their wings. On the undersides of their wings there are green and brown markings which look like the tree or leaves. They are then difficult to see. The best example of this is the Dead Leaf Butterfly (枯叶蝶). Even its wings are closed, it looks exactly like a dead leaf. There are even marks that look like the holes in a dead leaf. When a bird is chasing a butterfly, and it closes its wings, it seems to have disappeared completely.

Many butterflies have round marks on their wings that look like eyes. When they are resting, and their wings are folded, these can’t be seen. When a bird sees one, and begins to attack it, the butterfly opens its wings. The bird thinks that it sees two eyes staring at it, and frightened, it flies away.
