On the 6th, the Shanxi delegation, the representatives hotly discussed topics include the inheritance of civilization and the development of cultural and tourism, as well as artificial intelligence, AI and the metaverse.

"Black Myth: Wukong" has led Shanxi's cultural and tourism to become popular. Representatives have sighed: When the trend comes, you must be able to handle it and take it well.

"In the next few years, science and technology and culture will be two important trends. Shanxi has a profound history and culture, and science and technology have great potential to empower culture." Representative Zhao Haiying, member of the Finance and Economics Committee of the 14th National People's Congress, believes that behind "Black Myth: Wukong" and "Nezha 2" are the support and support of artificial intelligence and algorithms, and we must strive to promote the integration of scientific and technological innovation and cultural industries.

Representative Zhang Qiang, Secretary of the Datong Municipal Party Committee, said that the integrated development of "digital + cultural tourism" can provide new scenes for the new display of traditional culture and is an effective way to stimulate the vitality of excellent traditional culture.

Shanxi is known as the "ground museum" and ranks first in the country in the total number of key cultural relics protection units. How to use the wings of technology to make cultural heritage "break the circle" and rebirth? The representatives have a lot of thoughts and insights.

"Cultural heritage is not a static cultural relic. It is necessary to deepen the application of digital technologies such as AI and the metaverse to allow the millennium civilization to integrate into the cultural heritage of contemporary life with dynamic narratives." Representative Hang Kan, director of Yungang Research Institute, proposed.

He showed a video where the 3D wireframe model of Cave 20 of Yungang Grottoes rotated on the screen, and the texture data error of each sandstone did not exceed 0.1 mm. "Innovations such as 3D printing, XR, H5, etc. have broken through the physical limitations of cultural relics display and provided a new path for the dissemination and promotion of cultural heritage." The government work report on the 5th proposed to promote the systematic protection of cultural heritage and improve the protection and utilization of cultural relics and intangible cultural heritage and the level of archaeological research.

"You can't guard the rich and civilized mine and go hungry." Representative Wang Jingang, Party Branch Secretary and Village Committee Director of Gucheng Town, Xiangfen County, Shanxi Province, was deeply inspired. "Xiangfen is a major historical and cultural county, and Guancun also has several ancient houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties. After the Two Sessions, we must further explore the rural historical and cultural culture, guard the roots and spread the branches and leaves."

In the in-depth discussion at the Two Sessions venue, the road to revitalization of cultural heritage has been riding on the east wind of science and technology, and the new picture of high-quality development of Shanxi's cultural and tourism economy has been slowly put into writing.

"'Who says that the ancient and modern times are different, and different generations can be tuned in the same way', history and the future will eventually meet." In the warm resonance, Hang Kan wrote a line of comments in his notebook.
