Your journey begins with a maiden's lantern and a fisherman guiding your path. Through a bamboo forest aglow with dancing fireflies, you meet Qu Yuan.
Qu Yuan appears before your eyes: conversing with the librarian, courting Nvxu, celebrating the Shangsi Festival with villagers, and questioning the heavens. Warhorses neigh and gallop across the opposite mountain, while the moon rises from the water. You've just sipped Lei Cha or ground tea at Nvxu's home, watched a blind dating drama, and savored a fragrant herb banquet described in the Chu Ci (Verses of Chu) at a live-action theater.
Are you merely an audience member here to watch a show? No, you live alongside Qu Yuan in Taojing over 2,000 years ago—sharing his sorrows and joys, as well as his meals and drinks. You fall in love with this noble and fascinating soul who cherished fine cuisine and elegant attire, and who used the "beauty" and the "fragrant herbs" to symbolize good government and people of moral integrity.
All the scenarios above come from the immersive Chu-style cultural tourism performance "Bamboo Sea Illusion," spanning an impressive 20,000 square meters. Featuring an outdoor scenic space, a large indoor theater with a winding stream landscaping, a live-action bamboo banquet theater, and several indoor mini-theaters, the show holds the China Records title for "The Mountain Theater with the Largest Digital Media Matrix."
Incredibly, all it takes is one or two people to create and maintain this entire dreamlike, immersive experience.
The power of technology goes beyond your imagination.
Supported by one-touch intelligent control technology, a total of 182 projectors within the theater can operate with seamless precision. Through multiple patented innovations, including water-moon computer numerical control (CNC) devices, naked-eye holographic imaging, digital revolving stages, a stage matrix with hidden water features, and movable CNC dining tables, the production represents an innovative fusion of digital control and artistic presentation.
Technology has not only significantly reduced labor costs of the scenic area, but also vastly expanded the performance space. The sky, the bamboo forest, and the surrounding landscapes are ingeniously integrated into the stage design.
Thus, in this 360-degree immersive bamboo forest wonderland, we encounter the ancient sage Qu Yuan, transcending time and space. As a monumental figure in the history and a representative of the origin of Huxiang culture, Qu Yuan comes vividly to life before us, evoking a profound resonance.
This is the significance of the fusion of culture and technology!
