The Master of Dunhuang” was officially presented today.Guardian of Craftsmanship“, the series will be available for streaming on Tencent News and QQ.com starting from 11 October.The second season of “The Master of Dunhuang” is centered on the theme of the “Mesozoic Era”. Using a narrative approach centered on a set of characters and events, the series delves into three key areas: mural restoration, fine art reproduction and cultural promotion. It tells the compelling stories of new-age cultural heritage professionals who seek innovation in the realm of tradition and continually assert their value.
Consisting of six episodes, the second season of “The Master of Dunhuang” will continue to explore the theme of “heritage and development” while introducing a deeper dimension into the contemporary context:
During the conservation and restoration process of Cave 196 of Mogao Caves, mural restorers not only deal with problems such as blank walls and flaking murals, but also encounter unexpected damage caused by small insects. Using advanced equipment and scientific research methods, they can observe the early stages of deterioration of the murals. While preserving traditional restoration techniques, they also usher in a “new technological era” in the field of cultural heritage conservation.
The comprehensive restoration and replication of Cave 172 of the Mogao Grottoes of the prosperous Tang Dynasty is a project that the Institute of Fine Arts of Dunhuang Academy has undertaken in recent years. One of the most challenging aspects is restoring the original colors of the murals, which have darkened over time due to oxidation. Artists have attempted to use scientific instruments to analyze the chemical compositions of pigments, but they found that these tools can only assist and not replace the experience and intuition of human experts.
Tour guides are the people who interact most with tourists every day and serve as seeds to promote Dunhuang culture.
With a large amount of academic information related to Dunhuang, how can an ordinary person accurately convey this knowledge to tourists?
How can they demonstrate the benefits of the “human touch” in transmitting cultural value?
The philosophy of combining timeless heritage with cutting-edge innovation is also in line with Moutai's role as the “Guardian of Craftsmanship”. In the first season, Moutai had taken advantage of cutting-edge digital technology to promote the beauty of Dunhuang culture. In this latest collaboration with “The Master of Dunhuang”, Moutai once again highlights the values of “craft conservation”, reaffirming his commitment to supporting cultural heritage and strengthening cultural trust.
