Bridging Millennia: The Digital Revival of Su Shi’s Legacy at the China Millennium Monument

The exhibition unfolds across eight thematic sections: “Prologue: Bright Moon,” “Family Traditions,” “Life Journey,” “Poetry,” “Gastronomy,” “Night Stroll,” “Fearless,” and “Interactive & Cultural Creations.” Each segment employs advanced multimedia installations to bring Su Shi’s world to life. For instance, the “Life Journey” section utilizes a 360-degree immersive multimedia space to depict Su Shi’s experiences from youth to old age, highlighting his resilience and philosophical outlook .CSSN

The “Gastronomy” area recreates a bustling Song Dynasty tavern, where visitors can “order” digital representations of dishes like Dongpo Pork and Dongpo Fish using RFID technology, experiencing the culinary delights that Su Shi once celebrated .

To achieve the exhibition’s immersive effects, Hirender media servers play a crucial role. In the main immersive area, three Hirender servers manage 31 projectors covering the floor, walls, and columns. Additional independent zones utilize Hirender servers to control 13 projectors, crafting a narrative-rich light and shadow environment that embodies the philosophical concept of “unity of man and nature, simplicity through complexity.” This setup invites visitors on a cross-temporal spiritual journey, offering a moment of reconciliation with inner turmoil.

Beyond visual immersion, the exhibition offers interactive experiences. In the “Night Stroll” section, visitors can knock on a recreated door of Chengtian Temple, echoing Su Shi’s nocturnal visit to his friend Zhang Huai-min, and receive varied responses, enhancing the sense of temporal dialogue .

The “Fearless” area features a multimedia bamboo forest and a giant cloak installation, allowing visitors to feel as though they are walking through a misty rain, embodying Su Shi’s famous line, “A cloak in the misty rain, I live my life as I please.”

“如见丨一蓑烟雨·苏轼” stands as a testament to the harmonious integration of cultural heritage and digital innovation. Through Hirender’s advanced media servers and creative exhibition design, visitors are offered a multi-sensory exploration of Su Shi’s enduring legacy, bridging the gap between ancient wisdom and contemporary experience.
