Quoc Tu Giam Brings History Into Technology With 3D Mapping Film 'History in Stone'

On the evening of November 28, in the ancient space of the special national relic of Van Mieu - Quoc Tu Giam, the 3D mapping film "History in Stone" was officially released, bringing an emotional and culturally profound experience. This is a new program after the night tour program "The Quintessence of Dao Hoc", opening up a new perspective on the eternal values ​​of heritage.

"Stone History" is not only a product that continues the success of the film "The Quintessence of Philosophy" but also a testament to the continuous creativity of the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities of the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam. Dr. Le Xuan Kieu, Director of the Center, shared that the film was built with the desire to arouse inspiration from the values ​​hidden in the Doctor's steles, closely linked to the nation's spirit of learning. With vivid storytelling and modern technology, the Center hopes that the film will touch the hearts of visitors, especially the young, and inspire pride and love for heritage.

The film tells the story of a little turtle, a familiar symbol of the Temple of Literature, on a journey to find the mysteries behind the gray stone. Each Doctorate stele that he discovers is not simply an inanimate object, but is actually a page of history recording the imperial examinations and brilliant achievements of outstanding people. The journey is not without challenges. From facing a storm that blows away the precious book given by the teacher, to the surprise when a rough rock appears, the little turtle has to learn to overcome all obstacles to understand the true value of knowledge.

During the journey, a flock of woodpeckers suddenly appeared, using magical rhythms to transform the rough rock into a complete Doctorate stele. The scene ended with the image of the turtle and his friends excitedly tossing the stele into the sky, as a tribute to the knowledge and thousand-year-old academic tradition of the Vietnamese people. The story not only recounts history but also inspires the spirit of perseverance and the desire to reach new heights.

"History of Stone" illuminates the historical and cultural value of the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, and at the same time makes the quiet stone steles come alive through the language of modern art. The magical lighting effects and images breathe life into every detail, making the ancient space of the relic more mysterious and attractive. The film brings a feeling of both intimacy and sacredness, leading each visitor on a fascinating journey of knowledge discovery.

The film screening is part of a series of night tour experiences at the Temple of Literature - Quoc Tu Giam, which will be implemented from the end of 2023. In addition to the film, visitors will also have the opportunity to participate in other activities such as listening to explanations about the Doctor's steles and exploring the shimmering space of the relic under magical lights. After a year of organization, the night tour has attracted great attention from the public, becoming a bridge to bring heritage closer to modern life.

"History of Stone" is not only a film, but also a journey to recreate the nation's eternal spirit of learning. With the skillful combination of technology and art, the film has created a bridge connecting the past and the present, leaving a deep impression in the hearts of every visitor. Heritage is no longer a distant memory, but has come back to life vividly, becoming a torch to inspire the younger generation to continue to preserve and promote the traditional cultural values ​​of the country.
