Both in the East and the West, there has been a long-standing tradition of correlating celestial phenomena with human activities or destinies since ancient times. Astrology has even been a standard for determining fate. In ancient China, the study of constellations, known as the theory of lunar mansions, also served as an important predictive tool.
To observe the movements of the sun, moon, and stars, the ancient Chinese divided the vast sky into 28 constellations, known as the Twenty-Eight Mansions.
In the second episode of the documentary series "Ancient China from Above, Series II," co-produced by Wild Blue Media in the UK, titled "SECRETS OF THE FIRST EMPEROR’S TOMB,"，As the host, archaeologist Sam Willis took "Historical Records" as a clue and went to the Qin Shihuang Mausoleum Site, Xi'an, Xunyang, Hunan Liye and other places to verify Sima Qian's details about the crossbow mechanism, mercury rivers, and astronomical wonders in the tomb. The records reveal to the audience the never-before-seen ancient China and the cultural heritage it left to the world，He meticulously explained and filmed the ancient tomb murals located within Xi'an Jiaotong University, revealing to everyone the magical drawings that have existed for a thousand years.
The ancient tomb unearthed in 1987 at Xi'an Jiaotong University showcases the earliest and most completely preserved Twenty-Eight Mansions murals in China to date, a sight that leaves viewers in awe.
Recently, the museum of Xi'an University has utilized Virtual Reality (VR) technology to fully restore the panoramic interior scenes of the tomb, perfectly presenting the original colors, patterns, and vivid content as discovered. If one could experience it immersively, it would be quite extraordinary.
Of course, for those of you who cannot travel to Xi'an, we have prepared a VR panoramic view. Click here to watch:sinomate fro 3Dvr
