What is ritual? How did child grow to

adulthood in ancients times? How did they get married? What were the feelings

and meanings of the ancient Chinese rituals? Three thousand years ago, the Chinese

sages made rituals and music, leaving behind a valuable treasure for the successors,

so that today Chinese people can still proudly claim that China is a

world-renowned state of ritual and etiquette. How can people truly understand,

inherit, practise and carry forward all the Chinese rituals? A hard and

honorable work has been done by the scholars from Tsinghua University.

This book summarizes the work of scholars

at Tsinghua University on the restoration of the ancient Chinese rituals,

covering the fields of classical studies, history, archaeology, music and

creative media technology. Searching for a research clue from unearthed bamboo

slips and ancient wire-bound books, applying motion-tracking and green screen

shooting techniques, and then 3D modeling, it strives to realize the perfect combination

of modern technology and traditional culture. The scholars at Tsinghua University

have left solid and steady figures from handmade workshops to studio sites,

bridging the gap between classroom teaching and social practice.
