Longmen grottoes📖龙门石窟

1. Along both sides of China's Yi River are limestone caves called grottoes, containing many thousands of statues carved over hundreds of years. These are some of China's earliest Buddhist temples, located just south of the ancient capital of Luoyang. 2. Within the 2,345 caves are almost 110,000 statues, ranging from under an inch to 56 feet in height. Hou Yuke's team is working on one of the many statues that have been damaged. And 21st century digital technology is being used to help. Using a digital scanner, they will create a three-dimensional copy. 3. This technique can pinpoint vulnerable areas in need of restoration. And it can even help to fill in missing pieces. Modern digital technology brings to life a unique piece of China's history for future generations to enjoy. Many of the statues would be destroyed, and a portion of the past would be lost. 沿着中国的伊河两岸是被称为石窟的石灰岩山洞，里面有经数百年雕刻的成千上万的雕像。这些是中国最早的一些佛教寺庙，位于古都洛阳的南部。 在2345个洞窟中，有近11万座雕像，高度从不到一英寸至56英尺不等。众多雕像受到损坏，侯玉珂的团队正在对其中一座进行修复。而21世纪的数字技术被用来辅助修复工作。通过应用数字扫描仪，他们将创建一个三维的副本。 这种技术可以准确地指出需要修复的脆弱区域。而且它甚至可以帮助填补缺失的部分。现代数字技术将中国历史上的一个独特的片段复活，供后人欣赏。许多雕像若被损坏，历史过往的一部分将被遗失。
