See Sanxingdui again

Deep exploration of Sanxingdui

In 1986, Sanxingdui woke up and shocked the world; After 34 years, Sanxingdui restarted archaeological excavation. Why is there only half of the golden mask? Where did the dense Ivory come from? What is the origin of the “strange” bronze ware? The six newly discovered sacrificial pits bring people the same surprise of “opening the blind box”. The archaeological documentary “see Sanxingdui again” will completely present the whole process of excavation and research of the six sacrificial pits in Sanxingdui, and focus on the highlights, mysteries and difficulties in the excavation process. Taking the progressive development of excavation as the clue, it will objectively show the new mode of in-depth cooperation in field archaeology, experimental Archaeology and scientific and technological archaeology by using new technical means such as shuttle, flying cat camera and fishing rod rocker arm, combined with three-dimensional animation.

“See Sanxingdui again” not only focuses on the on-site excavation, but also focuses on the archaeologists behind the excavation. With vivid stories and real details, it shows the spiritual style and humanistic demeanor of the ancients in the new era.

Progressive China

Engineering aesthetics feast

It coincides with may day, and the documentary “progressive China” will show the style of Chinese builders. Each episode of the documentary focuses on the construction process of a major project, covering transportation, construction, energy and other fields, focuses on the high and new technology behind the super project, and tells the construction miracle built by the builders with sweat and wisdom.

“Progressive China” will lead the audience to experience the face, wisdom and speed of China under the infrastructure project of CUHK. For example, Baihetan Hydropower Station has a maximum dam height of 289 meters, ranking third in the world; The total water thrust of the reservoir dam is 16.5 million tons, the second in the world; The seismic parameters rank first in the world among the 300 meter super high arch dams. Baihetan dam is the first dam in the world to be poured with low heat cement concrete in the whole dam section. In the process of concrete pouring, the intelligent construction platform plays a key role in “temperature control”, making the ideal of “seamless” dam finally come into reality. For example, as the first 5g Universiade, Chengdu Universiade will present the power of Chengdu’s scientific and technological innovation to the world under the guidance of the concept of “smart Universiade”. Many competition venues have injected a lot of “black technology” while ensuring “appearance”. The audience will see the details of these large-scale projects in China.

Planet

Epic solar system story

The astronomy popular science documentary planet focuses on the past and present lives of the eight planets in the solar system. The film continues the BBC’s consistent excellent production. With ultra-high definition pictures, grand and shocking special effects scenes and magnificent soundtrack, the audio-visual effect of the whole documentary is no less than that of a top science fiction blockbuster.

Brian Cox, a professor of high energy physics at the University of Manchester, UK, was invited to be the narrator of the book. With the host’s narration, the camera will take you back to 4.5 billion years ago. Let’s “land” on the surface of the planet, so that we can no longer look at the universe from a distance, but be immersive. Professor Brian is the most famous “Internet celebrity scholar” in Britain. In addition to his status as a physicist, he was also a keyboard player in a rock band and was known as “rock star physicist”.

“Everest”

Panoramic display of the world’s first peak

The world’s highest peak, Mount Everest, is in the thin air zone above the snow line. Glaciologists and climatologists are studying the evolution of the earth’s climate over the past few thousand years and the causes of global warming. Below the snow line is the holy land for ecologists to explore the mysteries of nature. Birds sing, apes sing, animals shuttle, and deep valleys are warm and humid. It is a subtropical scenery. “Everest” tells the story of the latest research and discoveries made by Chinese glaciologists, climatologists and ecologists in the Everest region, and how the latest elevation data of 8848.86 meters of Everest was born.

The whole documentary took two years before and after, and the crew’s journey to the plateau reached tens of thousands of kilometers. They went deep into Jilong ditch, Zhangmu ditch, Rongxia ditch, Yigong River Valley, Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon and other places in the hinterland of the Himalayas. And has climbed to the Everest sea seven times
