Jiankou work starts to go deeper into layers of history

During the restoration, numerous professional teams specializing in Great Wall conservation will be involved, adhering to the principle of minimal intervention, according to the authorities in charge of the restoration. Traditional techniques and materials will be used for emergency reinforcement to preserve the current state of the cultural relics and maintain the historical appearance of the Jiankou Great Wall for the public, according to the authorities.

Additionally, comprehensive digital recording will be carried out throughout the new restoration project. Digital information and 3D modeling have been conducted before the project started and during the archaeological process, and will continue during restorative construction and after completion, according to technology provider Tencent.

This will create a complete digital record of the restoration process and establish a chronological digital scenario, according to Tencent.

Deng Chao, director of the artifact and historical site department of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, says related parties should implement guidelines for cultural relic work in the new era and accurately follow the direction of the Great Wall protection work.

Deng calls for strengthening the management of cultural and tourism projects involving the Great Wall, building a comprehensive value presentation system for the Great Wall, and further improving policies and measures for social participation in the protection of the Great Wall.
