'Chang An' makes Yellow Crane Tower a hot spot | 黄鹤楼现身《长安三万里》

　　On the Chinese film review website Douban, "Chang An" garnered an 8.2 out of 10 rating, which is unusually high for a Chinese animated movie. This much-anticipated movie brings back to life some of the most iconic poets from the Tang dynasty (618-907). Wuhan's iconic Yellow Crane Tower appeared in the film three times.

　　动画电影《长安三万里》7月8日正式公映，截至昨日，累计票房6.81亿。电影中曾三次出现黄鹤楼。

　　Li Bai, the poet in the film also has a "copycat" in Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower Park! Every day, thousands of tourists come to have a "dialogue" with him across time and space, while learning more about the history of the tower.

　　热映电影《长安三万里》中的诗人李白在武汉黄鹤楼公园也有“同款”了！每天有上千名游客在这里与李白跨时空“对话”、深入了解黄鹤楼历史。

　　Li Bai (Chinese: 李白; pinyin: Lǐ Bái, 701–762), courtesy name Taibai (Chinese: 太白), was a Chinese poet, acclaimed from his own time to the present as a brilliant and romantic figure who took traditional poetic forms to new heights. He and his friend Du Fu (712–770) were two of the most prominent figures in the flourishing of Chinese poetry under the Tang dynasty, which is often called the "Golden Age of Chinese Poetry".

　　李白（701年2月28日—762年12月），字太白，号青莲居士，唐朝伟大的浪漫主义诗人。为人爽朗大方，乐于交友，爱好饮酒作诗，名列“酒中八仙”。曾经得到唐玄宗李隆基赏识，担任翰林学士，赐金放还，游历全国。

　　Currently, the first-floor exhibition hall of the tower's Art Museum (Baiyun Pavilion) is holding a "One Tower and One City" interactive experience exhibition, which will last through October 31.

　　日前，黄鹤楼美术馆（白云阁）一楼展厅正在举办“一座楼与一座城”黄鹤楼1800年互动体验展，该体验展将持续到10月31日。

　　"What would you do in 2023?" When Liang Shankai, a child from Lanzhou, Gansu province, came to the exhibition area, he couldn't wait to "talk" with Li Bai. He will be a first grader in September and has memorized several poems by Li Bai. In the process of his dialogue with "Li Bai," the young man learned that Li Bai, like him, loves to eat bayberry and chicken, which made him very happy. Liang said: "If Li Bai came to 2023, I would really want to make friends with him!"

　　“如果来到2023年，你会做什么？”……来自甘肃兰州的梁善楷小朋友，一来到互动体验展区，就迫不及待地跟李白“对话”。9月份就要上一年级的他，已经会背好几首李白的诗，在与“李白”对话的过程中，得知李白和他一样，爱吃杨梅和鸡肉，他开心极了。他说：“李白如果来到2023年，我真想和他做朋友！”

　　There were also college students who came to discuss poetry skills with Li Bai. Zhang Bowen, a sophomore from Heilongjiang province, said he learned a lot from the "conversation."

　　现场还有大学生与李白探讨作诗技巧。来自黑龙江的准大二学生张博文表示一番“对话”下来，自己很有收获。

　　According to reports, the "Li Bai" that "talks" with tourists is an AI program trained after selecting a large amount of literature attributed to Li Bai. The exhibition also projected the long painting of "The Yangtze River," using special animation effects and light and shadow technology. The result is that the dialogues, with figures of tourists and Li Bai, all appear in the picture.

　　据介绍，与游客“对话”的“李白”，是选用李白相关的大量文献训练后的人工智能程序，在与游客对话的过程中，它也在不断地提升。现场还通过动画特效与光影技术投影长卷《长江万里图》，让游客与李白的对话、身影都出现在画面中。

　　In the exhibition area, the 15-meter-long Yellow Crane Tower scroll vividly shows the historical evolution of the tower over 1,800 years. Additionally, there are cultural relics and other exhibits. People can not only appreciate the long history of the Jingchu culture but also purchase related cultural and creative products and bring them home.

　　在展区，15米长的黄鹤楼1800年历史长卷浓缩着黄鹤楼1800年沿革，是一部鲜活的“黄鹤楼史”，还有文物实物等展品；人们不仅能欣赏到历史悠久的荆楚文化，还能将有关的文创品带回家。
