Lessons from Liaofan, Reimagined with AI — Digital Storytelling for Jiashan's Cultural Heritage

Centered on Lessons from Liaofan, an important part of Jiashan's cultural identity, this project draws on Yuan Liaofan's life, the text's enduring ideas, and the region's history. AI animation, digital characters, reconstructed historical settings, and cinematic storytelling turn a classical work into an accessible visual narrative.

Technology becomes a means of cultural transmission, offering a contemporary interpretation of the work's teachings on shaping one's destiny, correcting one's faults, cultivating good deeds, and practicing humility. Created for government presentations, cultural outreach, tourism promotion, and city-brand showcases, the film brings Jiashan's Liaofan heritage to broader and younger audiences.
