Imagine chatting with a digital Confucius about modern life or learning calligraphy from an AI-powered Tang Dynasty poet! 🖌️ CGTN's new #AskChina initiative is using virtual companions to make Chinese culture pop for global audiences like never before.
🔮 Through AI-generated content, users can now:
- Role-play historical scenarios with animated characters
- Get real-time explanations of cultural practices
- Explore interactive storylines blending ancient wisdom with tech
🇨🇳 Experts like Renmin University's Wang Yiwei highlight how this "gamifies learning" while preserving authenticity. Beihang University's Sarina adds that AI companions act as "24/7 cultural ambassadors" breaking language barriers.
🎮 The project comes as China's digital creative industry grows 15% annually, with Gen Z driving demand for immersive experiences. Next up? Rumor has it we might see AI recreations of classic literature characters hitting VR platforms soon! 🕶️
