🌕 The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most beloved traditions on the Chinese mainland. Celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month—this year landing on Monday, October 6—it’s when families gather under the fullest moon to celebrate reunion and peace.
Tradition Meets Technology 🎑🤖
China Media Group (CMG) lit up the historic city of Deyang in Sichuan Province on the Chinese mainland with its annual Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. Recorded amid the fertile Chengdu Plain, the show wove together the ancient heritage of the Shu Kingdom and cutting-edge tech for viewers around the globe.
Deyang isn’t just an industrial hub—it’s a gateway to the 3,000-year-old Sanxingdui archaeological site. Discovered in the 20th century, Sanxingdui revolutionized our view of early Chinese civilization. At the gala, an AI robot guided viewers through these relics, making centuries-old treasures feel alive in real time.
With immersive visual effects, outdoor filming and micro-documentary snippets, the gala felt like a cinematic journey through history. From dramatic reenactments of the Shu Kingdom to sleek virtual interactions, it was a true fusion of the past and the future.
For young explorers and global dreamers, the CMG gala was more than a show—it was a digital family reunion under the full moon, highlighting how tradition and innovation can come together to inspire unity and wonder. 🎥✨
