Sun Bird

"The Sun Bird" takes place among the streets and alleys of Chengdu's Jinsha Ruins, Fuqin Night Market, Heming Tea House and Wangjiang Tower. Cultural relics restorer Chen Zhuo triggers changes in the gold foil of the Sun God Bird during a high-precision scan. Yu Li, the daughter of the high priest of ancient Shu, fell from the seal and walked into Chengdu three thousand years later with the secret that the underground singularity is about to awaken. They discovered that the Sun Bird was not just a simple sacrificial weapon from ancient Shu. The light side locked the door and the dark side locked the spirit. Only by combining the two into one could the "shadow of the sun" be suppressed underground. The energy giant Tianshu Group is trying to unblock the singularity and use the security of the entire city as a bargaining chip in exchange for the energy revolution. Chen Zhuo used digital modeling to preserve the last breath of gold foil, and Yu Li regained the thread-through stitching technique in the needlework of the Shu Embroidery Institute. The "nian" from ancient Shu and the "qi" of the streets of Chengdu converged on the night of the winter solstice - forty embroiderers closed their eyes and meditated, using the muscle memory of their fingertips to cover the surface of the seal with an invisible barrier. A sampling failed. But a bigger plan has already taken shape in the secret pocket on Chen Zhuo's chest. The work combines the three dimensions of urban fireworks, ancient Shu civilization and near-future science fiction. More than a dozen Chengdu landmarks weave into the daily texture. Sichuan embroidery threads and digital seals are isomorphic to the ancient Shu coding system of "knowledge encapsulation", while holographic projections, silent drills and virtual gold foil that gather light particles make the edge of the cyber city and the warmth of the tea bowl continue to collide. ——Ancient Shu has never disappeared, it just waited under the streets of Chengdu for one thousand and two thousand years.
