In just seconds! A young man recreates the principles of the Dujiangyan Irrigation System through a game, and netizens exclaim: Finally, I understand the wisdom of our ancestors!
Recently, a blogger's video has garnered many likes from netizens. In the video, he recreated the terrain and protective structures of the Dujiangyan irrigation system through a simulation game. Although the video is only three minutes long, it quickly went viral online due to its clear and intuitive explanation and rich detail display.
The level of ancient Chinese water conservancy projects was at a leading position in the world. Starting from the time of Yu the Great's water control, the Chinese people have utilized their wisdom to serve production and daily life with water conservancy projects. Over thousands of years, the Chinese have created many outstanding water conservancy projects, and the Dujiangyan Irrigation System, built by Li Bing and his son around 256 BCE, is undoubtedly the most representative. Despite being constructed over two millennia ago, it still functions today.
Dujiangyan is unlike modern dams and other engineering projects, lacking movable components such as sluices. It is the oldest, only remaining, and grand water conservancy project in the world characterized by non-dam water diversion. Many people, even when visiting the site, fail to understand its working principles.
Blogger "Ant Loves Games," originally named Liu Yong, hails from Zaozhuang, Shandong. To Liu Yong's delight, the video he meticulously crafted garnered significant attention and likes from many netizens. After understanding the principles behind it, many netizens couldn't help but marvel at the wisdom of their ancestors, finally comprehending it. Liu Yong simulated the different structures of the inner and outer rivers of Dujiangyan, demonstrating the changes during the dry season, as well as how the water flows to the Baopingkou during both the wet and dry seasons.
A netizen commented, "Didn't understand in high school, didn't get it during the visit to Dujiangyan, but got it in three minutes by watching a video!" Liu Yong said, "The Dujiangyan Irrigation Project is one of the three ancient water conservancy projects in China. I am currently preparing introductions to the Zhengguo Canal and Lingqu Canal." Next, he will also study the principles of the Three Gorges Dam, the formation of the Sichuan Basin and the Yangtze River, and use animations to more intuitively demonstrate the geographical features of the motherland.
