Throughout human history, countless cultural heritages have gradually disappeared due to disasters and the passage of time. As a vital node on the Maritime Silk Road, the Glazed Pagoda of the Great Bao'en Temple in Nanjing once stood among "the Seven Wonders of the Medieval World", symbolizing the fusion of Eastern and Western civilizations. Today, only its ruins remain, recounting its past glories. To address the challenges of heritage inheritance, the Great Bao'en Temple Ruins Museum adopts the concept of 'Digital Heritage', integrates digital technologies with global collaboration, and invites global youth to rekindle human memory through creativity and embark on new practice in cultural heritage conservation.
