General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out during his inspection of the Academy of Fine Arts at Tsinghua University that art, science, and technology complement each other, promote each other, and complement each other. This profoundly elucidates the common logic of collaborative innovation between art and science in the process of building human civilization.

Guan Shanyue once said, "If I don't move, I won't paint. If I don't feel the stimulation of the earth, I won't paint." The word "move" runs through Guan Shanyue's artistic journey, and his footprints cover the southwest, northwest, Southeast Asia, Europe, and America of our country. His landscape painting sketches seek change and innovation in motion, ultimately becoming classics. This exhibition uses digital humanities research methods to explore the dialectical relationship between the perspective transformation, "painting path innovation", and the forms of mountains and rivers, emotions, and temporal and spatial changes in Guan Shanyue's journey of sketching. It presents and deeply analyzes the important significance of sketching behavior in the construction of Guan Shanyue's artistic style in digital form.

The launch of Wuhan University's Luojia-1 satellite in 2018 provided people with another dimension of viewing - an aerial perspective. In 2019, the exhibition "The Light Boat Has Passed Mount Wanzhong - Guanshan Yue and the Modern Scenery of the Yangtze River Gorge" for the first time combined the use of sketching data and geographic information systems (GIS) to present Mr. Guanshan Yue's 1978 Three Gorges sketching route. From then on, our museum collaborated with the Aerospace Information Department team at Wuhan University to systematically collect sketching data from Guan Shanyue's creative career. These data include the time period, time point, location, route direction, and related painting patterns, styles, and brushwork techniques of sketching. On this basis, this exhibition aims to re-examine Guan Shanyue's sketching journey from an aerial perspective and explore the path of the generation of her work style and style. The exhibition visualizes information, applies remote sensing images, digital AI and other technologies to construct and restore real-life scenes, presents more comprehensive geographic data and geomorphic features, traces back to the source, and explores the inherent connection and dialectical relationship between Guanshan Yue sketching activities and natural landscapes. Simultaneously providing intelligent interactive services, expecting viewers to gain diverse experiences and cognition from the presentation of visual space; To provide more intuitive visual materials for relevant researchers, helping them further explore the relationship between Guan Shanyue's artistic creation and the generation of landscape painting styles in the second half of the 20th century, and to explore the potential value and significance of Guan Shanyue's artistic activities.
