CHINA-GANSU-DUNHUANG-MOGAO GROTTOES-OFFICIAL VIRTUAL CARTOON FIGURE (CN)
(220707) -- DUNHUANG, July 7, 2022 (Xinhua) -- This undated photo provided by the Dunhuang Academy shows the prototype of Jiayao, the official virtual cartoon figure of Mogao Grottoes, with a human upper body, wings, and a bird-like lower body, playing the Chinese musical instrument pipa, on the caisson ceiling of cave No. 360 of Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province.
Originated from a half-woman, half-bird creature on millennia-old murals, Jiayao has become the official virtual cartoon figure of Mogao Grottoes, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Dunhuang, northwest China's Gansu Province.
Jiayao appears as a girl wearing traditional robes with feathers sprouted from her back. The animation depicts her experience with the relics and interactions with other characters from the murals.
