From January 26, CCTV-9 premiered Elves of the Plateau: The Black-Necked Cranes, Tibet's first 4K ecological, natural and humanistic documentary. The third episode, Crane Dance over Yarlung Zangbo River, showcases local herders, wildlife conservationists, and artists dedicated to protecting these birds. Among the highlights is the “Freehand Chinese Painting” synchronous classroom, a collaborative effort between Associate Professor Cheng Nan of Nanjing University of the Arts and Associate Professor Liu Yang of Tibet University.During the 2024 spring-summer semester, faculty and students from both universities bridged geographical divides through five online synchronous sessions, delving into traditional Chinese painting techniques. While Nanjing students captured the elegance of red-crowned cranes, the Tibetan counterparts portrayed the black-necked cranes, culminating in a stunning “virtual gallery”. Beyond technical skill-sharing, the course served as a platform for cultural dialogue, advancing art education resource sharing and integrating ecological conservation principles—echoing the documentary's theme of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. Through different approaches, both the documentary and the synchronous classroomaim to reignite our collective reverence for the natural world. Where technology transcends physical barriers to education, art immortalizes nature's splendor.
