LUNGGEUI LVKA
This program is an ongoing exploration that aims to simulate worlds with alternative forms of civilization to reflect reality, inspire discussions, and propose potential solutions to current social problems. This particular simulation depicts a community in the Lunggeui Lvka mountain area, embodying the Taoist principle of "non-action as action," set against the rich natural and cultural backdrop of Yunnan, a province in China that is home to 26 indigenous groups.

It proposes a new methodology for cultural heritage protection—one that is not confined to museums but is integrated into our everyday lives through the interaction between physical space and imagined worlds. Objects from the daily lives of indigenous people, including utensils, furniture, architecture, clothing, festivals, language, and other cultural symbols, will be scanned into a Unreal Engine and be further merged into films, games, interactive arts and installation arts. These elements will engage with audiences and users, ultimately achieving a connection between online and offline experiences. This approach aims to promote the dissemination, collision, fusion and innovation of diverse cultures while facilitating understanding between different cultural groups.

BACKGROUND STORY
It has been a thousand years since the last soul was traded in Lunggeui lvka, the altar stands since the dawn of time. Before a climate disaster destroys her people, Bimo, the priestess of the Yi indigenous group, sacrifices herself to appease the wrath of nature and initiate a new chapter for humanity.

In this new world, survivors from the big nine tribes formed the society in one mountainous area. They learnt the lesson from past and try to form a balanced relationship with nature.

They carved out mountain edge and formed natural ceiling to prevent from strong sunshine in local area.
They sustain their own culture in tribes distributed along the attitude so that each tribe could have their own environment while retain the convenience to communicate with other culture.
For the harmony between tribes, columns carved out in the shape of Bimo are located in all villages, it is not only part of the whole structure, but also a symbol of common ancestor and power of uniformity.
They preserve the land by living over the ground in stilt houses.

They emphasize on the importance of faiths and borrow ideas from Buddhism and Taoism to develop the belief system.

Altar of Lunggeui Lvka
高黎贡祭坛

An altar was built on the top of the Lunggeui Lvka Mountain to pay homage for the Mother of Lunggeui Lvka. A statue carved by the stone of Lunggeui Lvka Mountain in the form of the Mother of Lunggeui Lvka represented by a fire peacock is in the center of the altar, which is surrounded by the totem poles representing the big eight protector gods.



Terrance Field Town
云梯寨

There are eight tribes living in Lunggeui Lvka region, which is Bai, Hani, Dai, Lisu, Wa, Lahu, Naxi, Jingpo. They have transformed the mountain to terrace field for farming on the top while living underneath, which also improves the concealment during wars.

   
Dai Village
傣家村

The Dai ethnic village, located in the first levels of Terrance Field Town, is renowned for its vibrant culture and stunning natural scenery. The village features traditional wooden stilt houses, lush gardens, and serene water gardens that reflect the Dai people's close relationship with nature. The community celebrates colorful festivals, such as the Water Splashing Festival, which showcases their rich customs and lively dances.


Prayer Flag Tower
经幡塔

The Prayer Flag Tower serves as a communal space for villagers to gather for worship and social events. Found among all eight indigenous groups, these towers vary in design but share a common purpose. The tallest of these towers can reach up to 260 feet. Constructed from ancient tree trunks, they are adorned with colorful prayer flags featuring blessing words and symbols, creating a vibrant and meaningful focal point for the community.



Moon Stone
石月亮

The Moon Stone is a massive cavern located at the summit of Lunggeui Lvka mountain. At the entrance of this cavern stands a Tibetan Buddhist temple, whose origins remain a mystery—no one knows when or by whom it was constructed. Each year on the 15th of August in the lunar calendar, the moon perfectly aligns with the opening of the cavern, creating a breathtaking sight visible from the nearby terrace field village.
