“辛追夫人”，真容重现！
Lady Xin Zhui, a 2,200-year-old mummified aristocrat from central China, has been recreated in digital form, giving some idea of how she looked at age 35.
On Friday, the Hunan Museum in Changsha, central China's Hunan province, released the image of a "3D digital figure" of Xin Zhui, one of the most famous wet mummies in the world.
The image consists of a seated figure of an amicable-looking woman with coiled hair and delicate makeup, which represents the likely look of the noblewoman at the age of 35. Also made public is an earlier digital recreation of the face at 50, Xin Zhui's approximate age of death.
记者看到，“辛追夫人”3D数字人形象不仅皮肤肌理清晰可见、毛发材质高度逼真，连服饰妆造都是根据出土文物进行一比一还原。此外，修复专家透露，数字人的体态和面容等都是根据辛追生前身体真实情况进行模拟复原。
The digital image was created based on X-ray scans of the skull conducted following the corpse's excavation about five decades ago, coupled with on-site observation and historical records, said Duan Xiaoming, director of the museum.
"Upon excavation, the body of Xin Zhui was intact with soft skin, elastic muscles, eyelashes and visible fingerprints," Duan said. "But her face was so swollen and rotten that we couldn't make out how she would have looked before death."
In 2002, the museum tried to restore her face and created a wax statue, but the restoration work was "not very satisfying due to technological limitations," said Yu Yanjiao, director of the Research & Exhibition Center for Mawangdui Han Dynasty Tombs under the museum.

去年10月，湖南博物院在多年研究基础上启动“辛追夫人”3D数字人项目。为最大限度还原辛追容貌，项目邀请了中国颅面复原专家袁中标为首的国内外一流专家团队参与。
The museum launched the project to digitalize Xin Zhui last October. Leading experts on facial reconstruction were invited to produce a sculpture of her face, which helped a tech firm create a digital model of the 50-year-old lady. AI technology was then employed to create a rejuvenated version at the age of 35.

“辛追是西汉初期人物，病理解剖发现其体内有鞭虫卵、血吸虫卵等，由此推测她也许并非贵族出身，而是地里劳作农民出身，只有经常下水，且有破皮、擦伤或饮用沼泽湖泊生水的人，才会导致血吸虫感染。辛追颅面长相上相对较普通，并非人们传说中的‘贵族美女’。”袁中标说，此外，通过病理解剖发现辛追生前患有多种疾病，如冠心病、多发性胆石症等，所以在复原老年版辛追时还特地在容貌中赋予其一定病容状态。
The elderly version has also taken into account her health conditions, including the facial features of a cardiac patient, said Yuan Zhongbiao, a facial reconstruction expert who participated in the project.
"The discovery of whipworm ova and schistosoma ova from her body suggests that Xin Zhui was probably born into a lowly peasant family and had engaged in rice farming as a teenager," Yuan said.
据了解，项目下一阶段拟推出的“辛追夫人”AI智能体可以进行多轮、长周期记忆对话式互动。上海我赏科技有限公司主要负责“辛追夫人”AI智能体大语言模型及相关数据库的建立等，目前，团队正在紧锣密鼓地进行西汉向量数据库完善、多模态交互体验优化等重要步骤。
The museum said the next step will be to equip the digital replica with AI technology that can engage in multilingual dialogue. This interactive AI is expected to be released in the second half of this year.
