Summary
A viral video created by Liu Yong, a gaming enthusiast from Shandong, uses a simulation game to explain the workings of Dujiangyan, the world’s oldest irrigation system, built in 256 BC. Liu spent two days gathering information and designing the video, which demonstrates how Dujiangyan controls water distribution using its dam-free structure. The 3-minute video has garnered hundreds of thousands of views for its clear, engaging explanation. Liu’s project, now adopted by the Dujiangyan Scenic Area, has inspired him to create similar educational videos about other ancient hydraulic projects like the Zhengguo Canal and Three Gorges Dam.
