Heavenly Curtain, Light Paints the Sui and Tang:Kinetic Lifting Veil at Luoyi Ancient City and Programmable Space-Time Narrative
As 3,000 intangible cultural heritage palace lanterns light up beneath Wenfeng Pagoda,
and a giant translucent veil descends from the sky,
rhythmically unfolding amid verses from Ode to the Luo River Goddess and flying fairies scattering flowers —
Luoyi Ancient City, the iconic cultural landmark known as the “Central Plains Ferry,”
has undergone a luminous transformation in the spring of 2026.
The Kinetic Lifting Veil, meticulously engineered by Fengyi Stage, makes its grand debut.
With programmable precision and poetic motion,
it adds a brand-new visual chapter to the night tour experience:
Dreams of the Sui and Tang, All in Luoyi.
Yet the value of the Kinetic Lifting Veil extends far beyond illuminating an ancient city.
It is a universal visual language tool with unlimited narrative potential —
an aerial canvas for stadium concerts,
an atmospheric screen for high-end bars,
and a time-shifting device for immersive theaters.
This article explores how this programmable veil of light
composes a visual epic across a thousand years,
from design philosophy, technical core, and scene performance at Luoyi Ancient City to cross-domain applications.
I. Design Origin: Why a Lifting Veil?
Luoyi Ancient City is defined by grey bricks, dark tiles, red gates, and palace lanterns —
an aesthetic of elegant subtlety, not grand majesty.
A laser array like the one at Ying Tian Men was unsuitable;
a softer, more ethereal expression was needed.
Fengyi’s design philosophy:
Veil as Paper, Light as Ink.
At its core, the Kinetic Lifting Veil is an 8m-high, 12m-wide translucent special curtain.
Rather than being static,
it is driven by high-precision servo motors and closed-loop encoders,
achieving millimeter‑accurate lifting motion at speeds up to 0.6 m/s —
capable of both grand descent and gentle, breezy movement.
When light passes through, it creates a misty Tyndall effect,
intertwining with the ancient stone silhouette of Wenfeng Pagoda,
blending reality and illusion like a crack in time.
The veil was chosen for its dual nature:
it can display projection as a dynamic canvas,
yet remain transparent enough to reveal the architecture behind it.
This translucency makes it the perfect medium between history and the present,
reality and fantasy.
The lifting system introduces the dimension of time —
every rise, fall, and pause becomes precisely scripted visual grammar.
II. Technical Core: The Programmable Canvas of Light
The professional soul of the Kinetic Lifting Veil
lies in its deeply integrated control system and pixel‑level programmability.
1. Hardware Layer: High-Precision, High-Reliability Engineering
Each Kinetic Lifting Veil uses a modular design
with industrial-grade servo drives and dual-redundant braking systems
for safe, stable hovering at any position.
The motor runs with ultra-low noise, supported by damping, soft-start, and silent guiding structures,
making it ideal for quiet environments such as TV studios and concert halls.
The veil itself is made of high-transmittance composite material with a special coating,
balancing excellent projection performance and see-through clarity.
Precision-cut edges ensure smooth, wrinkle-free, stable movement.
2. Control Layer: DMX + Art-Net Dual-Protocol Architecture
The system integrates with mainstream consoles such as grandMA3,
connecting lifting and projection via the Art-Net protocol.
Lifting position, speed, acceleration, and hold triggers
are precisely controlled via DMX512,
achieving millisecond synchronization with lighting, video, and audio.
The Kinetic Lifting Veil can be programmed like any moving light,
seamlessly fitting into any professional show control system.
3. Software Layer: Parametric Engine & Content Synchronization
Fengyi’s core advantage:
the veil is not merely a moving curtain —
it is a movable projection canvas.
Using media servers such as Madrix, Resolume, or Watchout with pixel mapping,
veil motion and projection content are tightly synchronized.
Designers can preload “motion + content” program packages for different scenes and emotions:
- In poetry mode, the veil descends as characters are drawn in light.
- In time-travel mode, the veil rises rapidly while projections shift from Tang palaces to modern Luoyang.
This deep hardware-software integration
distinguishes the Kinetic Lifting Veil from traditional stage curtains.
III. Scene Performance at Luoyi Ancient City:
Four Custom Programs Illuminate Dreams of the Sui and Tang
During the Peony Fantasy Tour event,
the Kinetic Lifting Veil delivered distinct visual expressions across different times and themes.
Program 1: Daytime · Static Welcome
The veil hovers at 4m, projecting peonies, auspicious clouds, and classic poems.
It acts as an elegant photo backdrop without blocking Wenfeng Pagoda,
blending softly with natural daylight.
Program 2: Dusk · Heavenly Curtain Descends
As night falls, the veil descends gently at 0.3 m/s for about 30 seconds,
like an unfolding scroll.
Verses from Ode to the Luo River Goddess appear through high-precision mapping,
perfectly synchronized with the “Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers” performance.
Fairies dance amid swirling petals and flowing light,
creating a dreamlike celestial realm.
Every movement, character, and dancer’s motion
is locked via timecode for perfect synchronization.
Program 3: Night · Gate of Illusion
At the festival climax, the veil executes the Gate of Illusion macro:
- Rises quickly to 8m with three variable-speed pauses
- 2m: Tang Dynasty palace projection
- 4m: Song Dynasty street scene
- 6m: Modern Luoyang
Each pause lasts 5 seconds, creating a dramatic time-travel effect.
At 8m, the projection shifts to a bright galaxy, merging with the night sky.
Program 4: Late Night · Silent Return
After 22:00, the veil rises slowly at 0.1 m/s to its home position,
with projection turned off.
This low-impact mode respects cultural relics and maintains a peaceful night environment.
IV. Cross-Domain Applications: From Luoyi Ancient City to Global Stages
The Kinetic Lifting Veil is a truly cross-scenario system.
1. Large-Scale Concerts
As a dynamic aerial canvas,
it syncs with music via timecode.
Slow movements accompany ballads;
rapid lifts intensify choruses.
Multiple layered veils create immersive 3D visual depth.
2. High-End Bars & Nightclubs
In vertical rhythm mode,
it reacts to DJ BPM and audio spectrum.
Slow waves for Deep House, sharp pulses for Techno.
At lounge time, it drifts gently with starry or water projections.
3. Professional Theaters & Immersive Theater
As a time-shifting prop:
- Flashbacks: slow, irregular descent
- Tension: layered, synchronized downward movement
- Transcendence: gentle upward fade
- Time travel: rapid lifts with scene shifts
Its translucency creates silhouette effects and dreamlike transitions.
4. Brand Events & Commercial Spaces
As a dynamic brand wall:
- Daily mode: static logo display
- Launch mode: rising reveal with product video
- Festival mode: themed motion and content
Fengyi’s global experience across 90 countries
ensures professional design, installation, and support.
V. Professional Value: Setting a New Standard for Dynamic Curtains
The Kinetic Lifting Veil defines three new benchmarks:
-
Technology serves artistic conceptionIt enhances emotion and narrative, rather than showcasing technical skill.
-
Programmability unlocks infinite possibilitiesOne hardware system, unlimited visual expressions.Clients purchase not just a curtain, but programmable spatial emotion.
-

Conclusion: Veil of Light, Infinite Narrative
As the last glow fades into night, the Kinetic Lifting Veil returns quietly.
In Luoyi Ancient City, it delivered far more than a light show —
it completed a profound exploration of how light dialogues with history.
From Luoyang to the world,
this veil will continue to rise and fall,
rhythm and narrative unfolding with every movement.
The most powerful visual is not just light you see —
but movement, breath, and power you feel.
The revolution of light is gathering strength
in every lift, every fall, every beat.

FAQ
Products
The lamp does not light up. What should I check?
Troubleshoot in 4 steps:
1. Power Supply: Confirm the input voltage matches AC 200V~240V/50~60Hz; check if the power cable is securely connected and the switch is on.
2. Cooling Period: Ensure the fixture has cooled for 20 minutes after previous use (mandatory cooling to prevent overheat damage).
3. DMX Signal: If in DMX mode, verify the controller is sending "Shutter On" (CH6: 252-255) and "Dimming" (CH7: 100-255) signals.
4. Internal Wiring: If above checks pass, contact after-sales to inspect internal connections (e.g., lamp holder, driver board) for loose or burned components.
What is the XY-axis rotation angle of moving head lights? Are there any load-bearing requirements for installation?
For conventional moving head lights, the X-axis rotation ranges from 0° to 540°, and the Y-axis rotation ranges from 0° to 205° (some models support 16-bit fine adjustment). Installation requirements: For hoisting, the load-bearing capacity of the support frame must be ≥ 1.5 times the weight of the light (e.g., a 10kg moving head light requires a support frame with ≥ 15kg load-bearing capacity). Additionally, a safety rope must be used to pass through the light's handle. When installing at an angle or upside down, pedestrians are prohibited from passing below, and the hook screws and rope wear must be checked regularly.
Wholesale Cooperation
What is the restocking cycle for wholesale customers? Can production be prioritized?
The restocking cycle for standard models is 3-7 days (same-day shipment if stock is sufficient), and the restocking cycle for customized models is the same as the initial customization cycle (15-45 days). For annual cooperative customers (with an annual purchase amount of ≥ 500,000 RMB), a "priority restocking agreement" can be signed, and 10%-15% of safety stock will be reserved to ensure emergency restocking needs are met within 3 days.
Customization/OEM Services
Do customized products enjoy the same warranty service as standard products?
Yes, customized products have the same warranty policy as standard products (under non-human damage, the whole machine is warranted for 1 year, and LED lamp beads are warranted for 2 years). For faults caused by customized functions (e.g., adaptation issues of the special light control protocol specified by the customer), the after-sales team will give priority to targeted troubleshooting to ensure no impact on use.
