You need to read the sentence following, which explains that those who hold other ID should go with their original ID through the manual lane. No need mentioned for a barcode or anything else.

使用其他证件购票的旅客,凭购票时所使用的乘车人有效身份证件原件,通过人工通道办理验证、进 出站手续。

The barcode comes up in a later provision which says those who've undergone real-name validation on the app can pass through the automatic gates using a QR code generated by the app.


在12306.cn网站注册用户且通过铁路12306手机APP完成人脸身份核验,可凭铁路12306手机 APP生成的动态二维码,通过自动检票闸机办理进、出站检票手续。

No need for showing ID, just the phone? Does this apply to foreigners, too? Time will tell.

As for anything else, you can get an information slip showing your train details, but the announcement clearly says you can't present that for travel.
