Question

Lots of Chinese cultural and art treasures have been put on show in many parts of the world this past year, showcasing the beauty of the Chinese civilization on the global stage and promote cultural exchanges.

Last December, New Zealand's national museum in Wellington started a four-month exhibition(展览)of the Terracotta Army. Early on the opening day, local people lined up to see some life-size clay models of Chinese soldiers, horses and chariots that were meant to guard the tomb of Emperor Qinshihuang about 2,000 years ago. More than 160 pieces of ancient Chinese antiques were also on show, providing visitors with a view of the long-standing beauty of Asian civilization.

It was a "once in a lifetime" experience, said Rebecca Rice, the exhibitions curator. At the opening ceremony（仪式）New Zealand Tourism Minister Kelvin Davis said “the exhibition will encourage（鼓励）more New Zealanders to go on the journey to understand China, one of our most important partners .”

What's more, some museums have explored new ways and techniques to add more fun to visitors experience of enjoying Chinese cultural relics. On Jan 30, ahead of the Chinese Spring Festival, a creative Chinese cultural exhibition was held at the Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris offering people an experience with Chinese New Year customs and rituals. Through a China-developed Wechat( 微信)app on a smart phone, visitors could design clothes using beautiful patterns of ancient paintings from the Mogao Grottoes and wear their self-designed clothes to celebrate the traditional Chinese festival.

Digital technologies (数字技术)have also created new ways to exhibit treasures from China. In early 2019, China’s tech giant Tencent( i and Prances union of national museums(RMN) reached an agreement to enhance cultural exchanges, traditional cultural inheritance and innovation.

Under the cooperative framework, the two sides organized a number of exhibitions to present the Chinese treasures collected by French museums in digital forms online.

Patrick Dambron, chairman of France-china Art and Culture Academy (AFCAC), said Internet technologies have enabled cultural heritage to regain its vitality, and encouraged younger generations to inject vigor into modern and traditional arts and culture.
