1 . In recent years, to attract the public’s interest, many museums choose to develop themselves in creative and entertaining ways. For example, Luoyang Museum officially announced that Wang Yibo would be its promotion ambassador (推广大使) on the Internet.
What do you think of these ways?
| Wang Yihui, 17 I think using stars can help make the public accept cultural relics(遗产) easier, especially young people who follow their idols. Additionally, some TV products have become popular in recent years. These allow us to grow our knowledge of history. This way, the true value of cultural relics can be better understood by the public. |
| Chen Yao, 17 In my opinion, spreading museum culture through the Internet is not proper because the Internet is full of misinformation opinions. For example, some mistakes in the TV series Empresses in the Palace (《甄嬛传》) were widely spread to the public and negatively influenced the younger generation’s impression of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). |
| Li Jian, 17 New technology has become a creative way to connect traditional culture and the public. For example, Nation’s Greatest Treasures (《国家宝藏》), a popular cultural exploration TV show, leads us to create interest in museums and their collections. Once we’re lost in the story behind each cultural relic, we will surely feel more connected to the multicultural world. |
| Xing Yilin, 17 From my point of view, it’s not suitable to connect serious historical relics with entertainment. What matters most in history is reality. When history loses its meaning due to simple understanding, it loses its educational value as well. Showing historical truth is a must, no matter how cruel or serious it might be. Only in this way studying history will have an effect. |
| A．Wang Yibo. | B．Chen Yao. | C．Wang Yihui. | D．Xing Yilin. |
| A．Misunderstand the history. | B．Loses its educational value. |
| C．Be active in learning history. | D．Create interest in museums. |
| A．Young people don’t care about the cultural relics. |
| B．TV shows make us be more interested in museums and collections. |
| C．We can connect to the multicultural world through the cultural story. |
| D．Using the new technology is the only creative way to spread culture. |
| A．Find out its educational value. | B．Understand the history simply. |
| C．Idols can spread history widely. | D．History must be real all the time. |
| A．Some of the teenage boys were sixteen last year. |
| B．Museums want people to be interested in history. |
| C．Luoyang Museum used the stars many years ago. |
| D．Someone knows the traditional culture through TV. |
Fan Jinshi: Daughter of Dunhuang
The Mogao Grottoes are a very special place in China, which stand in Dunhuang, Gansu province. The Mogao Grottoes are thousands of years old and were listed as a world cultural heritage (遗产) by UNESCO in 1987.
Many people, including archaeologists (考古学家) and researchers, work hard to take care of the Mogao Grottoes and learn more about them. Fan Jinshi is one of them.
Fan was born in Beijing on July 9, 1938. Her father was a graduate of Tsinghua University and had a strong interest in Chinese classical art and culture.
Influenced by her father, Fan liked visiting museums when she was in middle school. With the great love of Chinese culture, she studied in the archaeology department in Peking University and graduated in 1963. Then she started working at Dunhuang and has worked there ever since. She spends almost 60 years taking care of Dunhuang. People call her the “Daughter of Dunhuang.”
On May 4, 2023, “Daughter of Dunhuang” Fan Jinshi returned to Peking University and brought back 10 million RMB donations to set up the Fan Jinshi Education Fund (基金) to support the research of Dunhuang Studies at Peking University.
“Money made should be spent in the right way. People cannot only think of themselves,” she said. “Hopefully the setting of the Fund can help Dunhuang studies at the university, so it can raise cultural confidence and strength.”

5 . What is your first impression of bamboo in China? Is it only a kind of plant on the food list of pandas? No! It also represents single bamboo drifting（独竹漂）, an intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化遗产）passed from generation to generation among the people in Guizhou Province.
Single bamboo drifting has been performed for more than 2,000 years. In the past, the ancestors who lived on the bank of the Chishui River used it as a method to go across the river. Now, with the development of modern transportation, this skill has been regarded as a sport or a unique way of performance by local people.
Middle school students of the province practice the sport and compete in the Chinese National Games. The requirements of the sport are simple, yet demanding! Athletes have to balance on a bamboo pole, barely as wide as one’s foot, and guide it down the river with a thin stick. But there’s more than just guiding. While keeping balance on the narrow bamboo pole with the thin stick, the athletes are performing skills and tricks. Jumping, push-ups, and splits（劈叉）are some of the most common ones, whereas those who are more experienced often use their imagination to try out more difficult moves.
Yang Liu, a 25-year-old “water fairy” from Zunyi, Guizhou, dancing on the river in traditional Chinese costume, is an inheritor（继承人）of single bamboo drifting. For over ten years, combining drifting with dancing, Yang has put fresh energy into this traditional art. It’s not easy to stand, let alone dance on a single bamboo. So not surprisingly, Yang has experienced countless falls and failures. Thanks to her efforts, though, single bamboo drifting has gotten great fame on the Internet and become well-known in the world.
1. What did we mainly use single bamboo drifting for in ancient times?| A．A kind of sport. | B．A way of dance. |
| C．A form of traditional art. | D．A type of transportation. |
| A．严苛的 | B．繁琐的 | C．宽松的 | D．自在的 |
| A．To try out difficult moves. | B．To guide and balance. |
| C．To perform different tricks. | D．To practice and compete. |
| A．She was a fairy with magical power. | B．She kept practicing for over 10 years. |
| C．She was good at the skill from the start. | D．She didn’t like the traditional art. |
| A．The spread of sports spirits. | B．The development of tourism. |
| C．The popularity of Chinese festivals. | D．The continuous efforts of generations. |
6 . Known as the birthplace (发源地) of kites, Weifang in Shandong Province has a long history of making kites.
It’s said that Weifang kite-making can date back to 2,000 years ago. At first, they were often used by the army for communication purpose. During the Ming Dynasty (明朝), kites started to be popular among common people for fun. The International Kite Festival was set up in 1984 and is held every year in Weifang.
Yang Hongwei is an inheritor (传承人) of the Weifang kite-making. Yang was born in a kite-making family in 1966. She often saw kites with bright colors and different shapes in her grandfather’s workshop. “Every time I see these beautiful kites, I no longer feel bored or unhappy,” said Yang.
Yang began learning kite-making skills from her grandfather at the age of 16. After practicing for 10 years, she started her own shop in 1992.
“Many places around the world have a tradition of flying kites,” Yang said. “But I think the cultural background of our kites is unique.” On Yang’s kites, people can see not only common pictures like butterflies, but also some prints telling Chinese history.
In her spare time, she also travels to different countries including Germany, Australia, the US and New Zealand to tell people about Chinese stories seen on kites and the traditional ways of making kites.
“I’m an inheritor of the culture. It is also an important job for me to spread the culture around the world and pass it on.” she said.

8 . Jin Ruirui was among the first group of college students in her village in Chuxiong, Yunnan province. But instead of working in big cities, she chose to come back to her hometown to set up her own Yi embroidery（彝绣）company. “My mother raised me with the money she made as an embroiderer. I want to carry on her skills and help more embroiderers who are just like my mother—they might not get much education, but they know well about our local culture,” said Jin.
Jin went on field trips to many local villages and found that there were many left-behind children with their parents working far away in big cities. “Think about how good it will be if embroidery can bring them enough money so that they can work at home and stay together with their children,”Jin said, remembering how she started her career.
With the support from the local government and the hard work of people like Jin, Yi embroidery has become a booming industry. They train embroiderers and hire designers to make the embroidery pieces more fashionable. They hold fashion shows promoting（促进）Yi costumes in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai and do business with other provinces and even foreign countries.
During the past 10 years, more than 60,000 Yi women in Chuxiong have taken part in the local Yi embroidery industry. Their average monthly income grew from about 500 yuan to around 3,000 yuan. “Now, even some men have started to work as embroiderers, taking up about 4 percent of the workforce staff, ”Jin added. “We have made our lives better with our traditional culture and skills.”

9 . Born in the 14th century, Naxi ancient music is one of the world’s oldest music types. The Naxi ethnic group (纳西族) living in Yunnan created it with their own instruments. But today, few people can hear it or even know of it.
“One of my classmates is from the Naxi ethnic group,” Liu Yunong said. “When she talked about this endangered music, I thought maybe we could do something.” The 15-year-old from Tianjin TEDA NO 1 Middle School is a music lover and guzheng player. Together with other classmates, she set up a project to promote (推广) Naxi music among young people.
“How to attract young people in a fun way is the most difficult job,” said Liu. “So we thought of the idea of using comic strips to introduce Naxi music.”
In the comics that they created, the leading role is a girl named Su Xiaodu. Her name comes from sugudu, a musical instrument of Naxi culture. After a boy named Liu Nana visited a Naxi cultural museum, Su came into his life, and the story began.
“Many of our classmates loved this form of storytelling, and it successfully attracted 300 people to attend our online activity during the winter holiday, where we introduced some basic of Naxi music,” Liu said. “We also planned to invite a famous Naxi musician, Xuan Ke, to give us a talk, but sadly, Mr. Xu passed away at 93 in early January. His death made us realize the importance of protecting traditional music,” Liu added.
After the online activity, some young people recorded videos of themselves playing Naxi music pieces, such as Shan Po Yang (《山坡羊》), in piano or guzheng. “When we received the videos, we felt everything was worth it,” said Liu.

If you look around your city, you might see girls wearing hanfu in subways or people wearing T-shirts with Chinese characters on the streets. A new trend in China—guochao, or “China-chic” is popular with young people.
Zhang Lingling, a video maker, holds a party with her friends every month. At the party, all the people wear hanfu and sing songs with traditional instruments. And these songs are based on ancient poems. “I’m really interested in clothes, songs and games based on traditional culture. I’m buying the items just because they satisfy my esthetic (审美) needs,” she told China Daily. Like Zhang, there are many young people fond of traditional Chinese culture. A report by Bilibili in February showed that over 177 million of the platform’s users loved videos full of traditional culture.
Looking for the reason behind guochao, Ji Fangfang, a professor of Social Sciences, said, “It’s because traditional culture is the best way to tell our national identity (身份).” No matter how the guochao trend develops, people always keep positive toward the country’s development. “It also shows our growing confidence in national culture.” said Yao Linqing, a professor in Communication University of China.
