The Chinese began to accept Western medicine as early as the beginning of 20th century,     1    Chinese medicine is still in doubt among Western people. To them, Chinese medicine, like ancient China, is mysterious and beyond     2     (believe).

Chinese medicines, most of them     3     (be) originally natural herbs, are made through having these materials simmered, roasted, or fried without having specific standards. This is the main reason for     4    they’re not recognized internationally. Chinese medicines usually appear in     5     form of pills, tablets and most commonly herb teas. They are used     6     account of their power in aid of recovery and they tend to produce long­term effects. They might be     7     (slow) in curing the patient of the disease, but they have less serious side effects even if     8     (take) frequently, for each medicinal herb is prescribed (开处方) for the benefit of the patient, causing no harm to the liver or the kidneys.

It is obvious that no matter how strange they may seem to Westerners, Chinese medicines     9     (use) for thousands of years and prove to be extremely effective. It’s up to us     10     (promote) the precious heritage.

Do you know Dunhuang? Dunhuang is home to the Mogao Grottoes,     1     UNESCO World Heritage Site, elements of which are     2     display in an ongoing exhibition at the National Base for International Cultural Trade in Beijing. Painted sculptures and other splendid items of cultural heritage have been reproduced, while the caves     3     are now closed have been reproduced in digital form.

The exhibition area,     4     (cover) some 1,600 square meters, features the results of research on nearly 50 sets of cultural relics from the Dunhuang Academy.     5     the real grotto in Dunhuang is no longer open to the public, the digitally     6     (restore) grotto can be preserved forever in the digital space.

Opening in July, the exhibition will last for three years. It is the first time that the Dunhuang Academy     7     (hold) such a long exhibition in Beijing. By the end of 2021, the “digital Dunhuang project” had completed the digital    8     (collect)of 268 grottoes. Such projects have provided a means of preserving China’s splendid cultural heritage for future generations, while making it more     9     (wide) available both at home and abroad. It is hoped that the “digital Dunhuang” will not only allow more audiences to experience the artistic charm of Dunhuang,     10     also promote exchanges between cultures along the Belt and Road under new historical conditions.
