Where can you learn about the cultural relics (文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them.
The show is called National Treasure and it shows 27 treasures from 9 museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive, the show uses different ways to make sense (意义) of the story, history and culture behind them.
Although it's a show about old relics, it looks modern and technical. An IMAX-sized LED screen shows the treasures.
The treasures are introduced by national (国家的) treasure keepers. The show invites famous actors to be national treasure keepers, and they act out the stories. The actors even use the funny words to make their performances interesting and alive. "Our show invited famous people so that the show can reach more people. As the actors try to find out more about these treasures, the audience (观众) will follow them on a journey," said Yu Lei, producer (监制人) and director (导演) of the show. For example, actor Wang Kai played Emperor Qianlong on the show. The audience loved his performances.
The show has become widely popular with its interesting stories, good performances and funny words. It has helped more people know ancient cultural relics and has encouraged more people to visit museums.
