National Treasure has Chinese audiences fired up.But don't confuse it with the Hollywood action film of the same name,in which the hidden history of the United States going back around 250 years is discovered.In the Chinese show,producers are lucky—China has a much longer history,and their plan to introduce relics is welcomed by the Palace Museum in the Forbidden City,and eight key provincelevel museums.
Yu Lei,director of the show,explained how items are chosen,“Our standard is not to choose the most precious items.We want the ones with most attractive stories.If people are bored,there is something wrong with our methods.”“These cultural relics are like aged people.They have so much to tell us,”she said.
In each 100minute period,three key exhibits from a museum are introduced by entertainment stars,called the “national treasure guardians”,through short stage dramas,telling the history of the legends behind the items.Some lesserknown stories on how the items were unearthed are featured (是……的重要组成) in the show.In the periods,experts speak about the relics and ordinary people are also invited on stage to share their stories linked to such relics.Knowledge,entertainment,taste and an accessible approach have been put together in one show.When people see cultural relics in this lively way,they feel history.
The aim of the show is not to create a hit program but to attract more people to museums.More seasons of National Treasure are planned,and some treasures from the show are to be featured in a touring exhibition soon after the first season ends.A show like this fuels people's pride in their country.
