Unit 5- (2) Chinese Cultural Heritage Great saying: What’s unique for a nation is also precious for the world. What does it mean? Please discuss it in groups. Lanzhou, 9 August 2017. A group of researchers and scientists from China and other countries are working together to help increase knowledge and appreciation(鉴赏力)of China’s ancient cultural heritage. They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics(文物) from the Mogao Caves, which were a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China’s ancient history. Nearly 500,000 high-quality digital photographs have been produced since the international project started in 1994. The Mogao Caves have long been a meeting point for different cultures and are part of the history of many countries. Today, the caves are just as international as they were at the time when people travelled the Silk Road. Tourists from all over the world visit Dunhuang to see the caves, and the Getty Museum in Los Angeles has even reproduced(复制) a copy of the caves and paintings for people to admire(欣赏) in America. By sharing so many digital photos over the Internet, the group hopes to promote(促进) even wider interest around the world in China’s ancient history, culture, and traditions. They also hope to further educate people about the importance of safeguarding(保护) historic and cultural relics for future generations to understand and appreciate.

Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.” Do you agree with the point? What does it mean? Tom: Hi,Mary!
