Question 1: Do you know any case of rescuing cultural relics in China? Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor Terra Cotta Warriors Mawangdui Han Tomb painting on silk mask in the San xingdui Ruins Nanhai No. 1 shipwreck Activity 4: Extra reading Watch the video about Nanhai No. 1. Deep in the South China Sea lay a hidden treasure—the Nanhai No. 1, a shipwreck dating back to the Song Dynasty. Discovered in 1987, it remained untouched for over a decade. As the ship was buried deep under several meters of mud and sand, the task of digging up this sunken ship proved to be quite challenging. It wasn't until 2007 that the excavation project started, marking the beginning of an extraordinary journey into the past. A team of archaeologists, historians, marine experts and divers spent countless hours carefully planning and researching every step of the process. Special equipment like underwater cameras and remotely operated devices were used for investigating and documenting the ship. The archaeologists dived into the deep sea, battling strong currents and limited visibility, to carefully take out fragile objects from over 800 years ago. Meanwhile, a museum was constructed on the site to house the ship, with strict environmental control and innovative conservation methods. In 2010, a breakthrough was achieved----the Nanhai No. 1 was successfully raised from the seabed. The experts made a giant underwater box weighing 5,500 tons, which was big enough to hold the sunken ship. Archaeologists put this box underwater, attached it to the seabed, and covered the sunken ship with it. After they cleaned the mud around the box and put in a bottom plate, they lifted the box out of the water. The whole project cost $20 million but marked a significant milestone in maritime archaeology. Raised from the seabed, the ancient ship was carefully transported to the museum for preservation. By 2016, more than 14,000 objects had been recovered, including ceramics, gold and silver items, as well as about 17,000 copper coins. Each item provides an insight into the ancient maritime Silk Road of China---- a crucial trade route connecting China with other parts of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Today, visitors to the museum can witness the salvage process and admire the relics from the ship. Its significance extends beyond the cultural relics the ancient ship holds, but also in how it opens a window for us to glimpse the brilliance of Chinese history and culture. It also symbolizes China's commitment to preserving its rich cultural legacy, ensuring that future generations appreciate the value of our shared cultural heritage. Text source: Chinadaily (adapted by ChatGTP) Finding the Ancient Shipwreck the Abu Simbel Temple the Nanhai No. 1 time taken problems solutions significance 23 years (1987-2010) The ship was buried deep under several meters of mud and sand. The divers had to fight with strong currents and limited visibility A giant box was sunken to the seabed to hold the whole ship and then was raised to the surface with the ship together. The relics were saved and people home and abroad can learn more about the history through them. Both cases demonstrate the dedication to preserving our shared human history and cultural identity. They also highlights we human’s wisdom of solving problems. about 30 years (1950s-1980) A dam was to build and water from the dam would likely damage the temple. The temple was taken down piece by piece and then moved and put back together again in a safe place. The relics were protected and it proved to be possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow. Compare these two cases of cultural relics protection and find out the similarity. What can we learn from cultural relics? Cultural relics teach us about our past, helping us understand ancient societies, traditions, and technologies. They preserve history and heritage, fostering appreciation for diverse cultures and promoting respect for our ancestors' achievements. Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to the future generations. ---- World Heritage Centre Activity 5: Extra thinking Nantou(南头古城) in Shenzhen City is an ancient town dotted with a bunch of cultural sites, but it is also a crowded residence area which develops very fast.
