Living history
1 One by one, men and women from different historical periods came down from the wall paintings. Their pretty traditional clothes danced to the "singing sands" of Dunhuang.
2 This 2021 hanfu show was a big hit on the internet. It presented ancient Chinese fashions in a lively way. Reading about history is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.
3 Besides fashion shows like this, there are many other ways to help people understand history. With a little creativity, history becomes more than hard-to-remember facts. The past comes to life for us to see and feel.
4 Technology plays a role in bringing history alive. In the past, Along the River During the Qingming Festival was just a painting with a history of over 900 years in a museum. Now with a multimedia screen, the painting becomes a noisy city. There, people talk, horses walk and boats move along the river. Visitors can watch it, listen to it and even become part of it.
5 The treasures of history have also come into people's homes. Over the years, the Palace Museum has made many creative products out of its collections. These products have started a fever for traditional culture among people of all ages. People take pride in having them. More museums are doing the same to bring history into daily life. Traditional designs, such as dragons, clouds and bats, have appeared on scarves, bags, fridge magnets and even pencils and erasers.
6 History mirrors our past and carries our values. Only by understanding history can we face the future better. It’s important to know what once happened and pass it on. These new ways help to make this possible!
