PROMOTING CULTURE THROUGH DIGITAL IMAGES
Lanzhou, 9 August 2017. A group of researchers and scientists from China and other countries are working together to help increase knowledge and appreciation of China’s ancient cultural heritage. They are recording and collecting digital images of cultural relics 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.

敦煌
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 a copy of the caves and paintings for people to admire in America.
Because they are a key stop along the Silk Road throughout China’s ancient history and have long been a meeting point for different cultures and are part of the history of many countries.
2. Why are so many people interested in the Mogao Caves
敦煌
3. What do you think of the researcher’s opinion in the last paragraph
I agree with the researcher’s opinion.
For one thing, understanding our own and other cultures is a great way to understand ourselves and others. For another, it’s important for us to protect historic and
cultural relics for future generations.
By sharing so many digital photos over the Internet, the group hopes to promote 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 historic and cultural relics for future generations to understand and appreciate. As one researcher who is working on the project explains, “Appreciating one’s own cultural heritage is very important for understanding oneself. Appreciating the cultural heritage of other countries is very important for international communication and understanding.”

Chen Lei is a senior teacher who takes photos of old buildings in Wuhan in order to preserve the city’s culture heritage.
Write the body part
Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and takes photos of old buildings. Besides, he interviewed old people to write stories about the old buildings. When he is free, he visits schools to tell students about the ways of preserving the cultural heritage.
Add some reasonable details!
Chen Lei is a senior teacher who takes photos of old buildings in Wuhan in order to preserve the city’s culture heritage.
Every day, Chen Lei takes his camera and walks patiently through the older parts of the city. Over the years he has taken thousands of pictures of old buildings to create a record for his fellow citizens in the present and future. Besides, he interviewed over 50 old people to write stories about the old buildings. When he is free, he visits schools to tell students about the ways of preserving the cultural heritage. He said:“ The old buildings are alive legacy to date back to the ancient ages and pass on the future.”
Neither people nor buildings last forever, but Chen Lei’s photos can help us remember them. The stories that accompany them also help build a picture of life for future generations to hear and add their own stories, too.
