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.
1. What are the researchers and scientists trying to do
What modern technology are they using
(1) They are trying to increase knowledge and appreciation of China’s ancient cultural heritage.
(2) They are using digital photography to record a collection of images.
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
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.”
3. What do you think of the researcher’s opinion in the last paragraph
It’s very important for us to do something to protect the cultural heritage. Understanding our own and other cultures is a great way to understand ourselves and others.
