Lots of Chinese cultural and art treasures have been put on show in many parts of the world this past year, showcasing the beauty of the Chinese civilization on the global stage and promote cultural exchanges.

Last December, New Zealand's national museum in Wellington started a four-month exhibition(展覽)of the Terracotta Army. Early on the opening day, local people lined up to see some life-size clay models of Chinese soldiers, horses and chariots that were meant to guard the tomb of Emperor Qinshihuang about 2,000 years ago. More than 160 pieces of ancient Chinese antiques were also on show, providing visitors with a view of the long-standing beauty of Asian civilization.

It was a "once in a lifetime" experience, said Rebecca Rice, the exhibitions curator. At the opening ceremony（儀式）New Zealand Tourism Minister Kelvin Davis said “the exhibition will encourage（鼓勵(lì)）more New Zealanders to go on the journey to understand China, one of our most important partners .”

What's more, some museums have explored new ways and techniques to add more fun to visitors experience of enjoying Chinese cultural relics. On Jan 30, ahead of the Chinese Spring Festival, a creative Chinese cultural exhibition was held at the Guimet National Museum of Asian Arts in Paris offering people an experience with Chinese New Year customs and rituals. Through a China-developed Wechat( 微信)app on a smart phone, visitors could design clothes using beautiful patterns of ancient paintings from the Mogao Grottoes and wear their self-designed clothes to celebrate the traditional Chinese festival.

Digital technologies (數(shù)字技術(shù))have also created new ways to exhibit treasures from China. In early 2019, China’s tech giant Tencent( i and Prances union of national museums(RMN) reached an agreement to enhance cultural exchanges, traditional cultural inheritance and innovation.

Under the cooperative framework, the two sides organized a number of exhibitions to present the Chinese treasures collected by French museums in digital forms online.

Patrick Dambron, chairman of France-china Art and Culture Academy (AFCAC), said Internet technologies have enabled cultural heritage to regain its vitality, and encouraged younger generations to inject vigor into modern and traditional arts and culture.

Once a man needed a new pair of shoes. This man was very good at math. He knew that in order to get shoes that fit him perfectly, it would be necessary to measure his shoe size.

So before he went to the market, he carefully measured his feet and drew a very detailed picture of his feet on a piece of paper. He wrote the exact size of each foot on the paper so that he would not buy the wrong size. Then before leaving the house, like a good mathematician, he rechecked his picture.

It was a very long way from the man’s home to the market where he wanted to buy the shoes. It was afternoon when the man arrived at the market. When he reached a shoe store and was about to get in, the man realized that he had forgotten to bring the paper that he had carefully written on. He turned around and walked all the way back home to get it.

It was nearly sunset when the man arrived back at the market. The market was closing. The shoemaker had packed up all of his shoes in bags and was ready to go home. Seeing this, the man stopped the shoemaker quickly and asked him to unpack his bags to sell shoes.

“Hey! I’ve never seen a bigger bean brain like you,” the shoemaker said, “why didn’t you just try on the shoes in my store, but go home and get your paper?”

The man’s face turned red, hanging his head down. “I thought there was only one way to solve my problem. I should have thought to check with others if they had better solutions that might be as good as mine, or even better than my own.”
