The Chinese TV program National Treasure is very popular, especially among the young people. Some audience(观众)were even moved to tears when watching the program. So what makes it so popular?
In order to bring life to the national treasures, the show collected 27 cultural relics(遗物)from nine large museums across the country, including the Palace Museum, Shanghai Museum, Henan Museum and Shanxi History Museum and so on.
The show also invited some people to be the "guardians(守卫人)"of the relics and to tell "previous and present life stories" of the relics. The guardians would put on short plays about the origins of the relics, or tell stories about the relics.
Audience are attracted not only by the priceless cultural relics, but also by the interesting short plays. These plays have many popular online topics and jokes in order to bring the museums and the relics closer to the public.
Yu Lei, director of National Treasure, said, "The show presents the treasures through different artistic methods, and tells the story and the history behind each cultural relic. So the audience can not only enjoy the beauty of the cultural relics, but also understand Chinese culture and the civilization(文明)they carry. "
Since the beginning of 2017, other cultural programs, such as Chinese Poetry Competition and The Readers, have already won much praise from the audience. "Back to tradition" and "the spirit of the craftsman(工匠)" have become hot topics in society.
The popularity of cultural programs reflects Chinese people like high-quality cultural production. China has rich culture, and these programs give us a great chance to educate the young people and build our cultural confidence.
