Where can you learn about the cultural relics (文物) of our country? You may visit museums or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more fun way to learn about them.

The show is called National Treasure and it shows 27 treasures from 9 museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive, the show uses different ways to make sense (意义) of the story, history and culture behind them.

Although it's a show about old relics, it looks modern and technical. An IMAX-sized LED screen shows the treasures.

The treasures are introduced by national (国家的) treasure keepers. The show invites famous actors to be national treasure keepers, and they act out the stories. The actors even use the funny words to make their performances interesting and alive. "Our show invited famous people so that the show can reach more people. As the actors try to find out more about these treasures, the audience (观众) will follow them on a journey," said Yu Lei, producer (监制人) and director (导演) of the show. For example, actor Wang Kai played Emperor Qianlong on the show. The audience loved his performances.

The show has become widely popular with its interesting stories, good performances and funny words. It has helped more people know ancient cultural relics and has encouraged more people to visit museums.

In Chinese celebrations, whether it is an important birthday or a traditional festival, one of the most typical elements (元素) is the lucky and auspicious (吉祥的) symbols.

To most Chinese, when it comes to lucky symbols, the top three are surely fu, lu and shou, which are sometimes called the three gods.

During Chinese New Year, we would put up red squares with the character fu on them. Some people would put their fu character upside down. In Chinese when we say the fu character is upside down, it sounds like good luck has arrived.

lu often has to do with one's job and richness. Lu refers to well pay and ranks (等级) in ancient China. Hulu, gourds (葫芦), sounds like hulu (护禄) which means protecting lu. So traditionally, people use gourds to scare away bad spirits and illnesses and keep rich and successful.

Shou means long-lived life. Even nowadays when someone is having their holiday celebration, we would call this person shouxing, a god. At birthday parties for elder people, we often see peaches. That's because according to the legend (传说), the Queen Mother of the West grows peaches in her own garden, and whoever gets to eat these peaches will live forever.

Besides the three, lucky and auspicious symbols can be easily found in the food we eat. For the Chinese New Year dinner, most families would have fish because the character fish sounds like surplus (有余). In southern China, niangao, a kind of rice cake is a lucky food because niangao sounds like getting higher every year. And for Lantern Festival, we have tangyuan, a kind of sticky rice dumplings. They are round shapes and the pronunciation of the food symbolizes being together.

Life is full of surprise as long as you try your best in the face of challenges. I still remember my music teacher Ms. Smith, and her words "Be a true winner in your own heart." encourage me to improve myself in many ways.

I used to be afraid of joining in school activities. Once, our school had a welcome party for new foreign teachers. My teacher asked me to show Chinese kung fu. Though I have been learning it since nearly four years ago, I still worried about it, because it was the first time for me to stand on stage. 

The party began with Peking Opera. When I stood on stage, I felt even more nervous. I worried that others would laugh at me if I couldn't do it perfectly. I thought of the music teacher's words" Be a true winner in your own heart", and I became brave. Then I started my performance. Hearing applause (掌声) from the teachers, I knew I made it .

When I finished my show, I ran towards Ms. Smith, and I gave her a big hug (拥抱) . It was Ms. Smith that made me realize how strong I could be . The valuable (宝贵的) experience did give me a great lesson. It encouraged me to keep challenging myself to be a better man.
