We know many musical instruments well, such as pianos, violins, drums and so on. What about the erhu The erhu is a traditional Chinese instrument. It is the most popular of the huqin family, and it has a long history.
The modem erhu developed from the xiqin, which was played by many ethnic minorities(少数民族) during the Tang Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, musicians began to use the erhu to perform different kinds of music, and it became quite a popular instrument. With the rise of some forms of folk art, the art of the erhu developed quickly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It became an important accompanying(伴奏) instrument in different folk music. At present, it is used in both traditional and modem music, such as in pop, rock and jazz. It has even become a solo (独奏的) instrument. One of the most famous musical pieces played on the erhu is Erquan Yingyue.
As the erhu was mainly played by common people and the playing skills were passed down orally (口头地), there are few written records about the erhu that can be found. To study the history and the development of the erhu, historians usually tum to ancient paintings. The earliest pictures of this instrument were found in Yulin Caves and Eastern Thousand Buddha Caves in Gansu Province, where five erhu pictures were discovered on murals (壁画).

Boris, a foreign student at Communication University of China, often shares his experiences of Chinese culture on his vlogs（视频博客）.
In one video, for example, Boris shared how he had learned the Chinese word dongxi. He translated each part separately into "east west". And he introduced one theory （说法）about how dongxi came to mean "things". He told people that all marketplaces in ancient Chinese cities were set up along a single road that ran from east to west. So when you say qu mai dongxi, you are saying, "I'm going to buy things."
Some other videos show his reading Chinese poems and performing kung fu in traditional Chinese costume, which are quite welcome among his 40,000 followers.
"Many of my followers are learning Chinese, "Boris said. "But sadly, they know little about Chinese culture and the country."
Like many foreigners, Boris once believed that all Chinese could perform kung fu, flying onto roofs and walking over walls. He thought the country was not that developed. But after he got a scholarship （奖学金）to study in China in 2019, his view changed." China has entered a new period, but many people's impressions of China are still stuck in the 1970s, "Boris said. "That's why I started to shoot videos to share Chinese culture in 2019."
Until now, Boris has posted more than 40 videos about Chinese culture online. But making these videos is not easy. Take reading the poem Second Farewell to Cambridge by Xu Zhimo as an example.
"I can understand and read every word in the poem," Boris said. "But to touch readers, I need to read with proper feelings. "So he needed to look for much background information and make his feelings suit each part of the poem.
Though shooting these videos takes lots of time, the young man feels proud that his vlogs have inspired many people. Boris said that he wanted to continue bridging the differences between two cultures. "This goal may not be achieved easily, but I will spare no effort to do my part."
31.Through the vlog, Boris mainly wants to ______.
A.teach his followers Chinese B.introduce a Chinese university
C.sell Chinese products D.share his experiences in China

A.translating it as a whole B.knowing its cultural background

33.What inspired Boris to shoot videos？

34.The poem Second Farewell to Cambridge is mentioned to ______.
A.meet the followers' needs B.express Boris's love for poems
C.show Boris's efforts at vlog-making D.give an example of Chinese culture
35.The passage is probably written to ______.

Ancient art doesn't have to be boring. Technology in the 21st century can help to bring it to life by combining(融合) the best of the old and the new.
Life along the Bian River at the Pure Brightness Festival
Walking into the China Pavilion at Expo 2010 in Shanghai, people were amazed by seeing a huge digital(数码的) painting. Scientists digitised(数码化) the famous painting Life along the Bian River at the Pure Brightness Festival by Chinese artist Zhang Zeduan.
The original(原先的) painting shows life during the Northern Song period and it includes many details of ancient Chinese customs, lifestyle sand technology.
▲ Farmers work in the fields, sailors move around their boats and people eat and do business in restaurants. Parts of the background are also animated(做成动画). You can see the wind blowing through the trees and across the water. These animations perfectly combine modern technology and ancient art.

Dunhuang Cave Paintings
Dunhuang Caves, which are protected ancient treasures in the Gobi desert in Northwest China, are filled with paintings and sculptures with lasting value. This artwork was created over a period of around 1,000 years.
