China Daily’s digital employee Yuanxi and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes’ official virtual cartoon character Jiayao together introduced an interactive digital platform(数字平台) that hosts a virtual copy of the Mogao Grottoes’ Library Cave to the world.
The platform was developed together by the Dunhuang Academy (研究院) and the Chinese tech company Tencent. It uses gaming technologies to show the historical scenes of the Library Cave in the digital world.
The Library Cave in Mogao Grottoes was discovered in 1900, with more than 60,000 cultural relics from the 4th century to the 11th century undearthed (出土). It was one of the most important discoveries in the 20th century.
On the platform, visitors can role-play and “time travel” to ancient dynasties and talk with eight historical figures. The public can enter the platform through the Digital Dunhuang website and its WeChat program.
In the digital age, the model of “culture + technology” is used to promote (促进) the development of Chinese culture. The digitalization rate (数字化率) of China’s valuable cultural relics has been more than 70 percent, according to the 2022 China Digital Collection Industry Research Report reported by iResearch.
Institutions (机构) such as the Palace Museum have also set up online digital services of their own.—Artificial intelligence (AI) technology allows the public to see the inside of the buildings through the Palace Museum’s WeChat program.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism has also encouraged the development and transformation (转型) of cultural relics by digital ways. China Central Television has created a series of digital collections with different Dunhuang themes, such as the Dunhuang divine deer Youyou. It was created according to the image (形象) of the nine-colored deer from Dunhuang murals (壁画). The public can see the divine deer on CCTV’s own digital platform.
Digital collections cater to (迎合) the habits of young people. They not only protect the cultural relics but also bring the public closer to China’s “excellent traditional culture”, reported Dunhuang Art Institute.
Su Bomin, director of the Dunhuang Academy, told Xinhua that more efforts will be made to discover new forms for showing cultural relics and offer the public cultural experiences to develop Dunhuang culture.

William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon, in England. His father, John, was a glove-maker. His mother, Mary, was a farmer’s daughter. He had two older sisters, two younger sisters and three younger brothers.
William probably studied Latin, Greek and history, and left school when he was 14 or 15. Three years later he married Anne. They had a daughter called Susanna and twins named Judith and Hamnet. Sometime before 1590 he left Stratford and went to London, the capital city of England.

When I was six years old, I saw a wonderful picture in a book. It was a picture of a boa constrictor (巨蚺) and it was eating an e 71 .
In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their food whole. After that, they sleep t 72 the six months for digestion(消化).”
I read more about it. And with a coloured pencil, I made my first drawing, my Drawing Number One. I showed my great work to the grown-ups, and asked t 73 whether the drawing make them afraid. But they answered: “Afraid Why should anyone be afraid of a h 74 ”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. To make the grown-ups see it c 75 , I made another drawing: I drew the i 76 of the boa constrictor instead of the outside. The grown-ups always need to have things explained.
But their answer was putting down my drawings of boa constrictors and devoting myself to geography, history, maths, and grammar. Clearly, my drawings were not s 77 . They never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiring for children to be always and forever e 78 things to them.
Whenever I met one of them who seemed to be clear-headed, I’ll show him my Drawing Number One. I would find out if this was a person of true understanding. H 79 , whoever it was, he or she, would always say: “That is a hat.”
Then I would n 80 talk to that person about boa constrictors, or the forest or stars, I would bring myself down to his level and talk to him about bridge, golf, and politics (政治). And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a wise man.
— Adapted from The Little Prince
