Where can you learn about the culture relics（文物）of our country? You may visit museum or read books, but now a CCTV show may give you a more interesting way to learn about them.
The show is called National Treasure. It has 10 episodes（集）and shows 27 treasures from 9 major museums across China. In order to make ancient culture relics come alive, the show uses different artistic methods to explain 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 on the stage shows the treasures in detail.
The treasures are shown by national treasure guardians（守护人）, both famous people and common people. Instead of just telling the stories and history behind the treasures, the show invites famous actors to be national treasures guardians.

Famous actors Li Chen, Wang Kai and Tony Leung played the “national treasure guardians” of each item. They told not only the mysteries behind the treasures but also their own stories about them. TV viewers love their performances.
While telling the stories behind the treasures, national treasure guardians also tell their own stories. For example, an old man named Wiu Wingnian is good at making natural paints for repairing ancient paintings. For many years, he has been looking for mines（矿）deep inside mountains. On the TV program, he shows TV viewers how to make natural paints.
“As a culture show, National Treasure aims to bring history to life.

I spent a lot of time making a large shelf for my cave（洞穴）. I found a big tree and cut it down. This took three days. Then I cut off the branches. This took another two days. After that, I cut the wood away from one side, and then from the other side. This took more than one month. Altogether it took forty-two days. In England, two men with a good tool could have made six of these shelves from that tree in half a day.
I also spent a lot of time looking after my corn and rice crops（庄稼）. I had to protect them from wild animals and birds, so I made a fence around them. I shot some of the birds and hung them up near the corn. After that, all the other birds stayed away. I used one of the old knives I had taken from the ship to cut down the corn when it was ready. I was very proud of my corn and rice and worked hard to increase my crops. A few years later, I would have enough corn to make bread. I had to find a way to make the corn into flour（面粉）, but the rocks on the island were not hard enough. I finally discovered that a very hard piece of wood would do. I used some cloth to separate the meal from the skins of the crops. Not having an oven（烤炉）, I made some square pots with lids（盖子）and covered them with hot ashes（灰）. This baked（烤）the dough, and I had bread!
I sometimes wondered how I could get to the land which could be seen from the other side of the island. I went to the boat that was blown onto the beach in the accident. However, I could not get it to the water. It was too heavy. I tried many different ways of doing it, but none of them were successful.
