Conversation One
M: China has held many cultural exchange activities in Europe and many other parts of the world。
The coming China Culture Week is the largest cultural exhibition of its kind. May I know the purpose of staging such an exhibition?
W: We have entered the new millennium. We hope that the exhibition will help the British people and people from other parts of the world learn about the past and the present of China。
Meanwhile, the Culture Week is expected to promote the exchanges between China and the UK and the understanding of the two cultures, and narrow the distance between the East and the West。
M: What will be displayed within the seven days?
W: We have selected some subjects that represent the essence of Chinese culture, both ancient and modern. The activities are of two major types: exhibitions and performances。
M: Could you tell me more about the exhibition?
W: Well, it includes the achievements of China’s education, culture, architecture, science and technology. We’ll show you the new outlook of Beijing and Shanghai as well as the best works of Chinese pottery, costumes of Beijing Opera and cultural relics unearthed in China。
M: What about the Beijing Opera costumes to be displayed?
W: Beijing Opera originated from Beijing some 200 years ago during the Qing Dynasty. It’s a performing art that embraces opera performance, singing, music, dancing and martial arts. The costume exposition will present 200 years of development of the "Oriental Opera" and the performing costume dating back to the late Qing Dynasty. The costume design adopted exaggeration and symbolic means and bright colors. The materials are unique, so are the ailoring skills. Another exhibition will display a total of 600 sets of clothes, including the ancient clothes of different dynasties from Qin to Han, the costumes of China’s ethnic groups,and modern garments and accessories. Famous models from the mainland will participate to present the achievements of the Chinese garment industry and Chinese designers。
