A TV program “National Treasure” has become a huge hit since last December. It is another cultural TV program on CCTV that has ever had wonderful successes in China，after the “Chinese Character Dictation Competition” in 2013，the “Chinese Idiom Competition” in 2014，the “Chinese Riddle Competition” in 2016，and the “Chinese Poetry Competition” in 2017.
The TV program has ten episodes(集). Across them，a total of 27 national treasures from nine major Chinese museums were presented. The program brings these relics(古物) to life and displays their unique beauty through different artistic methods. The opening episode showed three of China's finest cultural treasures from the Palace Museum in Beijing. 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.
Li Chen plays Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty，and tells the history of a precious painting “A Panorama of Rivers and Mountains” by Wang Ximeng from the Song Dynasty.
Wang Kai，acting as Emperor Qianlong(1711－1799) of the Qing Dynasty(1644－1911)，presented the historical background of “Large Vase with Variegated Glazes”. The vase has 17 kinds of glaze(釉) and 12 paintings，and had to be refired several times in its production. During the rule of Qianlong，China's porcelain(制瓷的) techniques were the finest in the world.
Hong Kong actor Tony Leung is the national treasure guardian of the 23hundredyearold stone drum and plays Sima Guang(1019－1086) from the Northern Song Dynasty. Sima Guang and his father Sima Chi worked hard to find the real stone drums and protected them in the past.
“As a culture show，‘National Treasure’ aims to bring history to life. We want our viewers to feel that the cultural relics are like people and that they have their own personalities and lives.” said Yu Lei，producer of the program，“People's interest in culture as well as the tradition and workmanship of the Chinese nation has become a trend(潮流). This has encouraged us to better promote(弘扬) our fine culture. We hope through the program，more and more people will go into museums to enjoy the beauty of relics.”
