unit5 Meeting your ancestorsⅠ.阅读理解AAn exhibition of models, 3-D images and videos has brought the Old Summer Palace, known as Yuanmingyuan, back to life, giving a fascinating insight into the life of China’s royal families. Sun Yuanqing reports.More than a century after it was looted (掠夺) and burned down, Y uanmingyuan has been restored to its former glory in a unique way.Exhibition Glory of the Yuanmingyuan, arouses the history and culture of Yuanmingyuan through models, 3-D images and videos. It is currently on display at the Chinese Culture Center in Moscow in celebration of the China-Russia Tourism Year.“It is a breakthrough in the history of Yuanmingyuan，” says Chen Yanying, co-curator (联合馆长) of the exhibition. “It is not meant to condemn the countries that took part in the turmoil (骚动), instead, it is going to send a positive voice, to let more people learn about and come to visit Yuanmingyuan.”Yuanmingyuan’s cultural relics, artworks and architecture that were looted or destroyed in the late 1800s and early 1900s, have now been brought to life on the touch panels. A miniature model of Haiyantang, the largest European garden in Y uanmingyuan, also made its debut (登场), along with replicas (复制品) of the 12 bronze zodiac animal heads that decorate its fountain.One of the highlights of the event is the various interactive (交互式) programs that allow visitors to not only appreciate, but also take part in the creation process of art, says Chen.“For people who know little about Yuanmingyuan, pictures alone can’t do it，” says Chen. “That’s why we need to develop experience centers to help people in other countries relate to Yuanmingyuan.”In the experience center of royal architecture design, visitors can try to build architecture models, discovering how Chinese architecture takes shape without using nails and glue.In the miniature Banmuyuan Garden, the place where the royal family watched opera, there are handmade embroidered (绣花的) costumes and puppets (木偶), which visitors can try on and pose for photographs with. In the imperial schoolroom, where the princes of the royal family used to study, visitors can learn Chinese calligraphy.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。
