The ancient culture of China is one of the great treasures of human civilization.In the photo above,a foreign lady is pleasantly appreciating a traditional Chinese vase in a museum.Obviously,she has been attracted by its elegant charm.

In my opinion,traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive,but is,in fact,destined to thrive and prosper.One factor that has already begun to contribute to the preservation of Chinese traditional culture is its commercialization.Another reason that the future of China's ancient culture can be considered "safe" is the active efforts to protect it on the part of the Chinese government.Finally,the culture of China is supported by widespread and growing international interest in China and its traditions.

For China,as for any other rapidly developing country,there is a danger that age-old（adj.年代久遠(yuǎn)的） customs and traditions may become lost in the shadow of modernization.If tai chi,kung fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth,it would be a tragedy of immeasurable government support and growing interest overseas,the future of China's traditional culture seems brighter and more secure than ever before.

中國古老的文化是人類文明的偉大財富之一。在上述圖片中，一位外國女士正在一所博物館中愉快地欣賞一件中國傳統(tǒng)工藝的花瓶。顯然，女士被它優(yōu)雅的魅力所吸引。

在我看來，中國傳統(tǒng)文化不但肯定能夠存續(xù)，而且事實上必將會繁榮興盛。首先，已經(jīng)開始對保護(hù)中國傳統(tǒng)文化做出貢獻(xiàn)的一個因素是其自身的商業(yè)化。其次，中國古老文化的未來可被視為“安全”的另一個原因是中國政府在保護(hù)文化方面做出的積極努力。最后，隨著國際上對中國及其傳統(tǒng)越來越濃厚的興趣，中國文化得到了國際上的廣泛支持。

中國跟世界上其他快速發(fā)展的國家一樣，古老的習(xí)俗和傳統(tǒng)在現(xiàn)代化的陰影下面臨著消失的危險。如果太極拳、中國功夫或京劇永遠(yuǎn)從地球上消失，那將是不可估量的悲劇。幸運的是，由于成功的商業(yè)努力、政府堅定不移的支持和不斷增長的海外興趣，中國傳統(tǒng)文化的未來似乎比過去任何時候更光明、更安全。
