　　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 handcraft in a museum. At the same time, it seems that the little handiwork is smiling as well.

　　In my opinion, the traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive, but, in fact, is 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 buttressed and 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 customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If tai chi chuan, kung-fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Fortunately, as a result of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interests overseas, the future of China’s traditional culture looks brighter and more secure than ever before.
