If most museums, theaters and libraries are closed, you might miss the cultural activities you used to have during holidays. But don't worry. As we are living in the Internet era(时代), virtual(虚拟的)museums, concerts, and libraries are at our fingertips, ready to be discovered from our homes.
Cloud museums
If you are a fan of museums, visit the official website of the National Museum of China. There are VR exhibitions(虚拟现实展览),live-streaming(直播)classes and many other resources. For example, an exhibition about Confucius is going on right now. You can learn about his life and ancient culture during the Spring and Autumn Period (770 BC - 476 BC). There are also pictures and videos of the relics(文物),such as bianzhong and books.
Cloud concerts
Do you miss going to live concerts? There are many online concerts going on right now, such as "DOULive Sofa Concert" on Douyin and "I'm With You" on Weibo. Go and find your favorite singers! Talented singers are in their live houses with microphones and musical instruments such as guitars or pianos. Since they're streaming live as they perform, you can not only interact with them by writing comments(评论),but also pick songs for them to sing. What a cool experience!
Cloud libraries
There are many online libraries that provide free digital resources, such as the National Library of China, Shanghai Library and Hubei Library. On the Shanghai Library website, for example, you can see on the front page that there are many books related to virus outbreaks. Of course, you can also find other materials in these online libraries—comic books, documentary films, and English tutoring(教学)videos are all available.
