After the broadcast of National Treasure, a hit CCTV program on historical relics in 2017, more people visited museums and art galleries. Over 250,000 people visited Tianjin Museum and Tianjin Art Museum during the 2018 Spring Festival, an increase of 40 percent over 2017. People go to museums after watching TV shows to feel the impact of cultural relics.

Lu has written a book called Tianjin's Relics and Collections. "I want to spread the spirit of donation of relics by collectors. To donate relics is another way to inherit the traditional culture. And the museum's showing of the relics to the public is also a protection and inheritance of relics," Lu said.
The Tianjin Art Museum recently held a show introducing the city's art over the last hundred years, which was also an inheritance of culture. During this year's Spring Festival, five volunteers introduced the exhibition to the public.
"The Museum will build a platform for young artists to learn history and show their own work. We will also introduce foreign excellent artworks into Tianjin to enrich residents' lives," Lu added.
