Should a city whether preserve all its old, historical buildings, or just pull them down and set up new buildings over there? The answer to this question, I believe, depends on specific situation, including the historical value, uniqueness, completeness and so on, so it varies from city to city.
To begin with, not all old buildings are possibly saved. The reason why people treat them in this way does lie not in the importance human recognize, but in the different levels of the construction's historical value. For example, the Beijing ordinary residential house is a typical type of human dewelling in Qing Dynasty. However, you can see, all these years passing away, the change in this house is neglectible. That is to say, the historical value in it has little magnitude, so it doesn't deserve big amount manual and fund resources to conserve it. On the contrary, Summer Palace witnesses all the success, failure, flourish, and recession (wane) of the last times. All designs, layout, scenery there have strong characteristics of the particular period. No one can deny its significant status in human history. At the same time, just due to this status, tourists across the world come to visit it, bringing about astounding tourism income for China, which benefits the preservation and renovation remodeling of it. This is a virtuous circle.
Except for the historical value, there is another point drawing attention from the policy makers: uniqueness. For instance, in Suzhou there is a lot of court construction. Why the government focuses on only Zhuozheng Garden and several other ones to give them considerable protection? Singularity. All the unprotected gardens aren't interesting and attractive, but repeatedly the same or similar style. Now that to protect all old buildings is not realistic, to pay more attention to the peculiar ones is reasonable and effective. Simply the features of them appeal people.
Another aspect deserving care is the completeness. If a building is too shabby to save, we can't waste time and money on it. For example, maybe there is a debris under a farm, but we can't avoid using the land in view of the balance between present utilization and preservation value.
All in all, to decide whether an old building deserves protection or not, we have to consider at least three factors: historical value, uniqueness and completeness. To sacrifice all the modern life to save the debris is not worthy; to destroy all old construction just for the most degree of reclaiming land is also a loss for our history memory. 这篇同上：） 暂时没有找到老师帮我改的那几篇。嘻嘻，不好意思。 |
