Admittedly, there are innumerable old residential buildings existed in city, which possess no historic value and occupied extended space. Replacing these old buildings of modern architectures are beneficial to offer comfortable as well as safe living place for dwellers. Modern buildings adopt much more reasonable architecture structure and equip with sophisticated facilities, such as advanced heating system,central air-conditioner and so on.


In conclusion, we should protect traditional buildings that have high historical value and represent the city’s history development. Moreover, we are supposed to demolish old buildings that are out of use, especially the dangerous residential old buildings.

Preserving Historic Buildings or traditional building


Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for the government to spend money on new buildings than to preserve historic or traditional buildings and homes.

Along with city modernization, multitudes of numerous traditional styled architecture buildings have been demolished; something we should think/contemplate on. a phenomenon that deserves people’s contemplation. Some people maintain that historic buildings they are the symbol of city’s history, they cannot should not be destroyed for establishing just so a modern skyscrapercan be placed in its stead. On the other hand, contrary, others individuals point out that these are decrepit old buildings, taking which take up a huge amount of real estate space and contain no value at all.  , which are supposed to They should be removed from the modern city. When dealing with this issue, people ought to comprehensively consider this topic and avoid oversimplification We all should consider this more deeply and avoid just throwing out general statements.

 

First of all, Historic buildings contain conventional do have valueThey generate income from foreign tourists.  No one wants to come to a foreign city just to look at something similar they have in their hometown.  An excellent example, the former Fobidden City.  , which are conducive to attract an ocean of visitors and bring huge economic benefits to the city. Currently, citizens are obsessed with visiting traditional buildings, an vivid approach to reminisce elapsed Not only is it a money making enterprise but it gives the sense of history and a symbol of a nation. In Beijing, hundreds of thousands people come to witness the magnificent Forbidden City, which used to be the emperor’s living place. Not only does the Forbidden City represent the history of Beijing, but also it has brought great tourist revenues to government. Demolishing traditional building do harm to economic development as well as erase the unique history of city So why don't demolish it; after all its values also contravene the norms of a modern society.

In addition, traditional buildings serve as the symbol of city, which enable the city to be unique and differentiate from other cities. Temple of Earth,an architecture used for worship ceremony, is the mark of Beijing. Chinese students are invariably required to visit this historic building, in order to learn about the structure of traditional building and comprehend its religious function. Moreover, to research and exploit the color utilization in historic buildings, scholars travel thousands of miles to Temple of Earth and study the color manifested in Temple of Earth. It simply contained four colors, which are red, white, grey and yellow, whereas these four color combined in diverse way to show the principle of royal institutions(皇家建筑?). Therefore, ruining historic buildings make all the cities become same and lost history value in research. This entire paragraph does not answer the question.  You should write something like this,


They also serve to remind us of our past mistakes or glories.  Without such cultural things in our lives, we will be living in a souless society.  We are human beings; not automatons.  Therefore I say the government should be taking more interest in preserving them.  Remember the Neuschwanstein Castle?  It was thought at the time, it was the folly of the Bavarian King.  Remember the nickname still attached to him? Lugwig the Mad?  Well, who would want to go there and not seeing all his other follies as well?
