    1 Whether we should preserve the old buildings? What’s your opinion?
    It is not fully aware for some people of the importance to preserve old buildings. As for me, I firmly support to preserve them.
    The old buildings are living history. Obviously, the old buildings themselves are helping to unravel the mysteries of history more believable than history textbooks. They tell us how our forefathers lived what they believed. they tell us what level our civilization reached, And they tell us the reason as to the development and demise of some developed civilization in history and so forth. Most important, remember: the old buildings would continue to tell us more than what we can bear just now, and that is one of the major reasons why we should preserve them. Without the old buildings, history to a certain degree is a haze and the promise of human beings is a closed book.
    Moreover, the old buildings embody our philosophy and values. For instance, The Temple of Heaven shows the idea that the heave is round and the earth is square, which has a very rich meaning. And in values, it tells us we should respect the Nature with the fear of the God. In the same way, other old buildings not so well-known as the Temple of Heaven also give us other teachings. We as a nation unite through our philosophy and values, some of which, no doubt, embodied in these old buildings. Without them, we have no root and self-confidence. and we could not last for long against the globalization waves.
    In a nutshell, we should seek other ways to improve our life and expand economy. It is not wise to abolish the old buildings. We must never even in mind abolish them but preserve them.
