Must urbanization and modernization be at the expense of historical and cultural heritage?

Advanced developed countries, such as Rome, will not sacrifice their historical and cultural heritage. Many places in China do not sacrifice their historical and cultural heritage, such as Xi 'an and Luoyang.

The so-called historical and cultural heritage is the remains left over from the current history. The destruction of historical and cultural heritage by urbanization mainly occurs in China. The most fundamental reason for this phenomenon is that since the May 4th Movement, Chinese people have lost confidence in China's traditional culture and history, thinking that China has always been backward and ignorant, treating all traditional cultures as feudal dross and China's history as a dark history of feudal autocracy and oppression. The conclusion is that the Chinese nation is backward and ignorant. What a backward and ignorant nation can create is naturally backward and ignorant. We don't need to keep such backward and ignorant things at all. We need a revolution, starting with culture and changing national culture. This is the most fundamental reason for the destruction of historical and cultural heritage. No one realizes the value of tradition and loses the awe of tradition, so money can be destroyed and power can be destroyed. After the destruction, it will not only cost nothing at all, but also bring you many benefits, and so on.

The destruction of cultural heritage is mainly concentrated between the founding of the People's Republic of China and 2000. Before the reform, it was caused by political factors, and after the reform and opening up, it was caused by economic development, namely urbanization. But fundamentally, this is all caused by political factors, because in previous generations, few people can realize the significance of traditional culture to the nation and the important value of cultural heritage.

Entering the 2 1 century, the country gradually realized the significance of traditional culture, so many places have introduced protective measures. For example, in Luoyang and Xi 'an, those places will be punished if they want to demolish ancient buildings and rebuild them according to their original appearance. When you go to Luoyang and Xi 'an, you can see that the ancient city is quite well preserved. It can be seen that as long as we have awe of traditional culture, realize the value of tradition and want to protect these historical and cultural heritages, we will certainly be able to do it. It is not said that urbanization must sacrifice historical and cultural heritage.
