Ancient buildings should be preserved in modern life

Because the old buildings have a unique artistry, is the heritage of traditional Chinese culture; and some of the old buildings is the crystallization of the combination of Chinese and Western culture (such as Kaiping Watchtower, Guangdong unique riding tower, etc.), if the old buildings are all replaced by modern buildings, then the nation still have what to be proud of the history, culture? So we can not just "break the old and make the new", remember Jackie Chan donated the old buildings to Singapore? What does this mean? Therefore, what we should do is to plan for the preservation of these meaningful and valuable old buildings. Don't let me fail to find a single historical building in a country that has a claim to be an ancient historical civilization.

The key to remodeling or preserving old buildings is to combine them with their surroundings. Advantages of remodeling: show the cultural heritage of the city; retain the main typical features of the original building; increase the tourism value, remodeling, Xi'an's old city wall of the Ming Dynasty is good. Retain the disadvantages: urban planning is not convenient; retain the original appearance of high risk, the cost of a large number of possible loss of the main features; purely ancient buildings are mostly dilapidated and lack of authenticity, is not easy for the public to accept
