Should Yuanmingyuan Be Built?
Yuanmingyuan,Garden of all gardens,was burnt down in 1860.Recently my classmates had a discussion about whether it should be rebuilt or not.
Some of them strongly support the idea of rebuilding with various persuasive reasons.To reconstruct it,we can be thoroughly intoxicated in its vast magnificence as well as fully present the splendor of Chinese culture.And definitely,it will become an inviting landscape to attract an increasing number of visitors.Or even if we merely partly rebuild it,people who come here will still deeply remember the humiliation of the past when compared it to the ruins beside it.
While others are still strongly against it,thinking it is fairly reasonable to leave it as what it was to warn every visitors not to forget the past.Besides,other cultural relics such as the Palace Museum and the Summer Palace have already fulfilled the task of illustrating Chinese culture,so it is not necessary to rebuild it.And taken the environment into consideration,the rebuilding project is really detrimental to the eco-system.
