中国历史悠久,拥有众多古老而美丽的城市。很多城市被联合国教科文组织记录为国家有形文化遗产。最近发生在中国云南独克宗的一场大火烧毁了大部分的古城建筑,这提醒着我们,这些文化遗产就像古瓷或者一幅画卷一样脆弱,如果没有很好的措施或者政策去保护这些在破坏和掠夺中幸存下来的胜地,它们很有可能从此消失不见。作为一个对中国文化和传统深深着迷的外国人,我认为一个城市应该有一些最基本的步骤,去保留其最好的历史价值。 China has a long history and has many ancient and beautiful cities. Many cities are recorded by UNESCO as national tangible cultural heritage. A recent fire in Dukezong, Yunnan, China, destroyed most of the ancient city buildings, reminding us that the cultural heritage is as fragile as ancient porcelain or a picture scroll without good measures or policies to protect them There is a good chance they will disappear from the victorious resorts that survived destruction and plunder. As a foreigner deeply fascinated by Chinese culture and tradition, I think there should be some basic steps for a city to retain its best historical value.
