The speaker's view neglects that thoseareas out of major cities take important position in generating and preservingcultural traditions, in that he wrongly concludes that governments must meetthe financial requirement of the big cities needed to thrive.
I concede that some notable cities possessa great number of cultural assets. For instance, every individual living in Beijing is proud of those famous historical buildings likethe Greet Wall, the Summer Palace and so on. In anot dissimilar way, peopel share a opinion that Paris is a string place, since most top-rankfashion shows are hold there. After all, governments should take enough actionsto support these cultural traditions.
However, the city is not the only gardenthat the flowers of culture could grow and bloom, and is even not the mostsignificant one. To witness the development of cultural traditions, one needlook no further than the wide countryside of modern China, where most ofChinese historical traditions , such as the folk song and the national dresswhich have almost disappeared in cities , are preserved well. On the contrary,since the complete acceptance of the mercantilism, most urban people arecomplaining that the heavy work leave little time for them to enjoy thehappiness of reading , watching dramas and other kinds of cultural life. Inshort , the country is a better place for culture to develop than the city,deserving more government attentions.
In addition, the only time a person canclaim that governments should provide capital to cities for their cultural traditionsis when money is a determinant obstruction to the development of culturalpreserving and generating in cities. Empirical evidence tells us that what isimperative is not money but time.
According to a survey, in China, sales of publications allover the country arise two hundred percents at the Spring Festival in 2009 thanthe average amount in the same year. This example suggests that even thoughpeople have enough places, such as bookstores, museums and theaters, to attain spiritualjoviality, unfortunately they have no time to fulfill this mission. Culturaltraditions hardly survive in such environment.
In sum, the speaker's assertion is flawed.National cultural traditions can be well preserved and generated in thecountryside, and merely subsist in the major cities, in that providing uselesscapital to the city doesn’t help to preserve and generate the our cultural traditions. |
