第一遍修改
The author asserts that financial support should be ensured for major cities' prosperity in that a nation's cultural traditions are mainly preserved and generated in cities. As far as I am concerned, I have different opinions on this matter however and I will expand my idea from the following facets.
In the first place, major cities are always the center of a nation's politics, economy or culture, and the representation to give impressions of the whole nation on the foreigners. It is very common that people learn a nation through its major cities first, because major cities have great influence and have much possibility to be propagandized. For instance, when referring to America, New York or Washington is most likely to appear on people's mind; For France, it is Paris; For China, it is Peking or Shanghai; and it is same for other country. Thus, to guarantee the development of major cities is very important, however, the prosperity of minor cities or the rural areas are also quite important. If a nation only emphasizes on large cities, and neglects the other areas, which cover most population of the nation, fortune polarization will come into being and even demolish the stabilization. Since the financial support of a nation is limited, the government should keep a balance between the support to major cities and other areas. On the other hand, after the development of a city has been operated well, it is completely possible that it can thrive depending on itself and does not need the nation support any more.
In the second place, are a nation's cultural traditions always preserved and generated in cities? It depends. Cultural tradition is a widely concept; it can refer to the historic cite or cultural relic, likewise, it can also be customary pattern of thought, action, or behavior. Where the former or the latter locate is not necessary. Take the historic cites as an example. The famous Palace Museum of China, where the emperors of Ming and Qing dynasty dwell and manage the country matters, locates in Peking, the capital of China. However, the world-famous rock caves locate at Dunhuang, a minor or correspondingly behindhand city. Moreover, when referring to the latter kind of culture, such as customs, minor cities or the rural areas are more likely to preserve them in respect that large cities are influenced by globalization dramatically and many customs have disappeared. When you go to megalopolis, you will have a familiar feeling in that you can find lots of high buildings and nosheries such as KFC all around similar to other megalopolises; Whereas, at small villages, you can experience the traditional life style of the nation.
In addition, financial support cannot ensure the preservation of cultural traditions and it needs the whole nation's consciousness. What's more, not all traditions are needed to be reserved; people should distinct essential from draffy. Take augury as an example. In the ancient time, people were used to auguring whether it was auspicious before doing anything or judging whether the constellations of the boy and girl were suitable before marriage. Undoubtedly, these are fetish and should not be inherited any longer.
To sum up, major cities, as well as the other areas, need the nation's financial supports, so the government should make a balance. But whether a city is flourishing or not does not have direct relation to the preservation of cultural traditions. They should be considered separately. |
