Title: "Governments must ensure that their major cities receive the financal support they need in order to thrive, because it is primarily in cities that a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated."
Undoubtedly, government should support their major cities receive necessary finance in order to thrive, but not just because a nation's cultural traditions are preserved and generated in cities. Cultural traditions are not only generated in cities, what's more, they are even dimished there they have many forms and live in various fields. So the claim cannot hold up as it does.
Admittedly, some cities generated and also have developed many cultural traditions. Everybody knows the famous city, Beijing, the captital of China, is a city where exists many cultural heritages. The well-known architecture--Great World Wall, registers the history of the past and reflects the spirit of hardworking andtough of Chinese. "不蹬长城非好汉", it will never out of time, since everybody who has crimbed the Great World Wall, has the sense of success, confidence, and the excitement of looking all the things in eyes. Additionally, the Imperial Palace,颐和园,北海,etc, they are all nice heritages and reflect the skill of Chinese. Mayjor cities where many cultural heritages are reposed on, like Beijing, undoubtly, should be supported on finance to help them thrive.
However, not all the major cities are generated cultural traditions, so it will be not reasonal to support them, to the opposite, they just thrive well without financal support from goverment. ShangHai, also a major city in China, is just a good emample. It is a contemporary city and has no cultural architects , the cultural there trends to 多元化,since many foreigners have moved to live there and also bring their culture there, as a result, the culture there is not traditional, in other words, no cultural traditions exist there. What's more, the city developed well based on the transpotation to outside which has greatly help developed its commerce. Goverment does not support finance to Shanghai, and it just does not need. Even it needs, it is just based on the development of the commerce of Shanghai, rather than the preseving the cultural traditions.
Most cultural traditions are not only generated in major cities, they live in many forms, so they exist in many ways of which, I think, the (cultural spirits and skills) are the most important values. When it refers to Chinese, many foreigner, will mention Li Xiao Long, and highly phraise his 功夫, further, they will talk about 中国工夫. Surely, 中国工夫 is one of the most valuable cultural traditions and has been developed very long, from Zhangshanfeng in the past to Chenglong, Lilianjie today. The spirits of a 习武之人 contain 坚韧,tough,brave, etc, and those can also teach everybody. Those cultural traditions not exist in any city, but they are generated in Chinese persons and pass down to Chinese persons. So in order to preserve cultural traditions, goverment should support some finance to them to develop these cultural traditions.
As analyzed in the above, we can easily seen that, first, cultural traditions are not primarily preserved and generated in cities, otherwise, most of them are preserved and generated in people, and the spirits of those people. To make sure a nation's cultural traditions be well preserved and generated, government should give finance to support everything that contains cultural traditions. In order to ensure major cities thrive well, goverment should give finance to them, not just considering of the aspects in cultural traditions, but some others, like development in commerce, industry, etc. |
