Resolutely oppose it, this is shameful history, and let future generations know this history. ...
No, the value of Yuanmingyuan no longer lies in its superb beauty, but in its vastness and greatness. Every grass, brick and stone in Yuanmingyuan is engraved with heaviness and sadness.
First, the existing Yuanmingyuan site is an eternal commemoration of national humiliation and a living teaching material for patriotic education from generation to generation. Its restoration will make the educational value of historical relics disappear.
Second, the main value of Yuanmingyuan is no longer the splendor of China's palace buildings or royal gardens a hundred years ago, but the humiliation left by the invaders after burning, and the ruins now have real cultural value.
Third, restoration is a complete destruction of historical relics, which is contrary to the current national cultural relics protection law.
Fourth, the restoration of Yuanmingyuan can not reach the original level in terms of building quality and scale. Only one new artificial landscape can be added at most, which will become neither fish nor fowl.
Should not be rebuilt.
Because as the saying goes, "forgetting history is treason", and no one knows what the former Yuanmingyuan was like, and it just finished hosting the Olympic Games and spent a lot of money. If the Yuanmingyuan is rebuilt, it will waste a lot of money, and it can't be made like before. There must be a big gap in raw materials and workmanship.
Yuanmingyuan should not be rebuilt. It is more educational to keep the site of Yuanmingyuan. Reconstruction is just a waste of people and money. Many "ancient buildings" rebuilt in various places are far from the original buildings. The money for reconstruction is not as good as protecting cultural relics.
