what a thought-provokingpicture it is! on the left-handed picture stands a boy with a confusedexpression. dressing up as a dramatic character “sun wukong”, he tells hisfather that many pupils feel bored to perform chinese opera. his fatheranswers him “do you like it? that is enough”
apparently, the picturedoes deliver a crucial connotation that we are expected to place muchemphasis on traditional cultures. to put it more exactly, conventionalcultures are our cherished cultural heritages which represent the wisdom of ourancestors. convincing instances abound in our society. beijing opera reflectsour forefathers’ appreciation of music as well as dance. in addition, anotherfactto bear in mind is that traditional values can serve as a proper guidancefor folks’ behaviors. it is not difficult to witness that respecting the oldand tending the young arewell advocated and promoted by chinese people.
on the whole, given theanalysis mentionedabove, we can draw a reasonable and memorableconclusion that since traditional cultures and customs are crucial to thecultural diversity and prosperity, we are advised to make conscious endeavorsto preserve them for our descendants, lest they should be undermined andweakened by exotic cultures.
