After all, quadrangles have a long history of development. As early as the Western Zhou Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, we had quadrangles, which shows the practicality of quadrangles. Even now, there are still many quadrangles around us.
However, with the development of society, quadrangles occupy a relatively large area, which is really a waste of space for some business districts. It is better to tear them down and create countless benefits. Whether to tear it down or stay, everyone has his own opinion.
In my opinion, some quadrangle buildings have developed since the Han Dynasty. Influenced by the geomantic omen theory, the site selection and layout of quadrangles have certain standardized procedures. Because in our ancient Han dynasty, it can be said that during the Republic of China, most of our buildings were similar to quadrangles, which was a common model of our ordinary houses.
However, today is different from the past. Now the social economy is developed and the population is soaring, especially in a super metropolis like Beijing, it is inevitable that some quadrangles will be kept. However, we can choose some valuable and historic quadrangles to keep, and tear down some unnecessary and dilapidated quadrangles that have little historical value for urban development. It can be said that it is the necessity of the development of historical process.
But some people say, why not tear it all down? This is unacceptable and totally undesirable. This is demolition of cultural relics! It is necessary to keep most of the quadrangles. This is history and cannot be destroyed by future generations at will. This is culture, you can't destroy it like this, forget it!
