Conversely, a contemporary antique no matter how striking resemblance it is, but its intrinsic historical sense is also zero and its cultural connotations will certainly not reach the same height and monuments like the genuine. The true meaning and value of ancient buildings is to record history, show culture, and contain spirit. Protecting historical and cultural heritage is a necessary of city's modernization.
