Cultural relics have begun to be a hot topic in China today as the balance between developing the nation and retaining traditional culture must be found. This can be seen in the public’s desire to rebuild places of interest. This can be seen intensively in Beijing as traditional courtyards are removed to make way for large, modern buildings. As people gain more money and are able to move around freely in China, they want to preserve the relics of their cultural past. People now wish to preserve traditional architecture like old city walls instead of knocking them down. Some even wish to rebuild those that have been torn down. The Chinese people are renewing their interests in the folk arts and are dedicating new culture exhibitions in order to educate people on their grand heritage. This is not just a domestic idea. Chinese culture is also spreading abroad as people express an interest in China. Chinese studies abroad have increased a great deal as China becomes more of a growing economic and international player. The interest in Chinese relics abroad is also high because foreigners are coming to appreciate Chinese culture.
