35、w, there are a large number of cultural relics in our homeland. They show us the wisdom of our ancestors and we feel proud of being Chinese. There is no doubt that they are our treasures.Cultural relics can help us get a better understanding of Chinese history and culture. Whats more, they can not be reproduced. So we should make every effort to protect them.In my opinion, all the cultural relics belong to the whole nation rather than just one person or a certain group. It is against the law to sell or buy cultural relics. Measures must be taken to prevent such things from happening again.
