Without these relics, we couldn’t cherish（珍视）cultural traditions as much or appreciate the lives of the people who practiced those traditions. Although we may not often consider it, cultural relics are not only the possession of one culture. In a large sense（从广义上来说），it can be said that they belong to all peoples. For these reasons, this unit describes cultural relics not from China but other places. Looking at it from another angle(角度), it can also be said that cultural relics preserves （保存）some aspect of cultural heritage（遗产）and each relic, regardless of （不管）whether the same hands created many examples of it, is still a unique cultural expression and contribution.
