学生姓名：董勍学校：云南大学教师姓名：吴蓓分数：90.5Let the classics be classicsAs is known to all,classics refer to those which are well-realized,considered to be of a high standard and have stood the test of time.Most things will fade with the time going by,but for the classics.Nonetheless,the epoch is changing so rapidly and the society has made tremendous progress.So whether we should look forward to the future positively and explore the unknown bravely or not?I would like to give my views,as follows.On the one hand,due to the significance and necessity of the classics,deserting them entirely does no good for us.The classics can greatly tell us the experience of the formers and introduce us to understand the lives in a better way.What else,some will help us know cultural background of the dynasties,for instance the Dream of Red Mansions.To put it another way,what we can do is to treasure them and pick up the useful elements for us as much as possible.But all the above does not mean that we can pursue it with a blind eye.That is to say,that relying on it completely instead of paying attention to the reality should be abandoned.On the other hand,there must be some things out-dated in classics that cannot accommodate the new times.For example,the discrimination in favor of sons in The Analects,the foolish filial piety for parents in SiShu and the harsh requirements for women who ought to obey their husbands completely,etc. All those indicates that some dross in classics have prevented us from developing continuously so deserting it will be of wisdom.If we go on sinking in it,we might leave behind the times.To sum up,for the classics,we should treat them properly and neutrally.It is believed that every coin has two sides,apart from the classics.Thus,as good-educated college students,we can manage to absorb the effective parts to a great extent while giving up the side effects,which is wiser for us.。

学生姓名：苗一川学校：北京邮电大学教师姓名：王笑施分数：91.5Let the classics be classicsWhen it comes to the classics, some people hold the opinion that the classics derive from the wise people in the past but we are advancing towards the future. But other people are convinced that we must attach importance to the classics for they have stood the rest of time. We should treat the matter objectively, because every coin has two sides.As China's history shows to us, the classics could promote our virtue. What is more, the classics enhance the relationship of people, which guaranteed the stability of ancient China. However, it restricts people's thought and creativity. People had to obey the ugly, imprisoned principles so that science in China fell behind western country. Simultaneously, people's too observant of conventional standards have leaded to plenty of tragedies, for instance the story of Mistress Xiang Lin.Nowadays,in this impetuous society, we are in urgent need of something to regulate people's behavior. Consequently, the classics make sense. Reading the classics exerts an imperceptible influence to us, cultivating our spirit,making us form the elegant sense of value and philosophy. When we feel depressed and impulsive, enjoying in a classic book could refresh our disturbed mind.As far as I am concerned, living in the society in rapid development, we students must keep competitive and creative. Meanwhile, learning to relax ourselves should also be focused on. Therefore, some of the classic masterpieces become a great choice for us to resist the attack of the impetuous society. We'd better try to think elegantly and live smartly in our daily routine.In a word, people should pay close attentionto improve their quality and class. Only in this way can keep the society operating well.Although there remain some disadvantages and restriction in the classics, nobody could deny that the classics play an important role in our life. Let the classics be classics.。

学生姓名：解晓烨学校：南京大学教师姓名：陈海分数：91Let classics be classicsAs far as I am concerned, I stand by the former firmly, profoundly believing that classics are to be treasured by people from all classes, for they have been tested by the time.To begin with, classics are the fruit of ancient people's wisdom. For example, one of the classic works of Chinese culture-the Analects, is the combination of Confucian and his students' values. Taking "Learning without thinking is labor lost" for example, Confucius tried to convince us that it is the combination of absorbing knowledge and reflecting on what you have learnt that puts you forward.Secondly, classics can guide us on our way to the future. Many virtues and values which are held in esteem in classics are still glorious nowadays. Lu xun's works are always regarded as a mirror of the society at that time, inspiring people to reflect on the sick society. Through molding the figure of AQ, he criticized the society for its cruelty, sparing no efforts to arouse people's sympathy for those in need.Nowadays, when people witness the scene where the elderly fell down in the street, the majority of them choose to be bystanders for fear that they might be cheated out of a large amount of money. Both of them have one thing in common, which is that many citizens turn deaf ears and blind eyes to others' dilemma. Only if we all show sympathy to others' mercy and hold out our hands to help people out of trouble can we make a better world. In a word, through reading classic books, we can avoid repeating the past mistakes and make contributions to the construction of our country.However, that I stand for the former's view doesn't mean I hold the view that we are supposed to live on the classics without making any progress. Never should we escape the responsibility of venturing into the new and unknown things, that is to say, it might be a good choice for us to throw new things into the concepts conveyed by classics. Because today's life is quite different from that of the past, we should act according to the situation instead of merely copying the behavior of our predecessors.Newton once put it as" If I have seen farther than other men, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants".Likewise, classics to us is what cornerstone is to the magnificent building. However, only when we gorge ahead on our own on the basis of predecessors' contributions can we generate new understanding of man and nature. All in all, classics will be classics and we will create new classics.。

学生姓名：钟嘉芯学校：清华大学教师姓名：王柯雯分数：92Let the classics be classicsWhat would it remind you of when "the classics" is referred to? A book, a piece of poem or a traditional lifestyle? Of course, there are many things concerned to the classics.But have you ever thought about the question that what attitude should we hold towards the classics?Virtually, views of this issue vary from person to person.Some people claim that the classics are classics in that they have stood the test of time.Therefore, the significance of the classics is self-evident.Whereas some hold the opinion that the classics are all about past, but we live in a new period, which means our responsibility is to concentrate on the present and future.Reasons put forward by the two sides are all sound and powerful.But only taking my idea into consideration, I would support the former.In the first place, the classics are our ancestors' achievement containing their efforts, which makes them so valuable. Cao Xueqi, for example, wrote Stone Story for 10 years and made 5 times' modifications of it. It's safe to say that Cao devoted his entire life to the story.So as his descendants, shouldn't we study this wonderful work and keep it to our offspring?Another advantage which the classics bring to us is that the classics are often contain much information of the former generation. Still taking Stone Story as an example. Even today, there stand pretty people who love and study this book. And some study results have helped us a lot to understand the social situation and the nobility's life in the late Qing Dynasty.Last but not least, some classics, especially the classics related to science, can direct us not to make unnecessary mistakes. Quite a few ancient emperors in China were interested in alchemy.However, the results are always unbelievable miserableness -- the equipment of alchemy would explode. What is out of everyone's imagination is that that's what gave people inspiration to invent gunpowder. Therefore, to some degrees, if considering the two opposite viewpoints a little deeper, we could find that they are not incompatible, that is, the knowledge of the classics is a valid tool that can help human beings to develop advanced technology in the future.To conclude, the classics are treasures leaving by our ancestors.We, as posterity, should also take it as our duty to pass them off. Just let the classics be the classics!。

First, because of thinking, people differ from apes. The old teach the young how to live a better life, such as using fire and finding a cave.Then people keep accumulating experience and live better and better. Classics are same as the old, human's culture is a process from scratch, and classics are cornerstones of culture development. If we intend to create new inventions to change the world, we have to master knowledge the old have already summed up for us.It's not only a shortcut, but also a key to a new world.Second,there is an old saying, how far you can remember in the past, how far you can predict in the future.Classics are an approach to learn about past.When we read old stories,we are analyzing plots,we may make a conclusion who is the good guy or what we should learn from it.After reading a lot, we may guess the development rules of things. It's time for us to write history.Only do we master the classics, it's possible for us to venture into the unknown. Only do we totally understand the connotation of classics, we can find the direction of generating new understanding of man and nature.What we create will finally become history, it just represents the highest level at our age.Nevertheless it's necessary to inherit them,because each age's classics form the flourishing human civilization.。
