　　	 	　	The classics should be treasured by people absolutely, but it doesn’t mean we cannot try our best to explore the unknown	　	world. So, from my point of view, I think we should treat the classics dialectically,we should not only stick to the thoughts and spirits from the classics with practical significance, but we also should venture into the unknown bravely to enrich our knowledge of the world and nature.	　	On one hand, the classics are to be treasured by people of all generations, ours being no exception. Just as what someone said, it is their values that make them to be the classics. So there must be something very pervasive to our world from that time to today. For example, there are four ancient classics in Chinese literature, which is called ＂four classic＂。 We read and evaluate and reflect on it for many years, but the more frequently we gaze at it, we have more sober recognition of the great literary and artistic value of it. So even when we now have infinite faith in atheism, we still like reading ＂Journey to the West＂.	　	On the other hand, as we are advancing towards the future, it is our responsibility to venture into the unknown and generate new understanding of man and nature. We should continually develop the science and technology to improve the production efficiency and productivity, enhancing the ability to move into the unknown. We should also know that today we still have many problems during our development process. The best way to solve these problems is to explore the unknown and improve the ability to solve difficulties. But when we moving ahead, we should	　	not abandon all the good and beneficial thoughts and spirits from the classics, on the contrary, we should draw strength from the classics to ensure a smooth and steady and secure road to the future.	　	On the conclusion, we should treat the classics dialectically, we should not only stick to the thoughts and spirits from the classics with practical significance, but we also should venture into the unknown bravely to enrich our knowledge of the world and nature.
