【正确答案】正确答案： There has been an old maxim Cultivate the mind, and then regulate the family, state and world" since ancient China. Regulating the family refers to getting married and starting one's career. However, getting married cannot come true without a house. Therefore, it is deeply rooted in Chinese people's mind that house is an important symbol of home and gives them a sense of belonging. The importance attached to house makes it both a symbol of living environment and a symbol of individual status. The deeply rooted traditional concept and the strong sense of belonging attract many loyal and persistent people in the city to join the group which struggles to buy a house. You could say that the soaring price of houses in China is closely related to Chinese people's idea about house.
