Since the Cultural Assets Preservation Law was passed in 1982, those responsible for listed buildings have often shown little enthusiasm for the law. Some have protested when their buildings were listed; others have moved to tear down a building before it got listed.
自從民國七十一年「文化資產保存法」訂定以來，常常是「落花有意，流水無情」，被指定為古蹟的古宅或廟宇要不是上演「抗爭記」，要不趁著未被列為古蹟時趕緊先動手拆除。
