参考译文:
There has been an old maxim“Cultivate the mind,and then regulate the femily, state and world”sinceancient China.Regulating the family refers to gettingmarried and starting one's career.However, gettingmarried cannot come true without ahouse.Therefore,it is deeply rooted in Chinese people's mind that house is an important signalof home and gives them a sense of belonging.The importance attached to house makes houseboth a symbol of living environment and a symbol of individual status.The deeply rootedtraditional concept and strong sense of belonging attract many loyal and persistent people inthe city to join the group which struggles to buy a house.You could say the soaring price ofhouse in China is closely related to Chinese people's idea about house.
