I would be automatically on board on a plan that restore it to its original form. That's what's called "repair the old to be like old" (修旧如旧 in Chinese), one core principle of most antique repair/maintenance projects.
- Trombone12 5y agoHow far back is the "original"? Is it to the state before the 1840's restoration?

I can assure you that if they restored to its true original form people would be far more pissed about that than any possible "modern" design.
