Hugo's evaluation of the Old Summer Palace:

In one corner of the earth, there is a magical world, and this world is called the Summer Palace. The foundation of art was laid by two factors, namely, the rationality that produced European art and the imagination that produced Eastern art. In the art of imagination, the summer palace is the Parthenon in the art of reason.

Everything that could be created by the imagination of the people, almost magical, is embodied in the summer palace. The Parthenon is a rare and unique creation in the world, but the summer palace is a huge model of imagination, and it is only possible to create such a model according to imagination.

Just imagine that it is a fascinating building, like the castle of the Moon Palace. The Summer Palace is one such building. You can create your imagination with marble, jade, bronze and ceramics; You can use the cloud pine as its building material; You can take the most precious treasure imaginable and decorate it with magnificent silk.

Answer: The Old Summer Palace embodies the essence of ancient Chinese gardening art and is one of the most outstanding large-scale gardens at that time. Emperor Qianlong said that it was: "The area of the real heaven and the earth and the spirit, the place where the emperor travels, there is no way to surpass this."

Moreover, it also occupies an important position in the history of garden architecture in the world. Its fame spread to Europe and was known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". The great French writer Victor Hugo had this assessment in 1861:

You just have to imagine that it is a fascinating, castle-like building like the Moon Palace, and the Summer Palace (referring to the Old Summer Palace) is such a building. "It is often said that Greece has the Parthenon, Egypt has the pyramids, Rome has the Colosseum, and the East has a summer palace.

It is a breathtaking, unparalleled masterpiece. [2] [3]

In November 1861, in an open letter to Captain Chabutler, who was then serving in the French army, Hugo began by lamenting the incomparable cultural wonder of the Old Summer Palace: "In a corner of the earth, there is a magical world. This world is called the Summer Palace (i.e., the Old Summer Palace), and you just have to imagine that it is a fascinating, like the Moon Palace Castle.

It is a breathtaking, unparalleled masterpiece. "The Old Summer Palace is indeed the largest and most magnificent palace garden building in the world. This royal garden, which is about 10 kilometers around and covers an area of more than 5,000 acres, has both oriental-style courtyards and western-style buildings. The flat Tingyu Island, the winding paths, the sparkling waves, the gurgling water, the gushing waterfalls, plus the garden flowers and plants, the pavilions and palaces, decorate the "Xianshan Qiongge", "Qionglou Yuyu", "Mirage", "Peach Blossom Spring", "Xinghua Village" and so on.

There was also a chaplain in England, Macacs, who was amazed when he saw this fairyland: "There must be a genius who is a poet, a painter, and an aesthete to write the landscape ...... the garden."Hugo went on to praise it: "Even if all the physical objects of Notre-Dame de l'Armare in our country (France) are taken together, they cannot be compared with this grand Oriental museum."

Almost everything that can be imagined and created by the amazing people is perfectly embodied in the body of the summer palace......At this, Hugo angrily rebuked: "This amazing wonder of the world is now gone!" One day, two robbers broke into the summer palace, one plundered, the other set fire to it, and an unprecedented ransack of the summer palace began.

One of the two robbers filled his pocket, the other stuffed his chest. Then, arm in arm, swaggering and laughing, they returned to Europe. This is the history of these two robbers, these two robbers:

One is called France and the other is England. This is the voice of the French people, and it is the common voice of the righteous people of the world. As Hugo said:

The crimes committed by the aggressor are irrelevant to the people at large; The aggressor is a robber, and the people are never. I long for the day when France will be freed from its burdens, cleansed from its sins, and returned these ill-gotten treasures to its owner, the plundered China. It is respectable that Hugo showed such great indignation and deep sympathy for the banditry of his homeland (France), the aggression that caused the suffering of the people of that country.

Hugo commented that the Old Summer Palace is a wonder of the world, a model of a certain scale of fantasy, the crystallization of generations, and the silhouette of Asian civilization.

There is a place in the east of the world, a place like a fairyland, but one day, two people came there hand in hand, one grabbed money, the other set fire, the fire for three days and three nights, burned it to the ground, and then returned to the West hand in hand, we Westerners think we are civilized people, but this is the way civilized people do to barbarians, I know that you value my opinion very much, and hope that I will praise you, and the above is my praise Hugo.

In a certain corner of the world, there is a world miracle, and this miracle is called the Old Summer Palace.

Somewhere on Earth, there was once a wonder of the world, and its name was the Old Summer Palace. It brings together the entire work of a people's almost superhuman imagination. It is a stunning, not yet well-known masterpiece, like the ...... of Asian civilization seen from the horizon of European civilization at dusk

You can imagine a fairyland-like building that you can't describe in words, and that's the Old Summer Palace. There are not only artistic treasures, but also countless gold and silver treasures......

This miracle is no longer there. One day, two robbers walked into the Old Summer Palace. Together, the two victors completely destroyed the Old Summer Palace.

All the treasures of all our churches combined are not as good as this magical and glorious Oriental museum. What a great feat! What a windfall!

In the face of history, these two robbers were called the ...... of France and England respectively

From "Letter to Captain Butler on the Anglo-French Expedition to China".

1.It is the highest achievement of oriental fantasy art 2, and almost all that can be produced by the imagination of a superhuman people. 3. It is a model of a certain huge scale of fantasy.

Somewhere in the world, there is a wonder of the world. This miracle is called the Old Summer Palace. There are two ** in art, one is the ideal, the ideal produces European art; The first is fantasy, which gives rise to oriental art.

The Old Summer Palace is in fantasy art what the Parthenon is in ideal art. This is all that the imagination of an almost superhuman nation can produce. Unlike the Parthenon, this is not a rare, one-of-a-kind piece; This is a kind of enormous model of fantasy, if fantasy can have a model at all.

Imagine a building that words can't describe, something like a moon palace, and this is the Old Summer Palace. Please build a dream with marble, jade, bronze, porcelain, make its roof truss with cedar, decorate it with precious stones, drape it with satin, build a temple here, build a harem there, build a city tower, put a god statue in it, put a strange beast, decorate it with glass, decorate it with enamel, decorate it with **, apply grease powder, ask the architect who is also a poet to build a thousand and one dreams of a thousand and one nights, and add gardens, a square pool, a fountain at a glance, plus flocks of swans, ibises and peacocks, in short, Suppose that some kind of dazzling cave that humans fantasize about, which looks like a temple and a palace, is actually a unique miracle in the world, and that is this famous garden. In order to create the Old Summer Palace, it took two generations of long-term labor.

This city-sized building is the result of generations. Built for? For the sake of all peoples.

Because, everything created by the years belongs to human beings. Artists, poets, and philosophers of the past all knew about the Old Summer Palace; Voltaire talked about the Old Summer Palace. It is often said that:

Greece has the Parthenon, Egypt has the pyramids, Rome has the Colosseum, Paris has Notre-Dame, and the East has the Old Summer Palace. If you say, you haven't seen it, but you have dreamed of it. It's some kind of shocking and unknown masterpiece, faintly visible in the indescribable morning light.

The silhouette of Asian civilization glimpsed like a glimpse on the horizon of European civilization.

Somewhere on Earth, there was once a wonder of the world, and its name was the Old Summer Palace.

Hugo spoke highly of the Old Summer Palace. It expresses his reverence and longing for the fantasy oriental art represented by the Old Summer Palace. It is a foreshadowing of his regret over the destruction of the Old Summer Palace below. Set off the author's anger at the actions of England and France.

In my eyes, although Hugo is not Chinese, but he wants every country to have its own world-famous building, the Old Summer Palace, it as the essence of Chinese architectural art, the treasure of Chinese civilization and art, many people have compared China's Old Summer Palace with the Louvre in France, and the pyramids in Egypt, which shows that the Old Summer Palace is unique in the world and cannot be replaced.
