    What precious historical relics are collected in the glorious Old Summer Palace? When it comes to the Old Summer Palace, I think everyone will feel very regretful and sad. As the garden of ten thousand gardens, the Old Summer Palace in Beijing is a well-deserved cultural treasure in China, but it was damaged in the war.

    Although China has more than 5,000 years of splendid culture, but in these 5,000 years, it has also destroyed a lot of cultural treasures, and the Old Summer Palace, as such a famous garden known to modern people, was plundered and burned by foreigners in front of modern people, which is really sad.

    In recent years, the state has also tried its best to recover some of the lost treasures of the Old Summer Palace through all channels, and some entrepreneurs in the private sector have also supported the country through their own efforts. In addition to the famous zodiac animal head, more than 1.5 million treasures of the Old Summer Palace were looted by foreigners. Let me introduce you to a few cultural treasures that are still in circulation, and they are well-deserved national treasures.

    The first to appear is the female Shi Zhentu. It is the famous painter Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty based on the article "Female History" written by Zhang Hua of the Western Jin Dynasty, and the main content of this female history map is to depict the moral norms of court women. In addition to the preciousness of the painting itself, collectors of successive dynasties have also made inscriptions on it, among which Song Huizong inscribed eleven lines of words on it.

    The picture is now in the British Museum.

    Then there are the 40 scenes of the Old Summer Palace. It was made by a court painter during the Qianlong period, and it depicts the famous scenery in the Old Summer Palace, and the preciousness of the painting lies in the fact that it is the work of art that can best reflect the grandeur of the Old Summer Palace. In 1983, the French academic community donated the color base plate of the 40 scenes to the Old Summer Palace, but the 40 scenes are still stored in the National Library of France.

    Other famous ones are the Qianlong Great Parade Armor and the Treasure of Kyushu Qingyan. There are too many treasures in the Old Summer Palace, and there are countless of them, which makes the Chinese people very heartbroken.

    Five bronze animal heads of ox, tiger, monkey, pig and horse have been rescued by patriots in 2000, 2003 and 2007 respectively, and are collected in the Poly Art Museum. It is now known that the head of the rat and the head of the rabbit were donated by the chairman of the French PPR group on April 26, 2013 and sent back to China, and the head of the dragon is in Taiwan and is well preserved.

    The bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace was originally a part of the fountain outside the Haiyan bench in the Old Summer Palace, and it was a red bronze statue in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The south shore is Zi Rat, Yin Hu, Chen Long, Wu Ma, Shen Monkey, and Xu Dog; On the north shore, they are the ugly cow, the rabbit, the snake, the sheep, the rooster, and the pig.

    1. Bronze statue of the monkey's head.

    The Shen monkey of the Chinese zodiac, a national treasure-level cultural relic, was originally placed in front of the Haiyan Hall of the Old Summer Palace one of the 12 bronze statues of the zodiac. Due to the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, it was purchased back by China Poly Group Corporation and is now in the collection of Beijing Poly Art Museum. It has extremely high historical value.

    In 1860, after the "burning of the Old Summer Palace", it was plundered and lost overseas, and was later purchased by China Poly Group Corporation, and is now in the collection of Beijing Poly Art Museum.

    2. Seal of the Old Summer Palace.

    Xue Fucheng, a diplomat at the end of the Qing Dynasty, recorded in his "Diary of an Envoy to Britain, France, Italy and Belgium" that in the sixteenth year of Guangxu (1890 AD), he found in the Chinese exhibition room of the Oriental Museum in Paris that "there are two jade seals of the Old Summer Palace. One said:

    Baohe Taihe', green jade square seal, slightly larger;One is called 'Old Summer Palace Seal', the white jade square seal, slightly smaller". In 1904 (the thirtieth year of Guangxu), Kang Youwei traveled to Paris, and saw the treasures of China's inner government and jade seals in the Strange Rules Museum, and thought that they were cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace.

    3. Forty scenes.

    The 40 views of the Old Summer Palace refer to the 40 garden scenery groups with unique patterns in the garden. A view is a "round garden" or garden complex.

    In the first month of the first year of Qianlong (1736), Hongli passed the decree to the painter Leng Mei of the Ruyi Museum: according to the 36 scenes of the summer resort drawn by the Kangxi Dynasty, the draft of the "palace premises" of the Old Summer Palace was divided into scenes. Soon after, Tang Dai and Shen Yuan were ordered to paint.

    Shen Yuan painted the house, and Tang Dai painted the earth, mountains, trees and stones. Later, Zhou Kun and others also participated in the drawing of this set of "Yuanmingyuan Album".

    4. Female history proverbial map.

    The Female History of Zhen is a silk painting created by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China. The original work has been lost, there are copies of the Tang Dynasty, the original 12 paragraphs, because of the age, only 9 paragraphs remain, for the silk color book, now in the British Museum.

    The work depicts the deeds of female fans, including the story of Feng Da in the Han Dynasty and letting Yuan Yuan defend himself against bears and protect Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty; There are stories of Ban Jieyu refusing to be with Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty, in case Emperor Cheng was greedy for women and mistook the government. The rest of the paragraphs are all about the moral sentiments that upper-class women should have, with a certain didactic nature.

    5. Panorama of the Old Summer Palace.

    Forty Views of the Old Summer Palace was drawn by Qing Dynasty court painters Shen Yuan and Tang Dai, and inscribed by Qianlong.

    In 1860, when the British and French forces burned down the five gardens and three mountains in western Beijing, they plundered these forty paintings. It is now in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Paris, France. Since the British and French forces invaded Beijing in 1860 and burned the Old Summer Palace, not only the Chinese garden, which can be called the "treasure house of oriental culture and art", was burned, but a large number of treasures and cultural relics were also taken away by the British and French forces (including these 40 sets of 80 panoramas of the Old Summer Palace painted during the Qianlong period), and have refused to return to China.
