How many treasures in Yuanmingyuan, the royal treasure house, were taken away by invaders? The destruction of Yuanmingyuan has caused immeasurable losses to China. 1709, Emperor Kangxi gave his fourth son, Yin Zhen, a garden one mile north of Changchun Garden in the northern suburb of Beijing, and inscribed Yuanmingyuan. Yuanming Three Gardens covers an area of more than 5,200 mu, with more than 50 scenic spots/kloc-0. Among them, the most famous ones are Guangming Hall in Zheng Da, Anyou Palace for ancestor worship, high-rise buildings with high water in feast mountains, Pengdao Yaotai simulating pavilions on Fairy Mountain, and Wuling Spring Scenery in Peach Blossom Garden. Some famous gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, such as the Lion Forest in Suzhou and the Ten Scenes of the West Lake in Hangzhou, are also imitations. Changchun Garden also has a group of European-style buildings, commonly known as the West Building.

In a narrow sense, burning Yuanmingyuan refers to burning Yuanmingyuan. Broadly speaking, the scope of burning is not just a Yuanmingyuan, but three royal mountains and five gardens in the west of Beijing, namely Wanshou Mountain, Yuquan Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, Qingyi Garden, Yuanmingyuan Garden, Changchun Garden, Jingming Garden and Jingyi Garden. The range and degree of burning is far greater than that of Yuanmingyuan. When it comes to the loss caused to China by the destruction of Yuanmingyuan, it is much more. First of all, the burning of Yuanmingyuan itself is the biggest loss.

There are more than 100 gardens and scenic buildings in Yuanming Three Gardens, which are usually called Hundred Scenery. It integrates all kinds of garden buildings such as temples, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions and corridors, which is 6.5438 million square meters more than the total construction area of the Forbidden City. Wang Zhicheng, a French missionary, once gave an image description of this. He said: there are many changes in the form of the buildings in Yuanmingyuan, which are uneven and have no stereotypes. Each of its small palaces seems to be made according to a strange model, which seems to be randomly arranged, and none of them is the same as the others.

Secondly, according to rough statistics, the number of looted cultural relics in Yuanmingyuan is about 6.5438+0.5 million, ranging from bronze ritual vessels in the pre-Qin period to famous paintings and calligraphy in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and various rare treasures. According to the historical records of the Qing Dynasty, only 4,465,438 European clocks and watches were exhibited and stored in Yuanmingyuan at that time, and only one big clock was spared. Afterwards, some lost objects robbed by bandits and abandoned by the invading army reached 1 197, which was at best one thousandth of the objects in the park. In fact, a large part of the goods robbed and destroyed by the British and French invaders are priceless. This heinous crime of destroying human culture is really outrageous!
