The former Yuanmingyuan is a treasure of the royal gardens in the Qing Dynasty and a masterpiece of world garden art. However, it has now become a historical relic, so that we can no longer witness the prosperous scene of that year. However, through historical documents and archaeological discoveries, we can also learn some scenery of Yuanmingyuan that year.
According to historical documents, the Yuanmingyuan was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, and has been continuously expanded and improved by Yongzheng, Qianlong and Jiaqing generations. It has become a royal garden integrating garden art, covering an area of 3.5 square kilometers, and is composed of many gardens of different sizes and different scenery, among which the most famous ones are Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden and Wanchun Garden.
In Yuanmingyuan, there are many amazing scenery. For example, "Dashuifa" is a large fountain group, which is made of marble-carved columns and various sprinkler heads cast in copper. In addition, the "Jiuqu Yellow River Lantern" is a unique lighting building, which consists of nine curved lanterns, each with a picture. When the lantern rotates, the picture will change accordingly, giving people a very beautiful visual enjoyment.
In addition to these magnificent buildings and landscapes, Yuanmingyuan has many natural landscapes and wild animals. For example, there is a scenic spot called "Lion Forest", which is modeled after Suzhou gardens and has beautiful scenery such as rockeries, ponds and pavilions. In addition, there are many wild animals in Yuanmingyuan, such as deer, squirrels and peacocks, which make the whole garden more lively.
I feel deeply sorry and sad about the scenery of Yuanmingyuan in those days. Such a beautiful garden was burned by the British and French allied forces at the end of 19, which became one of the shame of the Chinese nation.
However, we should not forget history, we should learn from it, cherish peace and strive for strength. At the same time, we should also strengthen the research and protection of the history of Yuanmingyuan, so that more people can understand and understand the importance and value of this historical relic.
