Cultural Relics of the Qing Dynasty
After the Qing army entered the pass, many things happened to the cultural relics. First of all, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty had accumulated a large number of cultural relics. For example, Emperor Qianlong was keen on collecting treasures, using imperial edicts to make collectors pay tribute or symbolic money to "purchase" and other means. A large number of treasures were collected in the Forbidden City. The origins of these cultural relics were complicated. Some of them were plundered from the people, and a considerable number of them were famous, highly regarded, and "prominent" treasures that were presented to the royal family. Secondly, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, cultural relics faced the problem of loss. After the Revolution of 1911, because the "Preferential Conditions for the Qing Dynasty" did not clearly define the boundaries between "public property" and "private property", the royal family of the Qing Dynasty regarded many items in the palace as "private property of the royal family". After the last emperor, Pu Yi, abdicated, the members of the royal family and the officials stole and resold the collection of the Forbidden City. Although more than 110,000 cultural relics were transported from Rehe Palace and Shengjing Palace to Beijing's Antiquities Exhibition Center in 1913 - 1914, the acquisition of cultural relics soon stopped due to the lack of financial resources of the Republic of China government. Moreover, the Imperial Palace in Shenyanghad some unique cultural relics after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass. The Imperial Palace in Shenyang was the imperial palace of the early Qing Dynasty. It displayed the palace relics left behind by the old palace, such as Nurhachi's sword, Huang Taiji's waist knife, and antler chair. Many of them could not be seen in the Imperial Palace in Beijing. In addition, Yuanmingyuan was also an important place to store cultural relics during the Qing Dynasty. During the Daoguang period, the Ministry of Internal Affairs recorded the storage quantity of some treasures in Yuanmingyuan, such as silver, Ruyi, jade inkstone, brush washing, porcelain furnace, bottles, jars, etc., respectively in the palace and Yuanmingyuan. However, Yuanmingyuan was later destroyed by the foreign powers. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Han Dynasty cultural relics
The cultural relics of the Han Dynasty were rich in content and of great significance. In terms of jade ware, the jade wall of the Han Dynasty was an important type of jade ware culture. It sprouted in the middle of the Neolith Age. After a long period of development, the status of jade became more prominent when the jade culture of the Han Dynasty was highly developed. Jade Bi could be divided into four categories and nine types according to its decorative patterns, and its functions could be divided into three categories and eleven types. Its functions included sacrifice, congratulations, betrothal gifts, gifts, contributions, treasures handed down from generation to generation, decorations, funerals, and so on. The Western Han Dynasty generally inherited the jade system of the Qin Dynasty and the Pre-Qin Dynasty and simplified it. The jade used in the ritual system was mainly Bi and Gui. The Eastern Han Dynasty inherited the system of the Western Han Dynasty. The emperor held the Gui Bi to worship heaven and earth, and used the jade Bi to betroth the queen. Judging from the cultural relics of the tombs, the tombs of the Han Dynasty in Hepu were of great significance. Among them, there were cultural relics such as the national treasure copper phoenix lamp, as well as the jade wall and copper warehouse of the Han Dynasty tomb in Huangnigang. The patterns and patterns on these cultural relics all contained specific meanings. For example, the bronze tripod was related to the social status and power of slaves. From some relics of the Han tombs in Hepu, traces of ancient beliefs such as fish and bird worship could be seen. The taotie pattern on the copper shop head also had its own unique meaning. In terms of daily necessities, the modern household style of the Pisces basin had the same style in the Han Dynasty, such as the copper washing of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the copper washing of the descendants of Jun Yi. There were counting tools like ivory, which appeared as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and was still in use in the Han Dynasty. It was used for more than 2000 years until it was replaced by the abacus in the 15th century. There were also fragments of Baqiao paper from the Western Han Dynasty, indicating that people had already begun to use paper as early as the Western Han Dynasty, about two centuries before Cai Lun made paper. In terms of metal craftsmanship, the Western Han gold monster unearthed in Shenmu County, Shaanxi Province, was made of gold and shaped like a collection of various animals. It was speculated to be the top decoration of the Xiongnu crown, representing the highest level of Xiongnu metal craftsmanship at that time. In addition, the stone carving replica of a horse stepping on a Xiongnu in front of Huo Qubing's tomb in Maoling, Shaanxi Province, is the earliest and best-preserved large-scale tomb stone carving art treasure in China, demonstrating Huo Qubing's military exploits. In terms of food culture, it could be seen from the special exhibition of food culture relics of the Han Dynasty in Xuzhou that the food culture of the Han Dynasty was an important part of Chinese traditional culture. The exhibition displayed four parts of cultural relics, such as pottery wells, pottery pig pen models, livestock models, cooking utensils, tableware, wine utensils, and stone portraits of the Han Dynasty, which reflected the social values, etiquette norms, aesthetic concepts, as well as the craftsmanship and life wisdom of the ancients. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
