The cultural relics of Yuanmingyuan were plundered in an irregular way
On October 6, 1860, the Anglo-French coalition forces invaded Beijing and broke into Yuanmingyuan. They plundered everything in the garden that could be taken away. Those that could not be carried away were carried away by carts or livestock. Those that could not be carried away were destroyed at will. In order to destroy the evidence, on October 18 and 19, more than 3,000 invaders were ordered to set fire to the garden. In 1900, during the invasion of China by the Eight-Power Allied Forces, they once again plundered and destroyed Yuanmingyuan. For example, the red lacquer box was originally a treasure of Yuanmingyuan. In 1860, it was looted and lost overseas after the "burning of Yuanmingyuan". It is now collected in the China Pavilion of the Palace of Fengtainbailu in France. The bronze statue of the twelve zodiac beasts in Yuanmingyuan was originally part of the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of Yuanmingyuan. In 1860, when the Anglo-French allied forces invaded China and burned Yuanmingyuan, the bronze statue of the beast head began to be lost overseas. The 40 maps of Yuanmingyuan were looted by the Anglo-French coalition forces in 1860 and presented to the French emperor, Napoleon III. Many cultural relics, such as the National Library of Paris, were looted in an irregular manner. After a rough calculation, there were as many as 1.5 million cultural relics looted from Yuanmingyuan, ranging from bronze ritual vessels of the pre-Qin Dynasty to famous calligraphy and paintings of various dynasties and generations, as well as rare treasures. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
