The horse head bronze statue was one of the main components of the twelve zodiac fountains outside the Haiyan Hall of the Western Building Building Complex in Changchun Garden of Yuanmingyuan in the Qing Dynasty. In 1860, when the Anglo-French coalition forces invaded Beijing, Yuanmingyuan was looted and burned, and the bronze statue of the horse head was lost overseas. On September 20, 2007, the bronze statue of the horse head appeared at Sotheby's auction and was successfully recovered by Hong Kong patriot Stanley Ho for 69.1 million Hong Kong dollars. In 2009, Mr. Ho decided to donate to the country. On December 1,2020, the State Administration of Cultural Relics and the Beijing City People's Government held the "Yuanmingyuan Horse Head Bronze Statue Transfer Ceremony" at Zhengjue Temple in Yuanmingyuan. The State Administration of Cultural Relics officially transferred the bronze statue of the horse head of Yuanmingyuan to the Yuanmingyuan Management Office in Haidian District of Beijing City for collection, becoming the first important overseas cultural relic to return to Yuanmingyuan. The "Hundred Years Dream Round-Return Exhibition of the Bronze Statue of the Horse Head of Yuanmingyuan" was held at the same time. The return of the horse head ended its hundred years of exile. It was the result of the joint efforts of the State Administration of Cultural Relics and the forces of all walks of life. It also set a new example for the return of cultural relics.

The gold-plated bronze elephant head was excavated from the Imperial River at the site of the Great Palace Gate of the Old Summer Palace. It was a masterpiece of the royal ware of the Qing Dynasty. Its craftsmanship was exquisite, far surpassing the craftsmanship of the twelve zodiacs. The elephant's head had a long and curly nose, long teeth, and big ears. The overall shape was exquisite, the lines were smooth and natural, and the expression was serene and realistic. Although it had been eroded by time, it still shone golden under the light. When the archeological team excavated the cultural relics around the Dagongmen River in 2014, they accidentally found this elephant head wrapped in mud like a mud lump in the mud at the bottom of the river. After sending it to the laboratory and spending half a month cleaning it, its true appearance was revealed. Some scholars pointed out that it represented the highest level of gold gilding in China. Elephants were regarded as noble and auspicious symbols in China culture. The Yuanmingyuan archeological team speculated that the gold-plated elephant head might be part of an object (such as a tripod or furnace). It might be that the elephant head accidentally fell into the river when it was transported away. It had been kept in the Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park since it was excavated and appeared at an exhibition for the first time in 2017. The novel "Gilded Palm" is equally exciting.
