So far China has a history of 5,000 years, in a long time, China's old ancestors have left countless rare treasures to future generations, and now some of these treasures are displayed in Chinese museums, and some have flowed abroad and become treasures of other countries. Of course, those who have studied history know that these treasures were taken captive by the great powers.
For example, the three treasures we want to talk about today are like this, they are the Golden Seal of the King of Han Weinu, the Bodhisattva Birth Sutra, and the Changing Heavenly Eye Tea Bowl, which were originally Chinese treasures, and now they have spread to Japan and become Japan's national treasures, which is really heart-wrenching. Each of the three national treasures scattered in Japan is a divine artifact, and there is little chance of return.
First, let's talk about the Golden Seal of the Han Dynasty King. This was originally a seal given to the Japanese state at that time by Liu Xiu, the Emperor of Han Guangwu, which was powerful and small surrounding countries came to worship the Han Dynasty, including Fuso (now the Japanese state). Becoming a vassal state of the Han Dynasty also had to have a symbol of power, so Liu Xiu gave this gold seal to the vassal state of Fusang at that time, which represented the legitimacy of Japan. Although this seal was given to Japan, it is a solid Chinese cultural relic, and the characters engraved on it are also Chinese characters. It is a pity that he has now moved to Japan and never have the opportunity to return home.
Another is the Bodhisattva Sutra. It is said that this is a Buddhist scripture copied by the monks in the Western Wei Dynasty, which was originally preserved in chinese monasteries, but after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Japanese invaders found this precious scripture when they swept through a monastery, so they forcibly brought the scriptures back to Japan despite the objections of the Chinese monks. Now this book is placed in Japan's Duchien-in Temple, where the Japanese regard it as a rare treasure, and Chinese have to pay for an entrance fee if they want to see it.
The third is the Yaochang Tianmu Tea Bowl, which is said to have been fired by a famous skilled craftsman who took several days and nights to burn under the orders of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Originally, this tea bowl was used by the emperor, and it was passed down to the Ming Dynasty by Japanese merchants who used illegal means to deceive it, so the Yao changing Tianmu tea bowl was left in Japan, and what was even more shameless was that the Japanese actually claimed that this tea bowl was their own country.
Seeing this, there must be countless Chinese deeply regretted that these national treasures are sacred, they once belonged to China, but now they are exiled to Japan, and there is almost no possibility of return, which is heart-wrenching. Why are so many treasures that originally belonged to China left abroad one by one? In recent years, we have seen a lot of reports of similar things, just imagine if our country was strong, then could we protect these treasures left by our ancestors?
