Before reading this article, Xiaobian would like to ask you a question, if someone sincerely borrows something from you, after you lend it to him, his family members have broken your things into pieces two or three times, what should you do? What if this happens between two countries? I believe that after reading this article, you will have the answer in your heart.
One day in March 1974, a Shaanxi farmer drilled a well in the south of the village, the wellhead was just above the southeast corner of the No. 1 pit of the Terracotta Warriors, he dug and dug, found a lot of broken pottery, take a closer look, these potters are some years old, he immediately contacted the local cultural relics department. It turned out that this was the legendary Terracotta Warriors of Qin Shi Huang.
The Terracotta Warriors, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang, was inscribed on unesco's World Heritage List as early as 1987 and is known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World", and in order to see this remarkable historical site for themselves, more than 200 foreign heads of state and government came to China before and after, all of whom were shocked by the scene in front of them.
On November 24, 1983, a very important day for Japan, the 400th anniversary of the founding of Osaka Castle, they wanted to celebrate it, so they sent a request to China, saying that they hoped that China could borrow some of their terracotta exhibits. In fact, at this time, China and Japan had already resumed diplomatic relations, and China had always been known for its peace and friendship, so it agreed to the Japanese request.
After careful consideration by the Chinese side, a military official figurine was selected to lend to them, you know, china only unearthed more than a dozen relatively complete military figurines that year, which shows that china's request for the other side is also sincere, but no one expected that the Japanese side did not protect such an important cultural relic.
On the first day of the exhibition, more than 1 million people came to watch, and more and more people came to watch in the next few days, but no one expected that on the 7th day of the exhibition, a Japanese man hurriedly entered the exhibition hall, took out the tools he had prepared long ago, smashed the glass cover of the exhibition hall, and then pushed it to the Terracotta Warriors in China.
This 1.92-meter-high and 300-kilogram military figurine collapsed violently, even if the on-site staff rushed over quickly, it was too late, the military figurine was seriously damaged and shattered to the ground, according to this situation, it was basically impossible to recover, and everyone at the scene was shocked.
As soon as this happened, the Japanese side quickly arrested the Japanese man and apologized to China at the same time, the Chinese people who learned the news were very angry, everyone was waiting for an official response, and finally China's approach made everyone feel admiration and made the Japanese blush.
The Chinese side said that china's things are Chinese no matter what, even if it is broken and fragmented, it must return to the embrace of the motherland, although this matter is very regrettable, we still accept Japan's apology. China's response has made the world see our great power style, and at the same time began to condemn the Japanese who destroyed the Terracotta Warriors and the Japanese side for policing and precautions.
A similar thing happened in the United States, in December 2017, a young man in the United States saw the terracotta warriors in the museum and was so obsessed with it that he secretly broke the thumb of one of the terracotta warriors and took it home. He became increasingly frightened and volunteered to hand it over to the FBI, where Rohana was charged with theft and the terracotta thumb was returned to the museum.
Although China has expressed its forgiveness and understanding for the countries that borrowed the Terracotta Warriors, at the same time hopes that the people of all countries will respect the priceless treasure of our country for more than 2,000 years, otherwise why talk about lending them something next time? Do they know how difficult it is to repair a terracotta army? What do you think, dear readers?
