When you mention China, you naturally think of it as one of the four ancient civilizations, indeed China has a long history and culture, and in this thousand years of changes in China, the land area has constantly changed, especially in the Yuan Dynasty period, it spanned the three major plates of Asia, Africa and Europe, which shows how brilliant an era our ancestors created in ancient times.

But with such a long period of development, there will also be various problems in history.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, China's land area was about 9.6 million square kilometers, ranking third in the world

Moreover, after the founding of New China, China's territorial sovereignty was stipulated, and at any time, China's territorial sovereignty was inviolable. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, China was constantly at war, so that at that time the Qing government ceded a lot of land to the great powers, although today some land has returned to our hands, but there are still some lands with many controversial issues, such as

Stone tablets with Chinese characters have been found on Russia's Sakhalin Island

What's on it? The Russians also turned to Chinese historians.

Sakhalin Island was one of the largest islands in Chinese history, and the island is very rich in natural resources, excellent geographical location, historical records, Sakhalin Island has been recorded in the Jin Dynasty, in the subsequent dynasties, there are direct or indirect rule

。 However, due to the decline of the Qing government and the fact that Sakhalin Island was far from China, the Tsar and Japanese forces at that time infiltrated, and finally the Tsar occupied Sakhalin Island through a series of means. Since then, Sakhalin Island has never returned to China, which is one of the biggest regrets of modern China. Sadly, after the Tsar occupied Sakhalin Island, he began to erase the traces of the survival of the Chinese people on Sakhalin Island, massacring a large number of local people, and since then, the island has been transferred to Japanese rule.

After several turns, Sakhalin Island was eventually completely controlled by the Soviet Union.

But this does not obscure the fact that Sakhalin Island was once part of China.

In the 1990s, Russia found a stone stele on the island with Chinese characters written on it, so the Russian side at that time asked Chinese experts to interpret it.

On this stele is a couplet, but the couplet is also ironic, because the couplet was written by the Qianlong Emperor himself. Qianlong believed that the emperors of all previous dynasties could not compare to his life span, and Qianlong also thought that the Qing Dynasty he ruled was the best dynasty, there was no one, so he was complacent, so he wrote such a couplet, so what is this couplet?

This couplet is "Seventy Heavenly Sons Ancient Six Emperors, Five Generations of Sun Zeng yu one". After he finished writing this couplet, he also separated the couplet

Engraved

It was sent to the stone tablet and sent to the frontier areas of China

This made the Chinese experts who assisted the Russian side in the interpretation very embarrassed, after all, Sakhalin Island has been divided into The Russian side. In addition, this couplet was also the bold words of the Qianlong Emperor himself, and he did not have any actual great achievements, because the so-called peak period of his rule at that time was only the accumulation of the previous emperors, and since Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty has slowly declined. At that time, after Chinese experts identified the stele, the news was also transmitted back to China at that time, and netizens at that time were talking about it.

In fact, qianlong cannot be blamed for this incident, because China at that time was in the feudal era, and in their thinking they thought that they were emperors and that they were a very powerful figure, unlike our era now, which is a socialist era and pays attention to the equality of everyone. It is estimated that when Qianlong wrote this couplet at that time, he did not expect that Sakhalin Island would become the territory of foreigners, and his descendants would be so unfilial that even the qing Dynasty could not hold on to it, and could only be said to be extremely ironic. Of course

On the other hand, the stele unearthed on Sakhalin Island also confirms that Sakhalin Island was part of China's territory at that time, although Sakhalin Island has now become a territory of Russia.
