The last years of the Qing Dynasty were a period of time that we did not want to mention. The country's corrupt rulers were incompetent at the time. In the face of the invasion of the Western powers, they had no choice but to step back and sign various unfair treaties. To be backward is to be beaten, and the modern history of our country is full of suffering and tears. When the Anglo-French army invaded Beijing, the Xianfeng Emperor immediately fled with the nobles, leading to the complete fall of the Forbidden City. The Yuanmingyuan was looted by the British and French forces for three days and three nights, and later burned to the ground.
I think the Old Summer Palace is the deepest pain in every Chinese's heart. This royal garden was built during the Kangxi dynasty of the Qing Dynasty and cost hundreds of millions of taels of silver. In addition to this, there are countless rare treasures and rare birds and animals in the garden. At that time, the most famous craftsmen were gathered to build the beautiful Yuanmingyuan, collecting all the most beautiful and characteristic buildings in the country. However, at that time, the people did not have the right to see the Yuanmingyuan, so there were very few records in books. But a photo taken by a British journalist was exposed.
The Old Summer Palace was once the most beautiful garden in the world. Its destruction is not only a loss to our country, but also a great regret for world civilization. When the Anglo-French forces first arrived at the Old Summer Palace, they were stunned by the beautiful scenery and magnificent scenery in front of them. The loot of the Yuanmingyuan alone dragged away dozens of trains. Most of the national treasures in the garden are still lost overseas. Whenever we think about it, we are very angry, and we can no longer see its beauty with our own eyes.
Before the Anglo-French coalition burned down the Yuanmingyuan, some army reporters took pictures of the Yuanmingyuan, but these films were burned by the Anglo-French forces. Because they wanted to destroy their evidence, the photos of the Old Summer Palace have now been recovered through 3D technology. Although it allows us to know the beauty of the past, it is quite a pity that it has not been passed down. Now the Old Summer Palace is protected. Tourists can go inside and visit, but it is already a ruin, which can be said to be quite a pity. Please leave your opinion in the comments section and click on a follow without getting lost!
