Puyi was the emperor of the last feudal dynasty in the history of the mainland, so he has attracted the attention of historians, and his life can be said to be very legendary, he has gone through different eras, served as the highest ruler, and once became a prisoner of the order. Puyi wrote a book about his life, and his dramatic experience has been adapted into film and television works many times and won many awards. When Puyi had just abdicated, he could not accept the fact that he was not the emperor, and there was a regulation in the Republic of China at that time that was specifically to protect the lives of this big family, and there were 4 million taels of silver for them to use every year, but this was far from meeting Puyi's needs. So Puyi "stole" some treasures from the Forbidden City, which belonged to him before he abdicated, and after he was not the emperor, Puyi became a thief in front of these treasures.
In order to have a definite guarantee for his life, in that uneasy era, Puyi made a bold decision. He needed to transport the things out of the palace in case of unforeseen needs in the future. Later, he cooperated with Pu Jie to transport many treasures out of the palace, and it was not long before Puyi became a puppet of Japan and the emperor of Manchukuo in 1932. After the surrender of Japan, Puyi fled in a hurry, and these treasures remained in the small white building in Manchukuo. Puyi's bodyguards also no longer serve him, after seeing Puyi escape, the guards snatched the cultural relics in the small white building and emptied them, just like that, there were many cultural relics lost to the people, including a unique ancient painting.
This unique ancient painting is the "Ten Yong Tu" painted by the famous painter Zhang Xian of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Ten Yong Tu is a landscape painting of the figure, Zhang Xian saw the poems left by his father, and at that time he had a lot of inspiration, which was the original intention of the creation of the "Ten Yong Tu". The painting is 6.5 meters long, and there is also the imperial inscription of Qianlong on it, with the seals of many famous historical figures. This proves that the Ten Arias are very popular and extremely precious in history. What is known is that Zhang Xian's "Ten Yong Tu" is only one, but this painting is from the home of an old farmer.
In 1995, an old man came to an auction company with his family heirloom and wanted to auction the ancient painting, but the company did not have a treasure expert, and the person in charge did not dare to evaluate the price at will, so the old man was sent. The experts of the Cultural Relics Bureau heard about this matter, found the old man, and revealed to the old man the intention to buy ancient paintings, at that time the expert was very sincere, he expressed his willingness to pay 10,000 yuan to buy this painting, the old man refused, the old man insisted that the painting was worth at least 5 million. As soon as the experts of the Cultural Relics Bureau heard it, they felt that the old man was whimsical and crazy about money, so this time they broke up unhappily.
Later, the old man's matter attracted the attention of the person in charge of the Beijing Hanhai Auction Company, and the Beijing Hanhai Auction Company found a treasure expert and came to the old man's home to express his willingness to identify the painting for free. This is a genuine ancient painting of the Northern Song Dynasty, worth far more than 5 million. Later, at the 1995 Hanhai Autumn Auction in Beijing, the painting fell at a price of 18 million, and after adding commissions, it was sold for 19.8 million, and the buyer was the Palace Museum. The Ten Arias went round and round, emerging from the Forbidden City and returning to the Forbidden City.
There are still many cultural relics that have similar encounters with the "Ten Yongtu", although Puyi stole many cultural relics out of the palace, but the loss of a large number of cultural relics in China was not caused by him. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the great powers stole countless treasures from China, and at present, the most Chinese cultural relics are britain, France, Japan, and the United States, and the Louvre museum alone has 12,000 pieces of Chinese porcelain, and the British Museum has more than 30,000 Chinese cultural relics. The loss of cultural relics is inevitable, and the encounter of these cultural relics is also very painful, obviously the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people on the mainland, but it cannot be viewed by the Chinese people.
