In the modern period, China's social turmoil, in just 100 years experienced the Qing government, Beiyang government and other regimes ruled, many precious cultural relics on the mainland were also destroyed during this period, causing irreparable losses. Today we want to introduce you to a batch of precious archives stored in the cabinet of the Forbidden City.
These archives, which detail some historical materials of the Ming and Qing dynasties, also contain some orphan fragments of books from the previous dynasties, have very important historical significance, but the people guarding them at that time did not know how precious these archives were, so they piled them aside haphazardly, and later felt that they occupied the place and even prepared to burn it. But fortunately, at that time, Luo Zhenyu, the counselor of the Qing Dynasty, heard about this matter, and he intuitively felt that these dilapidated archives must not be simple, so he went through them to check, this look did not know, a turn of Luo Zhenyu found out how important these materials were, he urgently requested that these files be handed over to him for processing, after getting consent, Luo Zhenyu sorted these files into 8,000 sacks and sent them to the GuoziJian for preservation.
But in the chaotic world, these fragile archives want to survive intact is simply too difficult, after the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, these 8,000 sacks of archives were under the control of the Beiyang government, these people do not learn any skills, do not cherish these archives at all, look at which things are more precious to take away, the rest is piled up there and become tattered. Later, the Beiyang government had a financial problem, these people set their minds on these files, and they didn't know whether they didn't know the goods or didn't care at all, they actually planned to sell the 8,000 bags of archives as waste paper, the most infuriating thing is that these 150,000 pounds of precious archives are only worth 4,000 yuan in their opinion, just when these precious documents are about to be sold to the paper mill, Luo Zhenyu stood up again.
He exhausted his savings and bought these archives back, but within a few years, Luo Zhenyu's life also had problems, and in desperation, he resold them to the collector Li Shengduo, and in the middle of the way, Li Shengduo also sorted out the archives and gave them to Puyi and other friends. Later, by the time the Institute of History and Linguistics of the National Research Institute bought these archives back, there were only more than 300 bags left, but now, these archives are placed in the Chinese historical archives, which can be regarded as properly kept, and these mutilated archives carry the vicissitudes of a hundred years, as if telling a broken story, which makes people heartbroken. It should be known that Chinese civilization has continued for thousands of years, and the text archives have played an important role in it, they record the stories of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, contain the deepest foundation of the Chinese nation, and are the most precious treasures in China, but now this batch of treasures has been lost because of improper storage, and the losses of this are afraid that billions of dollars cannot be bought back.
