China has a civilization of 5,000 years, and many valuable legacies have survived in this 5,000-year history, and after the baptism of time, the changes of years have made them have extraordinary value.
We can often see the excavated artifacts in museums, remembering the unique imprints and stories of that era, although most of the cultural relics eventually belong to the state, but many celebrities will also privately collect some antique calligraphy and paintings.
For rich people, money is not omnipotent, antique calligraphy and painting can show their own wealth at the same time, but also improve their status and literary literacy, so everyone likes to put some treasures at home.
China is a country with many disasters and difficulties, in the course of history, it has suffered all kinds of hardships, China, which has experienced many wars, has lost too many treasures of its own, and has left many cultural relics overseas through various means, although many patriots have been committed to finding cultural relics belonging to China for many years, but this road is very long and arduous, and it requires the joint efforts of all people to reach a final consensus.
The Qing Dynasty, as the last dynasty of China's feudal society, left many rare treasures, but not all of the people who believed that the descendants of the royal family had a patriotic heart. In the face of today's modern society, they still adhere to some of the ideas of their ancestors, so they are not as smart as others in their ideological awareness.
There is such a Descendant of the Manchus called
Ongwango
He is the fifth grandson of Weng Tongsu, and although he has a wealth of thousands of families, his enthusiasm for patriotism is not high. It is said that there are many treasures in his family, and there are also many calligraphy and paintings in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is said that his ancestors were important officials in the imperial court, so his family treasured many calligraphy and paintings, which were left to his descendants as a legacy, so he inherited this huge family business and treasures after he became an adult.
Born in Shanghai, he was originally an aspiring young man, he believed that the development of the social situation at that time was bound to derive a series of revolutions, if you do not work hard, it is easy to be left behind by Western society, he strives to learn advanced science and technology from Western countries, once went to the United States to study he chose the road of industry to save the country, hoping to create a world through his own hands, to create a career of his own.
However, this path changed after he graduated, and after graduation, he did not engage in his own mechanical and electrical related majors, but picked up a paintbrush and became a painter. He put all his hobbies on painting, and since then as an artist, he has talked more about his yearning for literature.
Because he has many cultural games handed down from the Qing Dynasty, the government wants to recall this batch of national treasures, because this belongs to the private items in his personal home, the two parties finally reached a sale agreement after consultation, and the sale of the sky-high price of the treasure was affirmed by the industry after returning to the motherland.
I thought that this matter ended perfectly, but in 2018, he announced at his centenary birthday that he would donate most of his works to the Boston Museum, why he would donate 183 Chinese cultural relics in the United States free of charge, but made a sky-high price for the motherland, which made many domestic patriots very confused, and there were many doubts, and even many media directly visited this matter, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from the other party.
Although he did not respond positively to why he chose to buy and sell his works to China, he left more treasures to Boston, but his heart has been inclined to the United States, and he has made his position clear with his own practical actions, which is also a point that he has been criticized by others.
When looking at this matter as an outsider, we should rationally evaluate this person, after all, the environment in which he grew up and the later growth experience may lead to this person's ability to judge things, we should not judge the right and wrong of others, because no matter what is done, it is his right, and no matter how these works that have been tempered for thousands of years can be properly preserved, it is the best reward for mankind.
These works of art, although they can't speak, they are lifeless but they communicate with humans in a different way, so that everyone who watches it feels the charm of it, no matter where it is, we can know its safety, it is enough.
