preface
Speaking of China's modern history, it really makes people cry, in the face of the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, the Chinese people did not listen to being in the depths of the water. After landing in China, foreign invaders wantonly plundered China's precious treasures, especially the period when the Anglo-French coalition army burned the Yuanmingyuan, which was a period of humiliation and scars that the Chinese people would never forget.
The Yuanmingyuan is a royal garden, the Qing Emperor hid all the rare treasures in the world in the Yuanmingyuan, and it is also a summer resort, every summer the Qing Emperor will come here to escape the summer. After the British and French allies came here, they killed and looted, and in the face of the treasures that could not be taken away, they wantonly destroyed them, and finally burned the entire Yuanmingyuan with a raging fire. Nowadays, many rare and exotic treasures in the Yuanmingyuan are scattered outside, and we have no idea where the whereabouts of the treasures are at this time, especially the 12 beast heads, which are the treasures that the mainland wants to recover the most so far. Although seven have been recovered today, five are still missing, which makes us very concerned.
The "Dragon Head" of the Yuanmingyuan was discovered
The 12 bronze statues of beasts are based on the animals in the 12 zodiac signs, each of which is very delicate, and these 12 bronze statues of beasts have a very unique meaning in our hearts. Today, the seven beast heads have returned to the embrace of the motherland, they are the head of the rat, the head of the ox, the head of the tiger, the head of the rabbit, the head of the horse, the head of the monkey and the head of the pig, and the 12 animal heads that have not yet returned to the embrace of the motherland are the heads of snakes, chickens, dogs, sheep and dragons. In 18 years, according to valid sources, the dragon head may have returned to China. This incident has aroused great concern among the Chinese, because the Chinese people are the descendants of the dragon, so it is a very gratifying thing that the dragon head can return to the motherland, and it is a major event worthy of the cheers of the people of the whole country.
The dragon head was bought by the Chinese at a sky-high price
It is understood that the dragon head was bought by a Chinese at a high price, and this treasure finally returned to the hands of Chinese people, rather than falling into other places. According to expert observations, the dragon head bought by the Chinese is very clear on the texture, and the size and style of the material are consistent with the first seven recovered animal heads. And the dragon head has a unique Chinese pattern on it, so the dragon head auctioned by this Chinese must be real.
It is expected to be handed over to the state free of charge
After the Chinese bought the dragon's head, they revealed their willingness to hand it over to the state. In fact, since the treasure has returned to the hands of the Chinese min themselves, it is a personal will to turn it in or not to hand it in, even if it is an expert, there is no way to force it. The Chinese spent a lot of money to buy the dragon's head back, and I believe that he will cherish this treasure, and perhaps it will be collected in the museum in the future.
brief summary
This Chinese bought a dragon head for 24 million yuan, some people feel that it is very unworthy, because its style and material are not worth the price at all, but I think the dragon head has a very high historical collection value, which is not only a craft, but also a souvenir that can make our people firmly remember this history. To be backward is to be beaten, and we must remember this painful lesson so that our children and grandchildren will no longer suffer this humiliation.
