At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the government was faint and corrupt, and the Eight-Nation Alliance saw that there were many treasures in China's Summer Palace, and they plundered all the treasures of China, and they could not move all the things, so they burned the Summer Palace. The reason why the mainland does not rebuild the Summer Palace now is because China wants the world to remember what they did at that time, and also wants China's descendants to remember China's national shame.
In the period of warlord chaos, there were everyone in society, and some of them did not have the great righteousness of the country, and sold the treasures unearthed in the motherland abroad in exchange for money. In this way, China's national treasures have been seriously lost, and by the time China manages the treasures of the mainland, it is too late. Later, with the efforts of the Chinese people and the state, they also successfully recovered some of the treasures of the mainland.
The treasures unearthed on the mainland are also of high historical value, and they can sometimes examine the condition of a dynasty. For example, from the oracle bones unearthed on the mainland, it can be seen that the mainland has long used writing. Protecting the mainland's cultural relics has also become the responsibility of the entire country and the people, and it is indispensable to protect the mainland's national treasures.
There is a character who was identified as a sinner because of the books written by Yu Qiuyu. At that time, Yu Qiuyu was a famous writer, and the books he wrote also became best-selling books, his books were widely circulated, and people who had read his books did not go through the factual examination and directly determined the authenticity of what Yu Qiuyu wrote, so this hero was misunderstood as a sinner.
This hero has always been committed to the protection of the cultural relics of the Mogao Grottoes, but because of Yu Qiuyu's manipulation of right and wrong, he has been misunderstood by many people, and now, Yu Qiuyu also owes him an apology. This person who was misunderstood by the masses of the people was Wang Daoshi, who in the early years, could not afford to eat, wandered around to make a living, he did not have a fixed residence, so he wanted to find a place to hide.
So he found the Mogao Grottoes, at that time he did not know what kind of cultural relics the Mogao Grottoes were, only that it was a ruined ruin. Mogao Grottoes is now a national key cultural relics protection unit, it is carved Buddha statues, painted figures are vivid, the state has sent special researchers to study the murals on the Mogao Grottoes, the murals on the Mogao Grottoes are bold in color, and the painting style is very open, from which it can also be seen that the prosperity and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, the vitality of culture.
As a Taoist monk, Wang Daoshi does not believe in Buddhism, he believes in Taoism, Buddhism and Taoism are excellent religious cultures, the two must have similarities, wang Daoist is because of this that he appreciates the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes so much. In his free time, Wang Daoshi managed the murals on the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, and under his management, the murals on the Mogao Grottoes gradually revealed their original appearance.
Although the money obtained from the transformation is limited, Wang Daoshi still chooses to use this money to repair the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. In the process of restoration, Wang Daoshi discovered that there are a large number of Buddhist scriptures in the Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes, which have a profound impact on the study of Buddhist culture.
Wang Daoshi found out at this time that the ruins were not ordinary ruins, he was a Chinese cultural relic, so he immediately reported it to the government, but no one listened to Wang Daoshi at that time. Wang Daoshi took the scriptures of the Mogao Caves to the official palace, but the official only thought that he was a broken Daoist and ignored his report.
After Wang Daoshi reported that there was no way, he decided to guard the wealth of the country himself, until a new county official came to the county, and this matter was not noticed, but the county official did not pay much attention to it. He only let Wang Daoshi guard the Mogao Grottoes well, and did not make other arrangements. The Taoist priest had been insisting on reporting it, but no one had paid any attention to him, and one day, a knowledgeable person finally came to the Mogao Grottoes.
He saw the importance and value of the Mogao Caves, but this man was not Chinese, he was British. The Englishman wanted to spend a lot of money to buy these relics from the hands of the Royal Daoist, and the Royal Daoist never agreed, but under the bitter pleading of the British, the British Daoist gave the Englishman more than 10,000 volumes of scriptures, and the value of these scriptures can be imagined.
The French also noticed the cultural relics in the Mogao Grottoes, so they moved the cultural relics back to their own country, and the Qing government realized the value of the Mogao Grottoes at this time, so it focused on protection. Yu Qiuyu did not take into account the factors of the times at that time, and criticized Wang Daoshi, saying that he was a sinner throughout the ages and destroyed Chinese cultural relics.
Conclusion: It was not Wang Daoshi who destroyed Chinese cultural relics, but the self-righteous, arrogant Qing government. Wang Daoshi's strength alone was too small, and he used all his strength to protect the cultural relics of the Mogao Caves in this way. With the improvement of people's culture and the improvement of ideological awareness, they are also more concerned about the protection of cultural relics, which is the best result.
