China's more than 10 million pieces of literature have fallen abroad, and Japan and the United States have grabbed the most, are they so devoid of connotation?
In the Opium War in 1840, the British used Lin ZexuHumen to sell cigarettes as an excuse to lead the expeditionary army into China, and we were forced to sign the "Treaty of Nanjing", and from this day on, Chinese cultural relics continued to flow to foreign countries!
Some porcelain, tea, silk and other products, all hard currency, were very popular, and even in the foreign aristocratic class, set off a porcelain frenzy! Before the Opium War, the two sides were still on an equal footing, and after the war, they snatched away many people.
In 1860, the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens was destroyed, after the British and French coalition forces snatched things, they still felt unsatisfied, and directly burned it, the most excessive thing was that by 1900, the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, the Summer Palace was not spared, countries saw so many treasures, even allowed soldiers to rob at will, the government had no way, within three days the Summer Palace was full of wolf smoke, the furnishings were destroyed, even the house was not retained, if the Yongzheng Emperor saw it, it was estimated that he could be angry and alive!
China is a piece of oily meat, and everyone wants to take a bite! However, to say that the most chinese things are Taken, it is Japan, which ranks first and no one dares to rank second!
Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, Japan has liked to learn Chinese culture, and in order to express loyalty, even the name Of Japan was given by Wu Zetian! Be a qualified vassal state, but in 1931, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, Japan pulled away 1879 boxes of cultural property, 3.6 million cultural relics, of which were lost for no reason, privately transported, countless! In turbulent times, there was no money to save their lives, and some foreign businessmen took advantage of the chaos to come to China and buy cultural relics at extremely low prices and smuggle them away.
One of them, Lu Qinzhai, was so resentful that he sold 500,000 cultural relics in his lifetime!

Many cultural relics were sent to the United States, and Tang Taizong's Zhaoling Erjun disappeared for no reason, but in 1918, he appeared in the New York Museum! At the same time, the United States is also the first country with the largest collection in China, and the second country in Japan!
In 2015, the American media said that the best place to find Chinese antiques is not China but the United States, and the origin between China and the United States can be traced back to the 17th century, when British and Dutch merchants often brought them goods, that is, Chinese porcelain, especially blue and white porcelain is very popular.
After that, they were missionaries, and when they returned home, they brought back some habits, such as jade wrenches, plus some souvenirs, and ZS (smuggled) things to the United States, but how many times? During the turbulent times in China, many people fled to the United States, and what they brought with them was the foundation of their lives! Someone must want to take it out for money!
UNESCO, once counted the cultural relics lost in China, there are 1.64 million pieces, all of which are collected by 47 museums in the world, the Chinese collection in the British Museum, as many as 23,000 pieces, long-term visits to make money, only 2,000 pieces!
It robs Chinese cultural relics, covers the entire category of Chinese art, spans the entire history of China, from engravings to calligraphy and painting, bronze, ceramics, and even the most precious Ru kiln, there are 17 pieces, to know that in the current Forbidden City, there are only 21 pieces! The collections in the British Museum are basically taken from other countries, which is also known as "robbers"!
The fourth place is france, the capital of romance, which is also one of the eight countries, and in order to display the Chinese collection, the Fontainebleau Palace was specially built.
The builder was Napoleon III, Queen Eugenie!
At the beginning, France took the most things from the Yuanmingyuan, not to mention porcelain antiques, but also famous paintings, incense burners, chimes, gemstones and gold and silverware, etc., a total of more than 30,000 pieces!
And fontainebleau palace was also praised, reproducing the Yuanmingyuan! Compared with the Yongzheng Emperor's Yuanmingyuan, you are simply a pipe dream! Fortunately, now that we are getting stronger and stronger, the truth that we will be beaten when we are backward has never changed, no matter when, our confidence is the motherland!
