Yuanmingyuan, the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens, covers an area of more than 5,200 acres, more than 150 scenes, and a construction area of 160,000 square meters, the pinnacle of the royal classical garden, in the fire, in the turmoil, in a thought, dissipated.
Ruins of the Old Summer Palace
In 1860, the British and French troops invaded Beijing, the Yuanmingyuan was burned down, and the number of cultural relics looted was roughly counted as about 1.5 million pieces, from bronze ceremonial vessels in the pre-Qin era to famous calligraphy and paintings and various rare treasures from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In recent years, whenever the lost cultural relics of the Yuanmingyuan return, people are happy and sad, grateful and hateful, and their emotions are complicated, and whenever this moment "remembers history, do not forget the national shame, and our generation is self-reliant."

There are four big mountains in the development of the art industry - authenticity, valuation, underwriting, and confirmation of rights, these four mountains have been basically opened under the efforts of the China Art Appraisal Network, the Summit Art Appraisal Underwriting Consortium and other groups and organizations for more than ten years, but can there be no unimpeded without mountains?
No, we also have to build roads, a way to connect art and finance, a way to connect the past, present and future of art. We need finance to strongly support innovation and change in the art industry, and a steady stream of talent to support the sustainable development of the art industry, the former entrusted to the market, the latter entrusted to education.
We are shouldering the mission of clearing the source of the art industry and removing the fake and the truth, and will always strive! The great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation begins with every effort! Please continue to pay attention to us, pay attention to the art industry innovation, standardized development of the road!
