What historical facts are reflected in the burning of Yuanmingyuan? How do you feel after reading it?

There are only two historical facts, one is China's backwardness and incompetence in the world, and the other is the foreign invaders' fanatical pursuit of money and their strong desire to export to the outside world.

Feelings? Why are you doing this? How do you feel? What's the purpose? If it's for answering questions or exams, it's in the reference book.

It doesn't matter if you just ask.

When the Yuanmingyuan was burned, China's great wealth was stored in the Yuanmingyuan. Not only did the failure of the Qing government make China people feel cold at that time, but it also left a trace of shame now. When archaeologists in China wanted to use these ancient treasures to study the history and culture of China, their sadness even exceeded that of 100 years ago. The fire burned up China's countless wealth and many people's illusions about the Qing government. After the Second Opium War, people who overthrew the Qing government constantly emerged. A few years ago, someone mentioned rebuilding Yuanmingyuan. At that time, I mostly considered economic benefits, which was of little significance. However, it was said at that time that if it was rebuilt, it would mean forgiveness for that evil. Now, how many people in China can forgive it, or how many people are willing to forgive it for a little economic benefit? It's not that we can't forgive Britain and France now, but we can't forgive the British and French allied forces in the past and forget it.
