I believe everyone has some understanding of our country’s historical cultural relics! The cultural relics created by our country are unmatched by other countries. In ancient times, our country basically had a surplus in trade with foreign countries. The products sold in our country were very popular, both at home and abroad.
However, this kind of prosperous and mediocre days cannot last long, because foreign countries are losing money due to trade problems and cannot make big profits. So they used violent and unjust means to gain profits, so they launched wars.
Because there is a huge contrast in the scientific and technological strength between our country and foreign countries, our country has suffered repeated defeats. In the end, they were forced to sign a series of treaties, including compensation, cession of territory, opening of treaty ports, etc. In fact, these are not the most fatal injuries, because they can be recovered by turning defeat into victory in the later stage, but it will take a long time. After all, our country's strength is relatively weak.
The most regrettable thing for people is that the invaders destroyed our country’s holy land, the Old Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace can be said to be the most glorious historical relic in our country.
A lot of manpower, material and financial resources were spent on its construction. It was once decorated with gold and silver treasures of all sizes, and every building was decorated with gold. Favored by emperors of all dynasties, it became a resting place for emperors and concubines to play. However, because of the war, they were destroyed by the invaders. They snatched the treasures they could take away in advance, shipped them on trains, and robbed countless rare treasures. What was even more disgusting was that they burned the treasures they could not take away. , leave no trace behind.
Here, the fire burned continuously for three days and three nights. We all know that the fire was very fierce. After three days and three nights of burning, only ruins were left. However, our country still has not given up on the Old Summer Palace, and the country has called in experts to restore the Old Summer Palace. Of course, hard work paid off. During the construction process, experts discovered a remaining treasure, a gilt elephant head.
It can be said that people’s metallurgical technology was very advanced at that time. It also has the calligraphy of Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty on it, which shows that it was very popular with the emperor!
