The Old Summer Palace was a summer resort where the royal family of the Qing Dynasty lived. It can be said that the Old Summer Palace before it burned down was very beautiful, and the scenery was also very good. Because the royal families of the Qing Dynasty would live in the Old Summer Palace in the summer, many precious cultural relics from various dynasties were placed there. There are a lot of jewelry in the Old Summer Palace that are of very high value. It can be said that the jewelry seen in the Old Summer Palace is simply a jewelry exhibition.
The Old Summer Palace is the wealth of the whole world, but it is a pity that we can no longer see its beauty. Because it was completely burned down by those foreign invaders at that time. Of course, Chinese people will continue to reflect upon seeing those ruins now. These broken arm remnants left behind are constantly reminding the Chinese people not to forget history and that they need to continue to work hard. Only in this way can we better protect Chinese civilization.
The Old Summer Palace is in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, near the Summer Palace. The Old Summer Palace now covers a total area of ??5,200 acres and has more than 150 famous scenic spots. Before it was burned down, it was very spectacular and glorious. Every summer, the royal family of the Qing Dynasty would go to the Old Summer Palace to escape the summer heat, and the monarch would come here to handle government affairs. Therefore, the Old Summer Palace is also known as the Summer Palace.
Because the Old Summer Palace was, after all, the place where the royal family of the Qing Dynasty lived, every detail was carefully planned by the designer. There are many very precious cultural relics stored here. Even the ordinary gold and silver jewelry at that time were inconspicuous here. It is like an exhibition of precious cultural relics. And the value of every cultural relic in this exhibition was very high. At that time, Victor Hugo once praised the Old Summer Palace and said that the cultural relics in the Old Summer Palace were unmatched by even the treasures of all the cathedrals in Europe. From this we can see how magnificent the Old Summer Palace was at that time. But it is really a pity that such a large-scale place with very beautiful scenery was burned down by foreign invaders.
