"Yuanmingyuan" was rarely photographed before it was destroyed, and it was first exposed in Britain. Netizen: Unfortunately, it is not wallpaper. Why?

China has a long history and culture, which makes us leave a lot of classical art, including China classical garden art. Among these garden landscapes, Yuanmingyuan occupies a very important position. Earlier, Suzhou was famous for a famous garden landscape, which was composed of Yuanmingyuan and its affiliated gardens, Changchun Garden and Wanchun Garden, so we also called it Yuanming Three Gardens. There are more than 150 landscapes in Yuanmingyuan, which is also called "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens" by later generations.

With the development of the times, China, a mysterious ancient oriental country, has attracted the attention of many western countries. They marveled at China's artistic creation, and were deeply interested in China's classical culture, including Yuanmingyuan.

In the eyes of artists from other countries, Yuanmingyuan is an incredible existence. It not only has exquisite garden design, perfect integration with natural landscape, but also stores countless rare treasures.

But such a rare art palace was eventually destroyed by the war. All the treasures in Yuanmingyuan were looted and the buildings in the park were reduced to ashes. Now we can see the Yuanmingyuan, with only a small part of the remaining buildings. Earlier, the photos before the destruction of Yuanmingyuan were exhibited in Britain, and each one was so beautiful that it made people cry.

At first, this garden landscape was the garden courtyard given by Emperor Kangxi to the emperor's fourth son. After Yongzheng came to power, the park was expanded, and Changchun Garden and Wanchun Garden were built nearby, which formally formed the basic pattern of Yuanmingyuan.

Since then, although successive emperors have carried out a series of repairs to Yuanmingyuan, the overall structure has not changed much. Whenever it comes to midsummer, Yuanmingyuan becomes the emperor's summer resort, and they also handle official business in the park.

In everyone's opinion, Yuanmingyuan, a miracle of the world, should have been handed down all the time, but unexpectedly, the British and French allied forces launched an attack on our country, robbed all the treasures in the garden, and also caused some damage to Yuanmingyuan. After Emperor Tongzhi ascended the throne, he made a decision to repair Yuanmingyuan. However, due to the domestic economic situation at that time, there were many problems, so the repair work did not completely restore Yuanmingyuan.

Nevertheless, under the arrangement of Emperor Tongzhi, many damaged places in Yuanmingyuan were restored. However, after Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, Yuanmingyuan was looted and destroyed again, and the beautiful scenery in the former garden failed to be preserved after all.

I have to say that being beaten behind is an eternal truth. At that time, it was precisely because of the backward development of China and the invasion of the motherland by western powers that we failed to protect the artistic miracle of Yuanmingyuan.
