How many national treasures have been circulated overseas in China?

China is one of the countries with the most serious loss of cultural relics in the world. According to the survey of UNESCO, there are 1.67 million pieces of China cultural relics recorded in more than 200 museums in 47 countries and regions in the world, which is about 0/0 times of the number scattered overseas. Cultural relics lost overseas before 1949 and smuggled out of the country after 1949, especially after the 1980s, cover almost all kinds of cultural relics, including calligraphy, painting, porcelain, pottery, sculpture, bronze statues and other treasures.

How many cultural relics have been lost overseas in China, and where are they now? I'm afraid the exact number will always be a mystery.

Major museums and libraries in Britain * * * collect about 6,543.8+300,000 historical relics of China. Among them, the British Museum has more than 30,000 rare national treasures such as China's paintings and calligraphy, ancient books, jade, pottery, porcelain, bronzes and sculptures. French museums and libraries collect about 2.6 million historical relics of China. American museums have the most lost paintings and cultural relics in China. There are more than 65,438+0,000 museums in Japan, and * * * has a collection of about 2 million China cultural relics. There are about 300,000 well-documented museums in Germany. Russia has taken away countless Dunhuang artworks. Canadian cultural relics agency * * * owns nearly 200,000 pieces of ancient cultural relics in China, many of which were smuggled out of Europe and the United States under the guise of developing and studying China's geology after the liberation of World War II. China used to rob tombs and bought too many foreign ones. I hope to adopt them.
