Today, let's talk about China's three major national treasures lost overseas. There are many cultural relics that are scattered overseas. There are only a lot of them, and there is only one one that has been handed down. Others are even more valuable, and a rare peerless national treasure. However, due to various complicated reasons, some of these national treasures are collected by foreign museums, some are collected by foreign private collectors, and some are still unknown....
Take it with you today to check out the three great national treasures that China has left overseas. First look at the animal head of the zodiac. The 12th Zodiac animal was built during the Qing Emperor Qianlong period. The designer was the famous court painter Lang Shi. These twelve beasts were originally an important part of the fountain outside the Yuanmingyuan Haitang Hall.
The most special feature of this group of artifacts is that it is designed with water and time. Unfortunately, in 1869, the British and French coalitions burned the Yuanmingyuan. Numerous treasures were destroyed or stolen. These animal heads also lost their sights and once flowed overseas. Fortunately, in the past few years, after many efforts by our country, there have been seven returns to the twelve beasts, but the snake head, the chicken head, the dog head, and the head of the sheep are still missing.
Let’s take a look at the Golden Seal of the King of the Hans. Japan is also one of the countries with the most logistics in ancient Chinese literature. Among them, the King of the Han Dynasty is the most precious national treasure. The gold seal of the Han Han slave king is an important historical witness of the ancient China and Japan. According to historical records, during the second year of the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the servant country sent a tribute to the tribute to the tribute, and the light martial artist Liu Xiu rewarded the king's seal made of pure gold.
However, this gold seal has not been known for some time. In the 1970s, two farmers in Kyushu accidentally discovered the gold seal during the farming. The gold seal was engraved with the words "King of the Han Dynasty". The existence shows that Japan was a subsidiary of China at the time. Jinyin is now housed in the Fukuoka City Museum in Japan.
Finally, let's talk about "The History of Women". About this famous painting, we must have learned in history textbooks. It is the first of China's top ten famous paintings, which is precious. "The History of Women" is a painting by Gu Yuzhi, a famous painter of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. But the real original work has been lost, and the existing one is the transcript of the Tang Dynasty.
The original work is also very precious, and it is very vivid and vivid, and it is very close to the original. Unfortunately, in 1900, when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the British army took it away. Now this famous painting is preserved in the British Museum in London, England. I hope that these national treasures will be "go home" as soon as possible.
