As we all know, Yuanmingyuan was built in the Qing Dynasty, and it has always had the reputation of "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". There are countless rare treasures in the garden, and the garden is also beautiful. However, just 159 years ago, it suffered a catastrophe, its rare treasures were looted, and its garden was destroyed and ruined. Now, 100 years have passed, and the once brilliant Yuanmingyuan has long been in ruins, but this ruin still exists, reminding people of everything it has encountered.

In order to remember the history and let more people walk into Yuanmingyuan, Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park will be open to the public free of charge on the anniversary day. 186010 June18, the Yuanmingyuan, known as the Garden of Thousand Gardens, was burned down by the British and French allied forces.

From 20 16, Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park is a free open day every June 18. I hope more people will come to Yuanmingyuan, approach the ruins, mourn the glorious past of Yuanmingyuan, remember history and inspire patriotic enthusiasm.

Yuanmingyuan, with the reputation of "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens", was looted and burned by the British and French allied forces in June 1860, and the garden buildings were reduced to ashes, with precious furnishings and collections scattered all over the world.

20 18 10 18, the scattered cultural relics returned to Yuanmingyuan for the first time, which is also 37 important stone cultural relics returned since the establishment of Yuanmingyuan Management Office, and will be open to tourists free of charge as a permanent exhibition.

Every cultural relic is covered with a glass protective cover. Among them, the "Qichun Garden Xiaqingzhai Liu Beiting Base and Diversion Stone Trough" in the center of the exhibition area is the most eye-catching. This group of components was originally the base of Liubei Canal in the "Xianchang Pavilion" in Qichun Garden, and it was composed of nine stones. In order to imitate the twists and turns of rivers and streams, a tortuous small sink is chiseled on the stone base, and the overall shape is like an animal face pattern, taking the artistic conception of "meandering water flowing". After the death of Yuanmingyuan, these components drifted to Peking University Garden and were returned by Peking University on 198 1.

Another exquisite cultural relic in the exhibition area is the square lintel of "Liulang". On one side, the square lintel is engraved with the word "Liulang", and on the other side is engraved with a poem "Liulang", which reads: "The name of the Ten West Lakes has been handed down from ancient times, and Liulang in the imperial garden is also called Fang. Li Liu Ji Yi listened to it for no reason, and she was as surprised as Qingbo Gate. " Both sides of the text are engraved with floral patterns. These vicissitudes of cultural relics not only witnessed the honor and disgrace of the Chinese nation, but also condensed the deep and dignified feelings of Chinese sons and daughters.

In addition to the Tianxin water surface, a pair of stone fish, five water-watching stone screens, two square tower-shaped stone components, a group of interesting fountains and other scattered cultural relics are also displayed in the Yuanmingyuan Exhibition Hall and the site of Xiyanglou.

Yuanmingyuan, also known as Yuanming Sanyuan, is a large-scale royal garden in the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, adjacent to the Summer Palace, and consists of Yuanmingyuan Garden, Changchun Garden and Qichun Garden, so it is also called Yuanming Sanyuan. In addition, there are many small gardens in the east, west and south, surrounded by stars.

Covering an area of 3.5 square kilometers, with a building area of 200,000 square meters and more than 0/50 scenic spots, it is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens". Every summer, the imperial capital of Qing Dynasty comes here to escape the heat, listen to politics and deal with military and political affairs, so it is also called the Summer Palace.

Yuanmingyuan was built in 1709 (forty-eight years of Kangxi). It was originally a gift from Emperor Kangxi to Yin Zhen, the fourth son of Emperor Kangxi. After Yongzheng 1722 acceded to the throne, the original garden was expanded. In the south of the garden, Zheng Da Guangming Hall, Qin Zhengtang and many value rooms of the Cabinet, Sixth Department and Military Department were built, hoping to "avoid noise and listen to politics" here in summer. During the Qianlong period, in addition to the local reconstruction of Yuanmingyuan, Changchun Garden was built in the east and merged into Wanchun Garden in the southeast. The pattern of three gardens in Yuanming has basically taken shape. Jiaqing Dynasty mainly rebuilt and expanded Qichun Garden (Wanchun Garden), making it one of the main gardens. During the reign of Daoguang, state affairs declined and financial resources were insufficient. However, the furnishings of Wanshou, Xiangshan and Yuquan "Three Mountains" were withdrawn, Jehol stopped summering and Mulan hunted, and the reconstruction and decoration of Yuanming Three Gardens have not been abandoned. 1860101On October 6th, the British and French allied forces looted Yuanmingyuan, looted cultural relics and burned it. When Emperor Tongzhi tried to repair them, he was forced to stop and rebuild other buildings because of financial difficulties. After Eight-Nation Alliance, it was attacked by bandits and eventually turned into ruins.

Yuanmingyuan, which was founded in the Qing Dynasty 150 years ago, was once famous for its grand geographical scale, outstanding architectural skills, exquisite architectural landscape, rich cultural collection and profound national cultural connotation, and was praised by French writer victor hugo as "a model of all gardening arts" and "a model of ideals and art".
