Let's not talk about what was destroyed by a movement in the south during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, including what was taken away by the British and French allied forces and what was taken away by Eight-Nation Alliance. Even so, when the Qing Dynasty perished, there were still a lot of treasures in the palace.
There are treasures from past dynasties in it. The emperor likes to collect antiques, calligraphy and painting everywhere, which has become his private property.
Later, when the Qing Dynasty perished, one of the conditions of the abdication edict signed by Puyi was to protect the emperor's private property.
At this time, the treasures were basically hidden in the palace, but due to the untimely supply of silver by the Beiyang government, cultural relics were sold in the palace, and eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting also stole them.
Later, when zhang xun restoration failed, Puyi moved some of his property to Tianjin. It is said that there are 70 big boxes, all of which are national treasures. 1922, Puyi planned to sell Sikuquanshu to the Japanese to raise his own wedding funds.
1924, Puyi was driven out of Beijing by Feng Yuxiang. At this time, he only brought some money, because he had shipped 70 cases to Tianjin, so he also moved to Tianjin to live. At this time, most of the treasures are still in Beijing.
Of course, during this period, Puyi continued to sell treasures for a living, among which "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" was sold by him.
Later, after September 18th, Puyi fled to the northeast with the remaining dozens of boxes of treasures and became a puppet ~ emperor. Later, the Japanese devils surrendered. He ran north with a small box, was caught, and all his treasures were looted.
Later, when New China was founded, Puyi was sent back to China by the Soviet Union. He returned 486 documents to the country, which was far from the nearly 10,000 cultural relics he took away from the palace. Some of the lost cultural relics were resold, some were destroyed, and some were unknown. ...
Of course, many cultural relics were not taken away by Puyi, so they stayed in Beijing. Where did they go later? It's hard to say here. Some are at home, some are abroad!
Where the hell have you been? It is estimated that most of them still stayed in Beijing!
