Yuanmingyuan is a large area, covering an area of 35 square kilometers. How big is it? The land area of Macao Island is 32.9 square kilometers. Yuanmingyuan not only brought together several famous scenic spots in the south of the Yangtze River, but also creatively transplanted western garden buildings, which was a masterpiece of gardening art at that time. There are magnificent palaces and exquisite pavilions in the garden; There is a "shopping street" symbolizing a lively market, and there are mountains and rivers symbolizing pastoral scenery; Some are modeled after the autumn moon in Pinghu, the sunset photos of Leifeng in Hangzhou West Lake, and some are modeled after the lion forest scenic spots in Suzhou. There are also poems and paintings that imitate ancient poets and painters, such as Penglai Yaotai and Wuling Chunjing ... Therefore, Yuanmingyuan is the crystallization of China people's wisdom and sweat, and also a model of China people's architectural art and culture. More importantly, Yuanmingyuan also contains countless priceless treasures, extremely precious historical classics and rich and precious historical relics, such as paintings, gold and silver jewelry, Song and Yuan porcelain and so on. It is one of the treasures of human culture and the largest museum in the world. In other words, Yuanmingyuan has everything, and the British Museum, Notre Dame de Paris and Louvre are all scum in front of Yuanmingyuan. Yuanmingyuan can be described as "unique in ancient and modern China and foreign countries". It is precisely because of this that the French writer Hugo said, "Just imagine that it is a charming building like the Moon Palace Castle" and it is a "model of ideal and art". It may also be because of its reputation, so it will suffer this catastrophe. Of course, the reason why Yuanmingyuan was built and accumulated so many treasures is because of the continuous governance of several emperors in the Qing Dynasty and the accumulation of China's 3,000-year culture. It is the role of imperial power to accumulate so much. As a royal private garden, ordinary people can't enjoy it.
