Stolen cultural relics
The Revolution of 1911 ended the Qing Dynasty with a gunshot. 19 12 years, Empress Yulong abdicated with the young Puyi Xuan Tong, thus the Qing Dynasty collapsed and the last feudal dynasty instantly became a thing of the past.
According to the requirements of the Preferential Treatment Regulations signed by Yuan Shikai and the Qing Dynasty, Puyi was left in this ancient Forbidden City, accompanied by countless antique calligraphy and painting, gold and silver jade articles and various priceless Wan Wen antiques.
Although Puyi is still regarded as the owner of the Forbidden City, Yuan Shikai asked Puyi and others not to embezzle any antiques, calligraphy, gold, silver and jade articles without permission, and claimed that all the wealth in the Forbidden City was managed and protected by Yuan Shikai's army.
However, the restless Puyi knows that although he is in the Forbidden City, he shows a master's style every day, but after all, this place is not his own, not so much a master as a tenant.
Puyi began to play the idea of gold and silver treasures and antique calligraphy and painting here. Puyi used the chaotic situation in China to design a plan to smuggle treasures. After all, Puyi lived in the Forbidden City for so long, and he knew very well what cultural relics were priceless.
Puyi carefully selected the most valuable antique calligraphy and painting, sent it out of the Forbidden City in the name of giving it to his younger brother Pu Jie, and stored it in a house in Tianjin.
This smuggling behavior lasted for half a year, including Wang Xizhi's calligraphy, Mo Bao's paintings and Yan's handwriting, as well as long-standing monuments, monuments, two thank-you letters, Luo Shenfu, divination, fan-shaped ladies and Han Xizai's night banquet.
Without Feng Yuxiang's appearance, this massive smuggling activity might last longer. 1924, Feng Yuxiang and Lu led the troops into the Forbidden City, overthrew the preferential conditions after the abdication of the Qing emperor, expelled the last emperor Puyi from the Forbidden City, and stopped paying the living expenses of the Qing royal family.
Knowing that she was going to be driven out of the Forbidden City, Puyi selected the remaining jewels, paintings and calligraphy, and took away152,000 silver cultural relics. Puyi, who walked out of the Forbidden City, lost both her residence and her huge living expenses.
Puyi, who had no choice but to sell cultural relics, sold a lot of extremely precious cultural relics, even cultural relics whose value could not be measured by money, just to satisfy Puyi's decadent life.
Cultural relics to Japan and the Soviet Union.
193 1 year, the Japanese designed the puppet Manchukuo government and took Puyi as the "puppet emperor". At this time, Puyi had sold a large number of cultural relics hidden in Tianjin, but as a "puppet emperor", he was subject to Japanese invaders everywhere in the puppet Manchukuo government, and his daily work and various activities were not free at all.
In order to please the Japanese invaders, gain some trust, and not to embarrass them, Puyi gave them a large number of cultural relics she smuggled out. Many of these cultural relics were brought to Japan and became "trophies".
From 65438 to 0945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War for 14 years, the puppet Manchukuo perished and Japan surrendered. Puyi selected two boxes of treasures and planned to escape with them. Unexpectedly, Puyi was captured by the Soviet Union at Shenyang Airport and escorted to Boli, the Soviet Union for detention.
During his detention, Pu Yi was terrified of being severely punished by the Soviet Union, so he used the method of pleasing Japan in the Soviet Union.
In the name of supporting Soviet economic construction, he gave the second batch of two boxes of treasures to the Soviet Union, and secretly hid 468 of the most valuable cultural relics in another black box.
Handed over the ancestral treasure
1949, after the victory of the Liberation War and the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Puyi was handed over to the China government by the Soviet Union, and Puyi, who was sent to China, was immediately transferred to Fushun War Criminals Management Office for ideological reform.
Later, Puyi handed over the only remaining 468 cultural relics she secretly brought back from the Soviet Union. You may not know anything about it. There are more than 6,543,800 pieces of cultural relics in the Forbidden City. This was after two Opium Wars, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Eight-Nation Alliance's invasion of China, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the War of Liberation, and each war brought a lot of cultural relics.
However, in just 20 years, tens of thousands of cultural relics and antiques that Puyi took away from the Palace were destroyed by Puyi, leaving only more than 400 pieces, and the rest of the cultural relics were scattered overseas in large numbers, which did irreparable harm to China's traditional culture.
It is worth mentioning that in 1950, among the more than 400 cultural relics handed in by Puyi, there was one that he cherished very much and never even left his body.
Many people can't help wondering what cultural relics he attaches so much importance to when he has the heart to sell Luo Shenfu and Bu Mi Tu.
In fact, friends who have been to the Palace Museum have heard of this treasure to some extent. It is the triple seal of Gan Long Tianhuang, the treasure of the town hall of the Forbidden City.
The triple print of Gan Long Tianhuang is more important than the jade itself, and I think this is also the reason why Puyi dare not move its mind anyway-the triple print of Gan Long Tianhuang is a family heirloom of the Qing Dynasty royal family.
According to legend, Qianlong was old and frail, and decided to cede the throne to Jiaqing because he was unable to govern the country. The triple seal of Qianlong, Tian Huang, was a private seal ordered by the supreme emperor Qianlong.
Friends who play with jade have heard the phrase "one or two fields of yellow and two thousand gold", and its significance is self-evident. Tian Huangshi, known as the "king in the stone", is of excellent texture, even the best.
Aside from the value of Tian Huangshi itself, Gan Long Tian Huang's triple seal is extremely meticulous, and carving Tian Huangshi with soft texture is time-consuming and laborious, and it is easily damaged. If the craftsman is not careful, the whole stone carving may fall short. Gan Long Tianhuang's triple seal is regarded as an invaluable royal treasure because of its exquisite carving technique.
Interestingly, Gan Long Tianhuang Triple Reprint was loved by Emperor Qianlong, and was handed down by the Qing Emperor in later generations. In these 20 years, Puyi never left his body to protect this triple seal of the Emperor of Gan Long, and he must feel more or less guilty and repented of the Aisingiorro family.
The cultural relics of the Six Dynasties were even empty, and the sky was light and the clouds were idle. Birds go to the mountains, and people sing and cry. Behind every cultural relic is more the precipitation of history and the reincarnation of fate. As time goes by, what remains unchanged is the 5,000-year-old Chinese civilization carried by cultural relics. So protecting cultural relics is also protecting our civilization.
