When the Emperor Qianlong in the Yuanmingyuan
scale development projects, the British industrial revolution is in full swing in the West, science has become a trend. But it is still under the Qing Empire to the mode of operation for thousands of years. in dealing with science, Qianlong extremely pedantic, conservative. big project just completed three years of water law, water pumping machinery was abandoned, replaced by artificial to draw. abandoned the command from the Emperor Qianlong, he believes that these machines are only fluff western can only play a while. Qianlong also believe that science is Wanwusangzhi. conservative and arrogant is the height of the Qing hidden beneath the surface of the great crisis, but also doomed to an irreversible decline of the Qing Dynasty. intoxicated at the time of Emperor Qianlong in the Yuanmingyuan, an industrial-based to Western civilization is irresistible force of the rapid development of the .1776 , Independence; 1789, the outbreak of the French bourgeois revolution, but Britain is the world colonized.

However, once a no talented people in the deck command, it will never have discipline and safe. pedantic conservative, closed-door policy is eating away at the .1799 of this vast empire, the 89-year-old Emperor Qianlong's death. Just four years later, the United Kingdom to use force to impose forced open the door to China, this is the Opium War. in the nineteenth century, five the late years, the British sent Sir Elgin British and French troops led by a powerful fleet, the Chinese continue to wage war against the DPRK.

When I place in them, when really, it's luxury still shocked me. followed, and General Sir, I explore the mysterious royal garden. whether officers or soldiers, we obtained the impression that they are the same, could not find comparable to the garden with them. A British officer said: 'the French royal castles and palaces all add up also not worth a Yuanmingyuan.' Summer Palace everywhere palace, which full of antiques, books, grade silk and all kinds of treasures. This is the scene in the Arabian Nights is a fantasy. is a fantasy, but also can not imagine the existence of the reality before our eyes. There must be a poet, painter, appreciation family, historians and scholars in China who rolled into one, to explain and describe. in coming. French soldiers in the Oct. 7 started a number of valuable objects stolen. in the next day, twenty thousand soldiers, almost all British and French troops deployed with the Yuanmingyuan in burning and looting, wanton, began a frenzied looting the Winter Palace.

At this point in the hundreds of Yuanmingyuan Chee Yong Hu ladies hiding in the house of David expect to escape unharmed, but the British and French forces burned alive in Hong Hu Chi Wing. to create the Masterpieces garden Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong could only watch the magic world ashes into a fairyland, the soldiers set fire to the ladies do not even know the existence.
fire day and night, burned for three days and three nights. smoke cloud cover blocks out the sun, they are Yuanmingyuan ghost ghosts!
In 1861, the French writer Victor Hugo wrote in a letter:
somewhere on earth,
there was a world wonder,
its name is called Summer Palace.
It brings together a national,
almost super-human imagination,
the creation of all results.
This is a shock ...
