After learning the text "The Destruction of Yuanmingyuan", I was filled with emotion.
18601October 6th, British and French troops invaded Beijing, China, and broke into the Yuanmingyuan, while Empress Dowager Cixi fled the capital with the emperor. The allied forces of Britain and France frantically robbed, destroyed and burned the treasures, cultural relics and ancient buildings in the garden. These invading troops committed unforgivable heinous crimes in China. It was the saddest and darkest historical period in the history of China, and it was a humiliating history that we China people should always remember.
Before the Yuanmingyuan was burned down by the British and French allied forces, it was once so splendid: there were magnificent halls, exquisite pavilions, trading streets symbolizing busy markets, and rural villages symbolizing rural scenery. Many scenes in Yuanmingyuan were built in imitation of scenic spots around the world, such as the autumn moon in Pinghu of Hangzhou West Lake, the sunset glow of Leifeng, the An Lan Garden in Haining and the Lion Forest in Suzhou. There are also many scenery built according to the poetic meaning of ancient poets, such as Pengyaotai and Wuling Color ... There are not only national buildings in the garden, but also western landscapes. Walking in the garden is like enjoying the Chinese and foreign scenery and lingering in it, as if you are in a fantasy realm. It can be said that she is the crystallization of China people's wisdom and sweat, and a model of Chinese architecture and culture. Not only that, the Yuanmingyuan also contains countless priceless treasures, but also extremely rare historical classics and rich historical relics, gold and silver treasures, Song and Yuan ceramics, historical paintings and calligraphy, etc., which can be called one of the treasure houses of human culture.
However, why does this wonderful thing no longer exist? Who did this? This catastrophe is just as described and criticized in the article "The Destruction of Yuanmingyuan": One day, the British and French allied forces broke into Yuanmingyuan and robbed it madly. They robbed everything they saw, and every robber packed his pockets full. What's more, they smashed the big porcelain that could not be moved ... After the British and French allied forces ransacked Yuanmingyuan, they ordered it to be burned for three days and three nights in order to cover up the crime.
After reading The Destruction of Yuanmingyuan, I was silent. This is a kind of silence after being stung, and the heart is burning like a fire. This is a shame left by history! Such a shame in old China is more than this time? Why does the dignified Chinese nation have such a humiliating day? It is closed to the outside world, political darkness and feudal autocracy in ........... We should firmly remember this history, and we should be more determined to become a real world power in 2 1 century. We should study hard for the rise of our motherland!
