With my blood and passion, I melted copper and forged the vicissitudes and pathos of national history.

The 12 zodiac animal heads of the Old Summer Palace are the representatives of many lost cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace.

Why is the bronze statue of the beast head in the Old Summer Palace precious?

It was regarded as a national treasure by the Chinese people, and a beast head was auctioned for 200 million yuan in later generations.

Why is it so precious.

During the prosperous period of Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty was strong, the tide of all countries, and the level of craftsmanship was at its peak, which was particularly fully manifested in the bronze statue of the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace.

First of all, the copper it uses is the alloy copper specially refined for the court, which contains many precious metals, and the copper used in the Forbidden City and the Summer Palace in China.

Secondly, it is carefully made by the craftsmen of the palace office dedicated to serving the emperor, the casting is fine, and the surface is also carved with fine chiseling, such as animal fluff and other subtleties are chiseled and forged, clear and realistic, the nose, eyes, ears and other key parts and the nose and neck folds are very delicate, without a trace of sloppiness, showing a very high level of craftsmanship.

It is the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation for thousands of years, and it also symbolizes the strength of China in those years.

From the value of cultural relics, artistic value and social education value of these indicators, the Old Summer Palace in the hearts of the Chinese people is the heaviest, the zodiac animal head is to carry the humiliating history of the Chinese nation, the animal head as a Chinese cultural relics abroad, as a national treasure is the biggest because of the historical feelings of the country.

That recorded the most painful era of the descendants of Yan and Huang.

In 1860, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China.

That year, the British and French forces burned the Old Summer Palace.

That rare in the world, the Qing Dynasty set up a magnificent garden for two hundred years, if it survives, it should be as magnificent as the Golden Pagoda and the Great Wall.

But the great powers came, and there was nothing left.

Those who could be moved were moved, and those who could not be removed were burned, and the heads of the twelve zodiac animals were also taken away at that time.

In that invasion war, the world's greatest royal garden suffered a catastrophe, looted goods, and burned the garden, leaving only that piece of ruins and broken walls, telling the descendants of Yan and Huang not to forget the national shame.

Now that the head of the beast is now being auctioned by foreigners, it is completely trampling on the dignity of the Chinese people.

As a descendant of Yan and Huang, Li Jun saw someone auctioning off the dragon beast head in the United States, and it was impossible for him to turn a blind eye to this matter.

The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, and now that he has the ability, then he should take the head of the twelve zodiac dragons and beasts that belong to the Chinese people.

Foreigners do not have the saying of the zodiac, those belong to China, the zodiac animal head, but also represents an important symbol of Chinese culture, is the inheritance of civilization.

The dragon's head was sold at auction by an English duke, whose ancestor had been racing the Atlantic Ocean during the Age of Discovery. His ancestors played an extremely important role in the ensuing war between England and Spain, so at that time, he was awarded the title of Archduke by the Queen of England.

Some later ancestors plundered a large amount of overseas wealth during the colonial era, such as his great-grandfather, who participated in the looting of the Old Summer Palace in China, and the dragon head was robbed by him at that time.

However, no matter how much the ancestors of this duke robbed of wealth, even if they robbed a lot, it would be difficult to offset the profligacy of future generations, especially now, who has finished selling family antiques in exchange for gambling money.

The auction begins.

What is auctioned, Li Jun is not interested, he is waiting for the auction of the dragon beast head, Huaxia has a special plot for the dragon, today, no matter how much he spends, he will win the dragon beast head that ranks first in the zodiac.

The things that were robbed by the Chinese people were auctioned, which was actually a slap in the face of the Chinese people.

At the beginning of the auction, the first auction was a foreigner's painting and calligraphy, and it was a modern painting, but the auction price was still very high.

The United States is a country that has been founded for a very short time and does not have a thousand-year-old or thousand-year-old culture, and it has put a lot of effort into shaping its own cultural self-confidence.

Of course, it is not excluded that they use those modern calligraphy and paintings to avoid taxes reasonably.

Then there were French artworks, Spanish gold and bronze mirrors, and the lots at the auction had no interest in Li Jun, and his mind was completely on the beast's head.

Finally!

When the auctioneer announces the auction, the next items to be auctioned are-

Several black and white staff members carried a wooden box, covered with red satin, and placed it lightly on the table.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this next lot to auction. From the mysterious East, there is a country with a different civilization from us, and their 5,000-year-old civilization has forged the most exquisite bronze objects, please see. ”

The auctioneer lifts the red cloth that covers the wooden box.

A bronze statue of a dragon's head appears in front of the auction audience.

"This collection is the dragon head of one of the 12 zodiac animal heads of the Yuanmingyuan in the Qing Dynasty of China! The Old Summer Palace is a miracle garden comparable to the Babylonian Hanging Garden, everyone see, this dragon head bronze cast, finely carved, lifelike, has a very large collection value, the starting price is 100,000 US dollars!"

"That's the dragon head of Huaxia, Yo Xi, I'm going to buy it, and let those Huaxia people go to our Hokkaido Museum to see his dragon beast in the future. ”

"I paid $200,000 to buy it and give it to the Imperial Hokkaido Museum. ”

An island businessman laughed and offered $200,000.

directly increased the price by 100,000, he looked like he was determined to win the dragon head.

How can the things of China go to the island countries of the former vassal countries.

A Chinese person didn't even think about it, and directly increased the price of 50,000 US dollars, 250,000 US dollars, on the price of the businessman of the island country.

The islander glanced fiercely at the Chinese man who had offered $50,000 more than him.

"Three hundred thousand dollars. ”

After looking at the Chinese people viciously, the island businessman quoted again.

Logan, who had just sold Marvel, was not short of money, but at this time, seeing that Huaxia Li Jun did not make a move, he made a move.

The offer is half a million dollars.

He recently had a Chinese girlfriend, and he didn't know if she liked the dragon head, but he thought it was funny, so he made an offer.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. ”

The island merchant took a deep look at the white man and made another offer.

And the Logan bird is not a bird, and the island nation quoted again: "Seven hundred thousand dollars!"

The Chinese businessman has stopped bidding, half a million dollars is its limit, and now he has a weak heart, and he feels powerless to serve the country, this Chinese businessman has not had a Chinese businessman in later generations to gamble on his entire reputation.

In that auction, the rat head was unveiled for a reserve price of 9 million euros and finally sold for 14 million euros. At that time, the auction company did not disclose the real identity of the buyer.

Cai Mingchao, a collection consultant of the China Special Fund for the Rescue of Lost Overseas Cultural Relics, participated in the auction and became the final bidder. But due to non-payment, genres.

He didn't have that money, and he also admitted that he wouldn't pay. Under the circumstances at that time, he thought that every Chinese person would stand up, he just did his duty, even if his reputation was not at all from now on, you must know that people who have no credit in the United States will be blacklisted......"

The previous Chinese businessman didn't have the courage of Lao Cai

However, next will be Li Jun's performance time, Dragon Head, no one can take it away except him!

He is going to donate it to the state.
