"Ice and Snow Maze...... Ice and Snow Maze ...... "I kept repeating it in my mouth and searching in my mind, remembering where I had heard the word.

When the old ghost saw me like this, he immediately became impatient and asked, "Boss, did you take the wrong medicine?" ”

"Don't bother him!" Duoduo hurriedly said.

Lisa also took over the topic and said, "You asked Fang Yu to think about where you heard it, can you not interrupt?" I don't have any eyesight at all! ”

"Hey......" The old ghost was about to have a seizure, so Duoduo made a silent gesture to him, and the old ghost had to shut up.

It was then that I had a flash of inspiration and remembered where I had seen the phrase "ice and snow maze" - in my grandfather's notes! That's right, it's in Grandpa's notes! At that moment, I hurriedly put down my backpack and went to look for my grandfather's notebook.

This note belonged to my grandfather, and later came into my aunt's hand. Later, it passed into my hands.

Because there are too many mysteries in my heart that have not been solved. So, I take it with me almost everywhere I go, and I look through it every now and then. Trying to find some clues that would answer the question on my mind.

In addition to a large number of puzzling numbers and hand-drawn drawings, there are also diaries and memorabilia. Most of the first few pages of this note were written by my grandfather, and the last few pages were written by my aunt.

However, what is more striking is that on my grandfather's original handwriting, there are many dots and small characters marked with red pens. Judging by the handwriting, it was marked by my aunt.

I took a closer look, and it was my aunt's research and analysis of the number jù left by my grandfather; There are also some that are my aunt's own speculation. Without these notes, I wouldn't have been able to understand what was in my grandfather's notes. But looking at those headache-inducing numbers and drawings, my head gets bigger. That feeling. It's like reading a book from the sky.

Judging from the labeling, my aunt has figured out a lot of problems. However, my aunt seemed to be looking for some kind of answer. And the final answer was not able to be figured out until my aunt was killed.

I didn't know what my grandfather wrote about this note, even if it was annotated by my aunt. I still don't know a lot. Not to mention using these numbers jù and drawings to reason and judge the meaning of those numbers jù.

Actually, there are not many records of deeds in this notebook. However, there must be something interesting about the recorded events. At least, it's interesting to grandpa, or rather meaningful.

I watched and watched the few events and didn't see much of a very interesting feeling. Maybe I got along with my grandfather from a different era, or maybe I wasn't a first-hand witness to the incident. So, you can't experience the fun in it.

But. There is something about this "ice and snow maze", and it really has a little meaning:

Back then, when my grandfather was still a member of the scientific expedition team, their group had come to this ice and snow maze. That time, they didn't come to this place spontaneously. Instead, he was instructed by his superiors to come to this mysterious area in search of a secret base.

This secret base is very special and is said to contain a number of very valuable cultural relics. It is precisely these cultural relics that came from a special route, and they were secretly transported by a special team sent by the state.

Because at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China. The Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China and plundered Chinese cultural relics and national treasures. Anything that can be taken away. Almost a piece is not left; If you can't take it away, you will destroy it all in one fell swoop.

At that time, China's most noble royal garden, the Old Summer Palace, was destroyed in this way.

The Old Summer Palace is located in the northwest suburbs of Beijing, adjacent to the Summer Palace. It is composed of the Old Summer Palace, the Changchun Garden and the Wanchun Garden, and is also called the "Three Gardens of the Old Ming Palace".

The western suburbs of Beijing. There are continuous Xishan Xiufeng: Yuquan Mountain, Wanshou Mountain, Wanquanzhuang, Beihai and other terrains.

Artesian springs are everywhere, and in low-lying places they become lakes and marshes. The Yuquan landscape flows into Kunming Lake from west to east, becoming the largest water surface in the western suburbs.

As early as the Liao Dynasty, the feudal emperor chose this place to build the Yuquan Mountain Palace.

In the Ming Dynasty, the natural scenery here attracted more tourists. Thereupon. Some dignitaries occupied the countryside to build villas, and large tracts of land were occupied piece by piece.

In the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Li Wei, the marquis of the Qing Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, built a lot of construction here. First of all, the Tsinghua Garden, which is known as the "No. 1 Garden in Beijing", was built on a grand scale (the site is outside the west wall of Peking University).

Later, Mi Wanzhong guided the lake outside the east wall of Tsinghua Garden, and opened up the elegant and beautiful "Spoon Garden", taking the meaning of "a spoon in Haidian".

In the empty suburbs, there are pavilions and pavilions and lakes and mountains, and it has become a famous place for gardens in the suburbs of Beijing.

In the Qing Dynasty, the emperor also took a fancy to the western suburbs, an excellent place for gardening, and began to build gardens on a large scale.

The Old Summer Palace is one of the famous royal gardens of the Qing Dynasty, with an area of more than 5,200 acres and more than 150 scenes. With a construction area of 160,000 square meters, it is known as the "Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens".

The royal family of the Qing Dynasty would come here to manage the government in the middle of summer, so the Old Summer Palace was also called the "summer palace". It was built in 1709 (the forty-eighth year of Kangxi), and it was a garden given by Kangxi to Yongzheng, who had not yet ascended the throne, to pass the time.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne in 1722, he expanded the original garden, and added the Zhengda Guangming Hall and the Qinzheng Hall in the south of the garden, as well as the cabinet, the six ministries, and the military aircraft storage room, so as to "avoid noise and listen to politics".

During the Qianlong period, the Old Summer Palace was partially added and rebuilt. That is, the Changchun Garden was newly built in the east, and the Wanchun Garden was merged into the southeast neighborhood. Until this time, the pattern of the "Three Gardens of the Old Ming Dynasty" was basically formed.

During the Jiaqing period, Qichun Garden was repaired and expanded, and became one of the main garden places.

In the Daoguang period, the national strength was declining day by day, and the financial resources were insufficient. Emperor Daoguang preferred to remove the furnishings of the "three mountains" of Wanshou, Xiangshan and Yuquan, and to recreate the summer vacation and Mulan hunting, but still rebuilt the Three Gardens of the Old Ming Dynasty.

So far, the Old Summer Palace has become a unique royal garden in history. Its perfection and elegance are incomparable. And its construction craftsmanship and grandeur are even more breathtaking.

However, the good times were short-lived. The more beautiful something is, the longer it will live. This seems to have become the law of history, or it can be said to be an inescapable curse. Like the Acropolis of Greece, it was reduced to ruins.

The Old Summer Palace was burned down by the British and French forces in 1860, and the number of looted cultural relics is roughly estimated at about 1.5 million. From the bronze ritual vessels of the pre-Qin era, down to the famous calligraphy and paintings of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and various rare treasures.

In 1900, the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, and the royal gardens in the western suburbs were again destroyed. The trauma suffered by the Old Summer Palace makes people sigh. The violent acts of the Eight-Nation Coalition are also outrageous. Moreover, the weakness of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty at that time was even more painful.

A group of cadres, including Cixi and others, betrayed the country to seek glory, and the whole country was angry and the people were angry.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Old Summer Palace was destroyed by different ways.

Finally, during the Cultural Revolution, the Old Summer Palace was also damaged to some extent.

After the burning of the Old Summer Palace, the ruins of the Old Summer Palace did not begin to be protected until after the founding of New China. (To be continued......)
