1. In a certain corner of the world, there is a miracle of the world. This miracle is called the Old Summer Palace. Art has two sources: one is ideal, which produces European art; the other is fantasy, which produces Eastern art. The Summer Palace is to fantasy art what the Parthenon is to ideal art. ——French Victor Hugo

Victor Hugo (February 26, 1802 - May 22, 1885), French writer, a representative writer of positive romantic literature in the early 19th century , a representative figure of humanism and an outstanding bourgeois democratic writer in the history of French literature. He is known as the "Shakespeare of France".

2. The French Empire received half of the loot from this victory, and now it is so naive that it displays the glorious plunder of the Old Summer Palace as if it is the real owner. I long for the day when France can get rid of its burdens, cleanse itself of its guilt, and return these wealth to the plundered China. ——Victor Hugo of France

3. The Yuanming Dynasty suffered two catastrophes in Kunming, and the crane disappeared for thousands of years without thinking of returning. I can't finish the song of Hujia, and the remaining ashes are like smoke flying in the evening. ——"The Old Summer Palace" by Li Dazhao in modern times

Vernacular interpretation: The Old Summer Palace was destroyed twice in wars and finally turned into rubble. The ancestors who have been dead for thousands of years can't bear to come back and see this picture. Tragic image. The sad Hujia song cannot be played out, and the remaining ashes have not been scattered to this day.

4. The jade tower is full of beautiful flowers, and the black marks of animal hooves run through the moss. The ruins of the monument are endless, and the people in the palace are old, and the sky is clearing the ashes from Haolai. ——"The Former Site of the Old Summer Palace" by Li Dazhao in modern times

Vernacular interpretation: The splendid palace at that time has turned into a pile of broken rubble, and only birds and animals walked through the deserted garden. The broken stone tablet was buried in the haystacks. The waiter who was in the palace now has an aging face and can only search hard among the ashes of the war.
