The main highlights of the series
The Qianlong Imperial Monument is divided into three parts, namely, the monument body, the monument cap and the monument seat, and each part has two caps and five seats. The monument is 6.7 meters high and weighs more than 40 tons. It is made of white marble and stone and is well preserved. The tablet is full of rare handwritten books "Imperial Capital" and "Imperial Capital" written in Manchu and Chinese. These two poems vividly and concretely express Emperor Qianlong's thoughts of governing the country, that is, "morality is not in danger" and "prepare for danger in times of peace".
These two articles are also the greatest cultural value of this giant stone tablet, and they are important physical documents for studying and displaying Beijing's history and culture. The stele seat is a waist-girding sumeru seat, engraved with grass-rolling patterns, which is exquisite and unusual.
Around 1935, the monument stands in the "Doum Palace" in the northwest of Tianqiao Road in Beijing. From 19 15 to1919; Yucai School was still located in the northeast corner of Neitan when 1949 entered Xiannongtan. During the Great Leap Forward from 65438 to 0958, the monument was artificially pushed down and scattered on the surface. Later, due to various projects during the Cultural Revolution, various parts of the monument were buried underground. According to these clues, in 2003, the search for historic sites began. The staff first used the detector to carry out on-site inspection, and the result was disappointing.

Before the Spring Festival in 2004, a corner of the monument was found in the inner altar of Xiannongtan, underground of an office in the courtyard of Beijing convenience food factory, and then the monument cap and base were found.
The Qianlong Imperial Monument is well preserved, but because of its age, there are some cracks in the monument body, but there is no through crack. In order to ensure that the monument is not damaged, the monument has been repaired before it is erected. Larger cracks are reinforced with steel bars and treated with glue. In order to prevent wind, rain and sunshine from attacking the stone tablet, the whole stone tablet will be sealed with special glass in the future, and ventilation holes will be left on the glass cover to facilitate air circulation. According to reports, the selected glass is not only strong, but also anti-ultraviolet.
