In the history of China, if that period was deeply influenced by modern people, it should be the late Qing Dynasty. There will be a period of chaos at the end of each dynasty, but the chaotic period of the late Qing Dynasty is not easy to be forgotten by the world, because it is a humiliating history. The Qing Dynasty was the last dynasty in the history of China. It was strong at first, but then it declined steadily. Due to the blockade and other reasons, the whole country has fallen behind. You will be beaten if you fall behind. Due to the strength of western powers, this beating is even more memorable. At that time, many ancient and precious cultural relics in China were also lost. Some of them came back after being strong, and some of them are still disappearing. For example, the Yongle Sword stolen by Eight-Nation Alliance is now worth more than $654.38 billion. The Royal Ordnance Museum considered this sword a treasure of the City Hall, but refused to return it.

The treasures of these places have also been lost overseas. Among them, Yongle Sword is the pinnacle of China's sword at the beginning of15th century. It is the sword given to the living Buddha in Tibet by the great Yongle emperor of China, who is Judy. Born in1May 2, 360, he was one of the great emperors even if he seized the throne by improper means. During his tenure, he worked hard to govern, reformed the official system, edited the Yongle Grand Ceremony, moved the capital to Beijing, and sent Zheng He to the Western Seas. Judy is not only an emperor, but also a general with outstanding military talent. He has experienced countless battles in his life. During his reign, the economy was prosperous and the national strength was strong.

This sword was built in the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty. At this time, Emperor Yongle was still leading the army to conquer Mongolia. In the same year, the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing. At that time, there was a living Buddha in Tibet who had many contacts with the imperial court, so Emperor Yongle planned to give him a gift and sent someone to cast this Ming Yongle sword. The sword feldspar is 903mm, the blade length is 76cm, the weight is 1.3kg, and the sheath is 2kg.

The animal between the blade and the boring handle is a Buddhist auspicious animal "Qiong", also known as the lion. There is a thorn in the center of the blade, which increases the strength of the sword. It is very simple and classic. The scabbard is a staggered pattern with a relief pattern on it. It is very different from some contemporary swords in shape and has the characteristics of oriental culture. Generally speaking, it is considered to represent the highest technical level of China sword in the early 5th century.

This sword was looted when Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, but it was not in the Royal Ordnance Museum from the beginning. At that time, the Royal Ordnance Museum bought it for100000. In this way, it became the first place in the museum to collect ancient weapons, and it became the treasure of the city hall. Naturally, they did not want to return it. Now its value has far exceeded the museum value at the time of purchase, but for China people, its financial value is not the most important. In the minds of China people, this is priceless. The meaning contained in it is not represented by money, but it is a pity that it cannot be returned.
