In the modern history of our country, there have been many wars, and everyone knows the importance of Beijing to our country. In modern times, Beijing was occupied by foreign powers for three times, one of which was during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, when the Japanese occupied Beijing for eight years.

Beijing is the capital of China, which means that 24 emperors lived in the Forbidden City during the Qing Dynasty. The Forbidden City has always been the center of China, with precious historical buildings and some precious cultural relics. In the Palace Museum in Beijing, China's top treasures are treasured.

When the British and French allied forces and Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, they brutally plundered Beijing's treasures. Then the Japanese occupied Beijing for eight years, but they didn't take away the cultural relics of the Forbidden City. Why? Let's have a look.

After Japan launched the September 18th Incident, it felt that things were going smoothly, and it also increased a lot of ambitions. First of all, it turned its attention to North China. There was a Japanese militarist named Hiroichi Ishihara, who wanted to use Shanxi's coal, Hebei's iron and Shandong's cotton to achieve a better purpose of invasion.

After the Japanese occupied Shanhaiguan, they attacked Jehol Province. Although China soldiers stubbornly resisted, they were still unable to resist the Japanese attack. At that time, the situation in North China suddenly changed. In order to protect the cultural relics in Beijing, the National Government decided to move the cultural relics of the Forbidden City to the south to avoid being taken away by the Japanese.

At that time, 1349 1 box of cultural relics moved south, but some people were unwilling to move south, especially those civilians in Beijing. They are worried about the continuous war. If these things are scattered all over the country, they will be damaged and even cause irreparable losses.

However, after discussion, most people are still willing to move south. At that time, everyone thought that the war would always win. Finally, it was decided that the cultural relics should be moved south. After all, things were destroyed by the Japanese, and they could never be recovered. So these cultural relics were transported to Sichuan in three ways.

These cultural relics have been left in Sichuan, and have experienced the years of war and the hard resistance of the Sichuan people, so these cultural relics have suffered almost no losses and are well preserved. In fact, when they moved south, there were still some cultural relics, most of which belonged to fine works.

But when the Japanese invaded, it was difficult to guarantee that these things would not be destroyed. At that time, Zhang Tingji, the secretary of the Palace Museum, stayed to protect these cultural relics. The Japanese also sent some traitors to ask for these cultural relics, and Zhang dealt with these people many times.
