Travel Around the World in Search of National Treasures

About This Novel
According to incomplete statistics, there are a total of about 1.6 Million pieces of ancient Chinese art collected in public museums in the West and Japan, but this is only about 20% of the Chinese cultural relics lost overseas. From the Dunhuang silk paintings in the British Museum, to the Buddhist sculptures in the Guimet Museum in Paris, to the Turpan murals in the Asian Art Museum in Berlin, these cultural relics are not only masterpieces of art, but also witnesses of Chinese history and culture. How did they become displaced during war, exploration and trade? How do they continue to tell the story of China in foreign museums? Author Chang Qing spent thirty years making in-depth visits to 25 world-renowned museums, leading us to uncover the history and legends behind these cultural relics and experience the wanderings and reunions of civilizations. This is a search for a lost national treasure and a rediscovery of Chinese culture. If you want to inspect every Chinese national treasure that has been lost overseas, it is definitely not something that one person can do in a lifetime. This requires the efforts of several generations, and we look forward to more people participating in the "hunting for national treasures".
