Poster for the London International Exhibition of Chinese Art. In 1933, at the beginning of the Chinese New Year, a group of plainly dressed scholars escorted boxes of precious cultural relics onto a cart and walked out of the Meridian Gate of the Palace Museum. They didn't expect that this trip would take decades. In 1931, the September 18 Incident broke out and Northeast China fell. In less than two years, the flames of war spread throughout North China, and Beiping was in a precarious situation. In the midst of danger, this group of people embarked on a long journey to protect the cultural relics of the Forbidden City from damage and plunder. They set off from Beiping, heading south and west, traversing most of China, enduring hardships and carrying heavy burdens, guarding the cultural roots of the Chinese nation with their lives and beliefs. Among these cultural relics, there are 10 pre Qin stone drums weighing about one ton each, known as the "number one ancient artifact of China", as well as more than 36000 volumes of the Wenyuan Pavilion's "Complete Library of Four Treasuries". The relocation journey is long and transportation is extremely difficult. Even in times of peace, it is not an easy task to safely transport such a large and numerous amount of cultural relics. At that time, the land of China was plagued by frequent wars and material shortages, making it difficult to relocate cultural relics to the south. On the bumpy road, the guardians of national treasures face not only enemies and artillery fire, but also diseases and hunger, rapids and dangerous shoals, fires and floods, as well as humid environments and termite infestations that are not conducive to the protection of cultural relics. Today, it seems that the history of national treasures moving south 90 years ago was simply a miracle. For the past 90 years, countless people have repeatedly asked: How could a group of weak and weak scholars carry more than 19000 boxes of cultural relics on their journey to the country, running through the sky full of artillery fire, protecting a large number of treasures in the history of Chinese civilization and preventing the long river of Chinese civilization from being cut off by war? In fact, behind the miracle lies the ordinary stories of countless ordinary Chinese people. On June 8, 1943, a sudden fire broke out in Emei County, endangering the cultural relics of the Forbidden City. According to the "Emei County Annals", "On June 8th at 1:40 pm, a major fire broke out in the urban area of Emei. People called it the" June 8th Fire ". According to an official source, 9 people were burned to death and 2 police officers were missing. 1363 houses were burned down, and 6778 people were affected. The estimated loss was equivalent to 730.47123 million French dollars." At that time, Emei did not have modern fire-fighting equipment. People have no choice but to draw water from the well and use bowls and ladles to scoop water to put out the fire, but it's a waste of time. Once the fire burns out the West Gate, the cultural relics of the Forbidden City will suffer a catastrophic disaster. In the midst of danger, the people of Emei and the stationed soldiers joined forces to demolish their own houses and create a "isolation zone" around the warehouse of Wumiao. Finally, the cultural relics in the warehouse survived the big fire and were unharmed. This is a deeply moving scene during the southward migration of cultural relics from the Forbidden City. Such scenes have occurred more than once during the years of migration to the south. During the migration of national treasures, the people gave up their ancestral halls, the monks freed up their temples, the military and police were dedicated to defending them, and ethnic enterprises provided strong support... The southward migration of cultural relics from the Forbidden City became an inspiring chapter in China's Anti Japanese War and a brilliant feat in the history of human civilization. Looking through old photos, we will be surprised to find that during the turbulent days of the southward migration, these scholars who came out of the Forbidden City, despite enduring the hardships of the times and the cold years, their faces shone with a peaceful light
