“
The heroic ambition of rebuilding the lost garden has never materialized not only because of the enormous cost but also due to the loss of knowledge in the horticultural arts. It has seemed utterly impossible to revive the grandeur, which had been brought into being by the century-long effort of a rising empire. If the Yuanming Yuan were the pride of a mighty empire, the fall of the empire would render the restoration of the great garden as impossible as that of the empire. 去书内

    The rise and fall of Yuanming Yuan conincide with that of the Qing Empire. More nostalgia.
