　　You Shixun, an auction house painting and calligraphy expert who went to Japan to recover the painting, said that the Chinese art in the hands of the descendants of Japanese collectors is flowing out: "The collection and lifestyle of the descendants of (Japanese collectors) are trying to Westernize, they do not understand Chinese culture, and they slowly put Chinese things out.。”

　　Zong Tianliang, a former spokesman for the Yuanmingyuan Management Office who has experienced the animal's head returning to China, believes that more and more cultural relics that have been lost overseas have gradually returned in recent years, and the essence is that the national strength is gradually strong and the folk force is booming。

　　Zhou Shuangcheng said, "In fact, this folk collection is also a kind of cultural relic protection, and it is definitely playing an immeasurable role.。”
