Do you know who made the national treasure panda go to the world? Hello everyone, I am the old night, the last episode took you to visit the inside of the Notre Dame Patriarchate, the history of this church can be traced back to 1839, the French Father Deye here missionary set up the church, when it was during the reign of the Taoguang emperor, it was the Qing Dynasty's 100-year ban on teaching soon after, The 100-year ban on teaching began in 1706 and ended in 1805. It was an order issued by Qing Shengzu Kangxi. It was simply said that because the Catholic word was stormed with the imperial criminals of our country, a 100-year ban was organized, although in 1839 it was more than 30 years after the end of the movement. But in fact, it is all superficial articles, to foreign people to see, highlighting the measurement of the Daqing country to accommodate Baichuan, in fact, the secret is still blocking the spread of Catholicism in China, so it is not difficult to understand why the church will be built in such a remote Dengchigou. You can see from my empty mirror. This church has another feature, that is, the main entrance of the church is not opened in the axis position of the building, but the chapel is on the side, and the other side is the courtyard. Why is the church such a layout? Here is a person to be mentioned. His name is Armand David, the fourth priest here. We are now in the historic pavilion in the courtyard of the church, and David is a legendary figure for China. During his 12 years of scientific research and missionary activities in China from 1862 to 1874, dozens of species of plants and animals were found and named here in Baoxing Dengchigou, including China's national treasure, the giant panda, and David brought the first living panda he captured to France. This is the first time the giant panda has gone from China to the world. The specimen is still treasured in the Paris Museum of Nature in France. After his death in France in 1900, the French Far East Church commemorates the priest who made a remarkable contribution to world biology. The church was expanded in 1902 and the Catholic Church in Dengchigou was renamed the Church of Our Lady of the Virgin, in return for the contribution of Armand David. So the church in Dengchigou has a special asymmetrical layout today. The next episode will take everyone to the panda base in the depths of Dengchigou to explore the bottom, let's see you next episode!
