Editor's note: An overseas buyer donated Tiger Ying, a bronze ware of the Western Zhou Dynasty (c. 11th century-771BC), to the National Cultural Heritage Administration in September after buying it at a price of 410,00($517,000) in an auction organized by Canterbury Auction Galleries in the United Kingdom in April. The administration sent the bronze ware to the National Museum of China on Thursday. People's Daily comments:

Tiger Ying is one of only seven bronze ware of its kind produced in the Western Zhou Dynasty existing today.

It was one of the cultural relics looted by the British and French troops from the Old Summer Palace, or Yuanmingyuan, in Beijing on Oct 6, 1860.
