Nanyuan used to be the royal hunting garden in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, covering an area of 21 square kilometers, which is three times the area of old Beijing. Because Manchuria is a riding and shooting nation, emperors of Ming and Qing dynasties went hunting in Nanyuan every spring. Therefore, many stories about the royal struggle for power have been circulated here, and the struggle for the throne of Xianfeng brothers is one of them.

in the early Qing dynasty, more than 1 years from Taizu Nurhachi to Emperor Kangxi was a crucial period for establishing political power, quelling rebellion and restoring economy. The struggle for imperial power was therefore extremely fierce. After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he learned a lesson from his personal experience of competing for the throne and created a "secret storage" system. It is to hide the imperial edict in the box and put it on the "fair and square" plaque in Ganqing Palace. It was not until the emperor died that the imperial minister * * * opened it and publicly announced who would succeed to the throne.

This method is very clever, which makes all the princes who are interested in the throne have hope, and will try their best to shape their image with the standards of emperors, hoping to win the favor of their fathers. This eased the struggle for the throne a lot. After Yongzheng, after Qianlong and Jiaqing, the throne reached Daoguang. Daoguang * * * has nine sons. At the age of 64, three of them died young, one was adopted by the prince, and three were under 6 years old. Only the 14-year-old Fourth Prince Yi Yi and the 13-year-old Sixth Prince Yi Xin were able to compete for the throne.

among the princes, only these two brothers have the closest relationship. They studied and practiced martial arts together since childhood. The two brothers not only grew up to be young talents who were familiar with classics, verses and poems, and were good at riding and shooting, but also worked together to create 28 styles of marksmanship and 18 styles of knife cutting, which made Emperor Daoguang very pleased. When the Fourth Prince was 1 years old, his mother, Empress Xiao Quancheng, died suddenly, and he was raised by the Sixth Prince's mother Xiao Jinggui. The two brothers have deeper feelings, like a mother. The two brothers have a good relationship, but it is also unfortunate, because there is only one throne. Who can be the heir to the throne? There are many stories about Daoguang's establishment of a reservoir, among which "hunting in Nanyuan, hiding others and showing benevolence" is one. According to legend, in his later years, Daoguang ordered the princes to hunt in Nanyuan with him to test his riding and shooting abilities. The Six Princes were superior in martial arts and gained the most prey in hunting. While the fourth prince stood by without firing an arrow. It turned out that the Fourth Prince knew that he was not as good as the Sixth Prince in riding and shooting, and asked his teacher Du Shoutian to come up with a brilliant idea beforehand. Du Shoutian, who is good at trying to figure out Daoguang's psychology, said, Brother, don't shoot one shot and one arrow, and he promised that his men would not catch animals. If the emperor asks the reason, you can say that it's the time when birds and animals are born in spring, and you don't have the heart to hurt them, and you don't want to compete with your brothers in this way. The fourth prince followed the plan, and sure enough, Daoguang was very happy and exclaimed, This is what a man with an imperial heart said!

As a result, it can be imagined that Xianfeng succeeded to the throne smoothly and became the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. August 24th, 25 is the 2th anniversary of the return of China's rare deer, Elk, from Wubang Temple in England. For this reason, Nanhaizi Elk Garden in Beijing has newly built a memorial park for the return of elk, and the recently completed monument "Autumn Wind in the South", one of the ten scenic spots in Yanjing, has kicked off the commemoration of the return of elk.

"autumn wind in the south" refers to Nanhaizi in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is located in the southern suburbs of Beijing, covering an area of 21 square kilometers, which is three times the area of old Beijing. It is the largest and longest-lasting royal hunting ground in ancient Beijing. In ancient South China Sea, springs, lakes and marshes were dotted with rivers. Such as Xiaolong River, Fenghe River, Liangshui River and rivers, springs and lakes such as Yimuquan, Dabaozi, Shuangpaozi, Houpaozi and Sanhaizi have been preserved to this day. Abundant underground water sources, moderate water and heat conditions and good ecological environment make the ancient Nanhaizi area a beautiful tourist and hunting place in the suburbs of Beijing. Why is it called Nanhaizi? In the north of our country, people often call large areas of stagnant lakes and marshes Haizi, such as the Three Seas in Beijing, and Beihai Zi (i.e. Jishuitan) in the north of the Forbidden City. During the Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, when dismounting and flying in Yuan Dynasty to build a royal garden, in order to distinguish it from Beihai in the north of the city, this area was called Nanhaizi.

After Emperor Yongle moved to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty, he carried out large-scale hunting and training activities in Nanhaizi every year. Over the next 1 years, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty built large-scale construction in Nanhaizi, successively building the old yamen prefect's office, the new yamen prefect's office, the Guandi Temple, the Lingtong Temple, the town of Kannonji and other buildings. In accordance with the 24 solar terms, the "Twenty-four Gardens" were built, and more than 1, fishermen were sent to raise and guard animals such as elk and antelope. After many times of construction and renovation in the Ming Dynasty, Nanhaizi has become a famous royal garden in the southern suburbs of Beijing. Haizi is full of green grass and flowers are blooming; Luming Literature Shuangliu, Huxiao Eagle Platform. Every autumn, clear clouds and green trees, the fruit is red and yellow, and it has its own characteristics; Known as one of the "Ten Scenes of Yanjing", it is called "the autumn wind in the south". Li Dongyang, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote the poem "Autumn Wind in the South", which vividly depicts the beautiful scenery of Nanhaizi.
