Chengde, also known as Emperor Inheriting Heaven's Virtue —— Interpretation of "The First Emperor Inherited Heaven and Earth's Grace and Educated Everything"

Chengde was first used as a place name in Qing Dynasty, but it refers to Fengtian (now Shenyang). Before the Qing dynasty entered the customs, it built its capital in Fengtian. In the third year of Kangxi (1664), the Qing government named Fengtian Chengde and set up Chengde County, inheriting the meaning of the ancestor Deze.

In the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733), Yong Zhengdi followed his father Kangxi's practice of naming Fengtian as Chengde, named the Jehol at that time as Chengde, and changed the Jehol Hall to Chengde House. This move also shows the intention of accepting Deze.

The word "Emperor inherits Heaven's virtue" further shows Yong Zhengdi's concept and vision of governing the country. Among them, the word "emperor" represents the emperor and symbolizes the dignity and authority of imperial power; The word "Cheng" continues the meaning of "Chengde", that is, inheritance and development; The word "Tiande" symbolizes the kindness of heaven and earth to educate all things, and it is the embodiment of the emperor's awe and gratitude to heaven and earth.
