Kangxi built the summer resort just to escape the heat. What is its function?

As we all know, when the Qing emperor arrived in summer, he would go to the summer resort to escape the heat, and even his political affairs were handled here. The summer resort of the Qing Dynasty was located in Jehol Province at that time (now Chengde City, Hebei Province), so it was also called? Jehol Palace? 、? Summer Palace? .

The summer resort was built in the Kangxi dynasty. Emperor Kangxi was very satisfied with it and once praised it. In tens of thousands of leisure time, Leshan music is difficult to rest. ? After Qianlong ascended the throne, he repaired the summer resort and left his works here. It can be said that here, it also witnessed the history of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years.

So Kangxi built the summer resort just to escape the heat? What else can it do? To understand this problem, we need to understand why Kangxi chose to build a summer resort in Jehol. Let's take a look at the characteristics of Jehol.

First, the environment is beautiful.

Since it's all called? Summer resort? Does this mean meeting here first? Summer? How can we meet the requirements of summer vacation? On the one hand, it is natural that the weather should be suitable, on the other hand, natural resources should be rich.

The climatic conditions of Jehol are recorded in King James's Records of Jehol. Yin and yang are opposite, bright and beautiful, and the ground is the best. In the meantime, the spiritual realm is open and the weather is open. ? There is a southerly wind with moisture here in summer, so it is cool and can eliminate the hot air.

As for natural resources, it is recorded in Summer Resort: Jinshan hair pulse, warm and smooth spring; Clouds and valleys flow, and the stone pool is green. Broad grass and fertilizer do not harm Tianlu; The summer monsoon is refreshing and pleasant to recuperate. ? It shows that there are mountains and waters, as well as various animals and plants, which can be described as a collection of natural beauty. So it is an excellent choice to use Jehol as a summer resort.

Second, military strongholds.

Jehol is located in the northeast of Hebei Province. What is its geographical location? There are Mongolia in the north, Hui Hui in the right, Tongliao in the left and the world in the south. ? That's why Kangxi set his sights here. This is the painstaking efforts of Emperor Kangxi, and people who go to Japan's summer resort are particularly taboo. ?

So for Kangxi, it is not only a summer resort, but also a military stronghold. So Kangxi not only spent the summer here, but also built the famous Mulan paddock. On the one hand, you can come here for summer vacation and training, on the other hand, it is convenient to patrol the north and deter the enemy.

Third, national characteristics.

By the Kangxi dynasty, although the Qing court had begun to use Chinese officials, the relationship between Manchu and Han was not very harmonious. Kangxi tried to enhance the sense of belonging of all ethnic groups by constantly improving the summer resort.

For example, when building the summer resort, Kangxi borrowed from the garden culture of the Han nationality, which made many scenic spots here full of the beauty of gardens with Han characteristics. In addition, there are buildings with national characteristics in the summer resort, such as? Waiba Temple? .

Waiba Temple? Puren Temple has Mongolian characteristics, Anyuan Temple has Xinjiang characteristics, and Putuo Zongcheng Temple has Tibetan characteristics. It can be seen that Kangxi intends to win over all ethnic groups through these architectural styles, which also represents his desire to unite all ethnic groups.

So what is the purpose of Kangxi's building a summer resort? In fact, by understanding the characteristics of Jehol, we have been able to spy a thing or two.

First of all, Kangxi wanted to come here to relieve the pressure. As we all know, people are easily upset in a hot environment. Especially when there are many things and the weather is still hot, people are not only fidgety, but also extremely inefficient. This is why Kangxi wanted to find a cool and beautiful place to work, as he himself said: even the rocks at four o'clock absolutely flowed out, which made me sad in my later years. ?

Secondly, the summer resort is a palace where the emperor meets foreign envoys every year. And Mulan paddock. Whenever foreign envoys come, the emperor will let the children of the Eight Banners imperial clan have a hunting competition. This is to examine everyone's martial arts, but the main idea is to show their strength in front of foreign envoys.

Finally, Kangxi hopes to promote the unity of all ethnic groups through the summer resort, so he will refer to the architectural styles of all ethnic groups when building the summer resort. Later, it did achieve its goal. For example, during the Qianlong period, there were 6.5438+0.7 million people in the Turku Department. Not far away, Wan Li wanted to move eastward into the Qing Dynasty, but was blocked by Russia. They persisted in resisting, and finally only half of them came back. Gan Long was deeply moved, so he was in the summer resort. He was named Bart Roxey. Brave sweat? .

The summer resort witnessed the history of the Qing Dynasty, and two emperors, Jiaqing and Xianfeng, died successively. When the British and French allied forces attacked Beijing, Emperor Xianfeng fled here with a group of ministers and ratified several unequal treaties here. Even affect the historical process of China? Have a coup in mind? It also originated here.

The summer resort witnessed the rise and fall of the Qing Dynasty, and with the decline of the Qing Dynasty, it also declined. Fortunately, it is now protected and can continue to shine.
