What is the origin of Yuanmingyuan?

Yuanmingyuan was named after Emperor Kangxi. The three-character plaque of Michelle Ye Imperial Book hangs on the lintel of Yuanmingyuan. Yongzheng emperor has an explanation for the name of this garden. It is said that the word "Yuanming" means: "The rounder is fascinated, and the gentleman is also in the middle; Bright and shining, the wisdom of talents is also. " It means "round" means that a person's moral character is perfect and beyond ordinary people; "Ming" refers to bright, perfect and wise political achievements. This can be said to be the ideal standard for the ruling class to flaunt the wisdom of the monarch in feudal times.

1, "Yuanming" is a Buddhist name that yongzheng emperor has been using since the time of the Prince. Yong Zhengdi believes in Buddhism and has a deep study of Buddhism. In the pattern of Buddhist sects in the early Qing Dynasty, yongzheng emperor, as a very important figure in the history of Buddhist development, claimed to be a master of Zen as a "master of the world" and exerted influence on Buddhism, and strongly advocated the unity of the three religions and the purity of Zen. When Emperor Kangxi gave this garden to Yin Zhen (later yongzheng emperor), the name of the pro-theme garden "Yuanmingyuan" was taken from the Buddhist name "Yuanming" of Yongzheng.

Yuanmingyuan is located in the northwest suburb of Beijing, adjacent to the Summer Palace. It consists of Yuanmingyuan Garden, Changchun Garden and Wanchun Garden, also known as Yuanming Three Gardens. Yuanmingyuan is one of the famous royal gardens in Qing Dynasty, with an area of more than 5,200 mu and more than 150 views. The building area is 1.6 million square meters, which is known as "the garden of ten thousand gardens". The royal family of the Qing Dynasty came here every midsummer, so Yuanmingyuan was also called the Summer Palace.

3. Yuanmingyuan was burned by the British and French allied forces in 1860. According to rough statistics, the number of looted cultural relics is about150,000, ranging from bronze ritual vessels in the pre-Qin period to famous paintings and calligraphy in the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties and various rare treasures. 1900 Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and the royal garden in the western suburbs was robbed again. During its stay in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it was damaged to varying degrees. Finally, during the Cultural Revolution, the Yuanmingyuan was also destroyed.
