Is the Summer Palace so " school " ?

The baked wheaten cake that we say is round bright garden, generalized what outskirt does not have one escape by sheer luck on the west generally actually " 3 hill 5 garden " .

Alleged " 3 hill 5 garden " , those who point to is the Qing Yi garden that establishs on hill of 10 thousand birthday, sweet hill and jade spring hill and 3 hill (namely the Summer Palace) , Jing Yiyuan, Jing Mingyuan, still have the Chang Chunyuan around and circle in addition bright garden.

Since so much garden, why to just choose the Summer Palace to undertake rebuilding withholding up to now?

The empress of Xiaosheng kissing Mom that Qianlong gave orders to build him give presents of clear ripples garden 1750, last a period of time 12 years of complete. Be located in a circle bright garden on the west side, side of jade spring Shandong, cover an area of 242 hectare. The circle with baronial to dimensions photograph bright garden, clear ripples garden is not conspicuous, qianlong also is only now and then come stroll one stroll.

Treated take over the reins of government upon coming age of imperial big marriage together 1873, the first issuance order weighs Xiu Yuanming garden namely.

Delicate in health of foreign aggression of care of right now big clear home, national power, also be in on the place carry out new politics run a school factory, which where is the place that should spend money. Can be imagined the opposition that this devree suffers group of official. Meanwhile very dead did not happen again to death " Li Guangzhao " incident, this goods and collude of official of internal affairs government office, the timber that will use long garden shoddy, swindle and bluff, by publicly expose of Li Hongzhang behead.

By force of pressure Ci Xi is mixed treat together also abandoned repair circle the plan of bright garden, but the idea kind happiness that after all of provide for the aged wants to have a place won't be laid aside.

Experienced the serious blow of the Opium War twice, close the route that decayed big clear country must take classics military power, fuzhou boat politics school and school of Tianjin water division are built in succession.

Smooth mood 12 years (1886) in outskirt Kunming lake holds water on the west " water operates a school " , become the 3rd " naval school " . Delimit key, because Kunming lake water area is wide, embattle of appropriate platoon arms, maneuver drills. Prepare to construct at that time the Yi Zhu of naval goverment office in feudal China (Guang Xuqin dad) discuss with Li Hongzhang, act in a play in Kunming lake drill, imperial nature should be inspected, should inspect have to rest, want to rest to must have palace of course. This " satisfactory " the intent that cover catered to Ci Xi to build park again so. Do not go the seaside is versed in in a person lake maneuver naval battle, the hydrology astronomy condition of real naval battle is not had, prove with respect to enough this is the cover of a shining. In fact " water operates a school " term begins that day also is Qing Yi opens garden field that day.

The Zhu that it is Yi sits in, right it is Li Hongzhang

So round why does bright garden also have water area not to look for this excuse? Because this is nodded,be, the water system of bright garden has sufferred the circle play havoc with, large water area is done not have more, should say maneuver boat is not placed. Have a circle again bright garden covers an area of an area very big, calculate true mount a horse, with budget of the national power at that time, finance, the possibility of sodden end is great. It is repair Summer Palace also be alternative reforming, the move that return a top " divert navy military expenditure causes disastrous defeat of Jia Wuhai battle " bad name of through the ages, see the decayed shortsighted view of clear at that time the court of a feudal ruler, poor excessive is arrant.

1900 the Eight Power Allied Force again loot " 3 hill 5 garden " , ci Xi huntings on the west run road. Beginning is Russian, germany and Italy are later, be stationed in in the Summer Palace early or late arms a year, after all they also are being used, attaint is not very serious, it is knock off only the horn side the edge of a few buildings, content foray is little for certain inside not.

After coming back, Ci Xi costs silver again two have repair. Till announce all 3 years (1911) Pu Yi give up the throne, the Summer Palace served as Pu Yi's private property, 1924 the Summer Palace " receive homecoming to have " .

And round bright garden is another destiny completely. Suffer 2 degrees of catastrophe, year long disrepair, with each passing day decline, qing Ting lost pair of circles already completely the control of bright garden, bandit rogue uses the ancient wood name in garden to cultivate charcoal of buy in and sell at a profit, government of the Qing Dynasty name for the coastal provinces of Liaoning carries the stone inside garden to build a house.

So far, the Summer Palace also was become by the 3 hill of burn down the royal gardens that only reservation comes down in 5 garden.
