The origin of the name

Lizheng, from the book of changes: "the sun and the moon are beautiful in the sky", which means the door is aboveboard. Because the feudal emperors of our country all claimed to be the son of heaven, they named the main gate as the Li main gate. In the history of our country, the main gate of Beijing Imperial City in Yuan Dynasty was once called Li main gate, and it was renamed Zhengyang gate in Ming Dynasty. Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty named the main entrance of the summer resort and the main palace Lizhengmen, which indicated that it was as important a place for political activities as the imperial city. In front of the Lizheng gate and above the central entrance, there is a stone plaque of "Lizheng gate" inscribed by Qianlong in Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Uighur and Tibetan characters, which is the symbol of China's unified multi-ethnic country. A poem written by Emperor Qianlong in the 19th year of Qianlong is engraved on the forehead to the north of Zhongmen

The rock city is full of neon and golden soup, and the door is opened to the afternoon sun. The new title of the two words is Li Zheng, and Che Shu Heng is here.

Chengde is located in the north of Chengde City, Hebei Province, the people's Republic of China. It was first built in 1703 and went through three emperors of Qing Dynasty: Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong. It took 89 years to complete. It is the place for the emperors of Qing Dynasty to spend summer and deal with government affairs. It is a famous Imperial Palace in ancient China. In December 1994, the summer resort and its surrounding temples (formerly known as Rehe Palace) were listed on the world cultural heritage list. On May 8, 2007, Chengde Mountain Resort and its surrounding temples were officially approved as a national 5A scenic spot by the National Tourism Administration. Summer resort is a famous ancient imperial palace in China. It was first built in 1703, the 42nd year of Kangxi reign, and completed in 1792, the 57th year of Qianlong reign. It lasted 89 years. Covering an area of 5.64 million square meters, the summer resort is the largest existing classical Royal Garden in China, with a total of 10000 meters of winding palace walls around the resort. It's twice the size of the summer palace and eight Beihai parks. Compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing, the summer resort is the largest ancient imperial palace in China, which is characterized by simple and elegant countryside, natural landscape and the scenery of the South and north of the Yangtze River. The summer resort and its surrounding temples are closely related to each other, and at the same time, they have a strong contrast of different styles. The summer resort is simple and elegant, and its surrounding temples are resplendent. This is one of the important measures taken by the Qing emperor to deal with ethnic relations. Due to the historical and cultural heritage of many groups, the summer resort and its surrounding temples have become one of the national key cultural relics protection units, the national top ten scenic spots, and 44 scenic spots protection areas. As a result, Chengde has become one of the first batch of 24 historical and cultural cities in China. The summer resort, together with the summer palace in Beijing, the Humble Administrator's garden in Suzhou and the Liuyuan garden in Suzhou, which are the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, is known as the four famous gardens in China.

According to research, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403-1424), Persian (today's Iran) envoys paid homage to Beijing and worshipped pomegranates. Zhu Di, the founder of Ming Dynasty, was very fond of this kind of fruit with full grains and sweet and sour taste. It made people store the seeds of pomegranate well for planting in the coming year. But the messenger told the Emperor Yongle that pomegranate could not bear fruit by planting its seeds, but by cutting its branches from the robust mother plant to breed. The next year, Persian envoys specially sent people to Beijing to teach pomegranate cultivation techniques, and brought dozens of cultivated pomegranate seedlings. The imperial court set up a royal orchard about 20 miles outside the Lizhengmen (later renamed Zhengyangmen) to plant pomegranates for the royal family, making it the earliest pomegranate garden in Beijing. Every autumn, the red pomegranate will be sent to the palace. More than 100 years later, a settlement was formed near pomegranate garden, which is called "pomegranate village". During the reign of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty, pomegranate garden was abandoned, but the name of pomegranate village was still used.
