Yun Guang”. “Yun” was a kind of fragrant weed. In ancient times, it
was usually used as termite repellent in rooms where books were
stored.In the Emperor Qianlong’s reign, the purpose of the hall was
for collecting books. Later it was converted into a residence. There
used to be the residence of Guangxu’s Empress Longyu, and his favorite concubine Zhenfei.
(In the Hall of Happiness and Longevity)
This group of courtyard is the Hall of Happiness and Longevity. It
was the major architectural structure in the living quarters and the
residence of Empress Dowager Cixi. The whole compound was basically
made of wood, which is ideal for ventilation and lighting. With its
quiet and tasteful layout, the Hall of Happiness and Longevity made
life very easy and convenient. In front of the Hall of Happiness and
Longevity there is a huge rock placed in the middle of this
courtyard named “Qing Zhi Xiu” and nicknamed as “Family Bankruptcy
Rock”. This huge rock was discovered in Fangshan District by a Ming
official Mi Wanzhong. He wanted to transport it to his own garden
“Shaoyuan”. In the old days, transporting such rock was very
difficult. After spending all his money to ship it, he still could
not succeed in doingthis. The big rock was then left on the
roadside somewhere near Liangxiang County, 30 kilometers southwest
of Beijing. Hence it was nicknamed “Family Bancruptcy Rock”. Later
Emperor Qianlong discovered it and transported to the Garden of
Clear Ripples and laid in front of the Hall of Happiness and
Longevity. The colorful glass chandeliers hanging inside the hall
was introduced from Germany in 1903. It is one of the earliest
electric lights in China.
(In front of the Gate of Inviting the Moon of the Long Corridor)
Ladies and Gentlemen, you may have visited some of the best museums
in the world, such as the Louvre in France and the Museum of Great
Britain. Now I will show you a special gallery in the palace—the
Long Corridor. In 1990, the Long Corridor was listed in the Guinness
Book of World Records as ‘the longest painted corridor’ in the
world’. It would be a pity if weleave the Summer Palace without
visiting the Long Corridor and the Marble Boat. Now, here we go, the
Long Corridor first!
