Résumé en anglais
The Mountain Resort of palaces and gardens at Chengde with its Outlying Temples is thelargest existing imperial palace-garden and temple complex in China, which was built between 1703 and 1792 in Chengde of Hebei Province. By integrating elements of Han, Mongolian and Tibetan architectural art and culture the Outlying Temples crystallize the achievements of cultural exchanges and integration among different ethnic groups in the course of development of Chinese architecture. Important historical events of the Qing dynasty took place here, and the historical sites and objects have witnessed the consolidation and development of China as a unitary multi-ethnic state.
The Mountain Resort and its Outlying Temples constitute a giant Mandala pattern, designed by EmperorQianlong in Qing dynasty. It is not only the paradise of Tibetan Buddhism Sumeru, but also the democratic world of the various folk gods believed by the ethnic minorities; It is not only the political strategy of the stability of the frontier minority nationalities, but also the positive practice of the political ideals of the emperors and the people; It is not only a reflection of human understanding of the universe,but also a longing for a harmonious natural environment; It not only through the urban planning and design to establish a material space order, but also through the psychological guiding role at the sametime to establish a human spiritual space.
