Thousands of people come to the Square every day. It is the must place to visit in Beijing City. Then proceed to the Forbidden City, residence of the Emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are 6 main places and many small buildings, containing over 9000 rooms. After lunch process to Temple of Heaven, a place of prayer for Ming, Qing Emperors and a masterpiece of 15th century architecture. The Temple of Heaven is the most holy of Beijing's Imperial temples. For this is where the Emperor came every winter solstice to worship heaven and to solemnly pray for a good harvest. Since his rule was legitimised by a mandate from heaven, a bad harvest could be interpreted as his fall from heaven's favour and threaten the stability of his reign. So, it was not without a measure of self-interest that the Emperor fervently prayed for a very good crop. Day 3: Beijing (B/L) Morning highlight is the Great Wall - Mutianyu.

Emperor Qianlong
Art Appreciation Lecture Series 2016 Collectors & Collections: classical to contemporary Emperor Qianlong Jackie Menzies 6/7 April 2016 Lecture summary: Emperor Qianlong (1711-1799), reigned China 1736-1795 at a time of prosperity and territorial expansion. Augmenting the work of his father, Emperor Yongzheng 1722-1735, and grandfather, Emperor Kangxi 1662-1722, his long reign was the highpoint of the Qing dynasty (1644-1911). The Qing emperors were Manchus who keenly sought to absorb the traditions of the Ming Chinese they had defeated, as well as the various peoples of their border areas, most notably the Mongols and Tibetans. The core of the Qing conquest elite was comprised of households registered in the Eight Banners, military units that also became administrative units and ensured relative peace throughout the high point of Qing. Qing emperors ruled from the Forbidden City in Beijing, whilst also building summer palaces where they spent many months of each year, to escape the Beijing heat and to maintain sports such as hunting and archery, integral to their Manchu heritage. All emperors were diligent administrators, committed to understanding the cultures of the many people over whom they ruled. Qianlong identified himself as the ruler of five peoples: Manchus, Chinese, Mongols, Tibetans and Uighurs. Qianlong was a brilliant strategist, an exceptional scholar, a poet, and connoisseur. He understood that possession of the ancient imperial collections was seen as the legitimation of his own right to rule. Moreover, he amassed many works of art as a tribute to the magnificent, unique heritage successive generations of Chinese had created. Whilst caring for and cataloguing existing collections, Qianlong added a huge number of objects which he obtained through his own relentless demands on the Imperial workshops, as well as through gifts and tributes.

A Summary of the Spatial Construction of Soundscape in Chinese Gardens
Buenos Aires – 5 to 9 September, 2016 Acoustics for the 21st Century… PROCEEDINGS of the 22nd International Congress on Acoustics Soundscape and Holistic Analysis: Paper ICA2016-678 A summary of the spatial construction of soundscape in Chinese gardens Senqi Yang (a), Hui Xie(b), Huasong Mao(c), Tingting Xia(d), Yu Cheng(e) , Heng Li(f) (a) Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China, [email protected] (b) Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China, [email protected] (c) Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China, [email protected] (d) Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China, [email protected] (e) Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China, [email protected] (f) Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning, Chongqing University, China, [email protected] Abstract The Chinese garden is a landscape garden style that has evolved over three thousand years. An idealized miniature landscape was created by Chinese emperors, scholars, former government officials, and merchants to express the harmony that should exist between man and nature. As an important component of the Chinese garden, the soundscape can embody the artistic conception and design skills of garden designers. This paper aims to investigate the development and strategies of soundscape design in Chinese gardens, through a systematic review of famous soundscape attractions from the perspective of spatial construction. In total, 62 soundscape attractions met the inclusion criteria, comprising specific sound sources and receiver points. The soundscape design of Chinese gardens matured in the Qing dynasty (1636 AD-1912 AD), the last dynasty in China.

A collection can reveal its collector’s perception of the world by offering insight into the things the collector treas- ures and believes worth preserving. Although collecting is a phenomenon found at different levels of the society, the collecting of imperial households is a particularly interesting category as rulers’ visions for establishing collec- tions generally involve complicated political and cultural agendas. Studies of imperial collecting therefore can reveal many different facets of the social and political dimensions of the past.
