Renshou Hall of the Summer Palace

Qingyi Garden was called the Qinzheng Hall, which was built in the fifteenth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1750), burned down by the British and French forces in the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), and rebuilt in the twelfth year of Guangxu (1886), taking the meaning of "benevolent longevity" in the Analects, and renamed the Renshou Hall. This is the place where Cixi and Guangxu stayed in the garden to govern the court, receive congratulations and receive foreign envoys, and is the main building of the Summer Palace's administrative area. In 1898, Emperor Guangxu summoned Kang Youwei, the leader of the reformist faction, here, to open the prelude to the reform of the reform faction.
