Gardening and Agricultural Application in Chengde Summer Mountain Resort

Chengde Summer Mountain Resort's agricultural practices during the reigns of Kangxi and Qianlong emperors highlight the cultural significance of agriculture in China's economy. The study reveals how gardening techniques and agricultural applications were integrated into imperial landscape design, emphasizing their role in sustaining national prosperity. By analyzing historical records and garden layouts, researchers demonstrate the resort's dual function as both a recreational space and an agricultural model, reflecting the era's economic priorities. This approach provides insight into the interplay between imperial governance, environmental management, and cultural heritage preservation.
