颐和园养云轩未罹火患

Yangyun-xuan (Pavilion) in the Summer Palace Was Not Burned to the Ground

咸丰十年(1860年)十月,英法联军兵临京都,“三山五园”同罹火难,清漪园内一片瓦砾。光绪十四年(1888年)二月,光绪帝正式下谕在清漪园废墟上营建颐和园。但颐和园内究竟是否还留存有清漪园时期的古建筑,这一问题变得愈来愈模糊难识,笔者通过考察和分析认为,颐和园内养云轩当属清漪园幸存的古建筑之一。

In August-September 1860, asthe invading Anglo-French Expeditionary Forces approached Beijing the . conflgration thatrazed thepalace garden complexes saw Qingyi-yuan (the Qingyi Garden palacecomplex) reduced to rubble. At the beginning of 1888, 1887 the Guangxu Emperor formerly issued a proclamation calling for the reconstruction of the Yihe-yuan on the ruins of the Qingyi-yuan, and after nine years an exquisite complex of landscaped gardens and 3,000 rooms of palace buildings were completed. In this process of destruction and re- building, it has long remained a mystery whether any buildings of the original Qingyi Garden palace complex remained intact and this topic haslong called out for research. The author’s own research shows thatYangyun-xuan pavilion was one of the buildings of the original Qingyi-yuan that survived to be incorporated into the new Yihe- yuan complex.
