This thesis focuses on the Jian-Fu Palace Garden of Forbidden City which builds in Qianlong Reign. In order to restructure the historical positioning and orthodox image, the Manchu ruling class uses the vested power to conduct a series of systems: including the new policy, etiquette education system and space construction.

It is also part of an important political strategy and serving as the emblem of legitimate imperial succession. When Qianlong was a prince, the space used of Jian-Fu Palace Garden was given by emperor Yongzheng.

Therefore, Qianlong has special emotion in this space, and the Jian-Fu Palace Garden also has special links with Qianlong Reign’s political and cultural tendency.
