Emperor Qianlong’s inspection tours in Kiangnan (the south of Yangtze River) are the most remarkable among all the tours by the emperors in the past dynasties, of which the high frequency, the large scale, the significant impact and the wide spread in the later ages are indeed unprecedented in the history of China. During the inspection tours, Qianlong had commanded the painters to paint Kiangnan garden, landscapes which were extensively imitated in North imperial palace. The extensive imitation had injected new vitality for the Royal Garden. At the same time, it also promoted the shaping and transmission of Kiangnan image. Which was the purpose of these imitation? The imperial “audio-visual enjoyment” or administration of officials and livelihood? On this point, Qianlong himself also had constantly been looking for a reasonable explanation to this paradox.
