The Qianlong Emperor said that he was a Ming Emperor throughout the ages, and some people questioned him: the Qing Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline from his late period. The kangxi and Yongzheng emperors created a great Qing dynasty with great national strength.
The Qianlong Emperor made six southern tours in his lifetime, and carefully studied the route of the Qianlong Southern Tour and found that he came to Haining, Zhejiang Province, six times, and four of them were stationed in the private garden of Chen Shikui in Haining, which was a very interesting phenomenon.

By the time Yongzheng ascended the throne, Chen Shiyi's son Chen Shiyi had already served as the governor of Shandong.
Folklore says that when Yongzheng was still the fourth brother, he gave birth to Hongli, but at that time, some people said that the newborn child of the fourth brother was a girl, and the Chen family in Haining also added a child, which was a boy, and the relationship between the two families was good, and it is said that the two families exchanged children.
Qianlong went down to Jiangnan and visited the mountains and rivers may be the main purpose, but he also wanted to inspect the Haitang project by the way. Therefore, qianlong went to Haining four times to inspect the Haitang project in the six times in Jiangnan. After arriving in the local area, it is naturally received by the officials or noble families of Haining.
