After Hongxiao's death in 1778, the historical records of Chengzeyuan and its owners were interrupted for thirty or forty years, until between the fifteenth year of Jiaqing (1810) and the third year of Daoguang (1823), when the co-founder of the university, Soo Qiuluo Yinghe (1771-1840), was given chengze garden by the emperor, and there was no accurate historical record. In this period of history, the name of the garden was changed from Xiaohongqiao Garden and Hongqiao Villa to Yilu Garden and Chenghui Garden.
Yinghe was born in the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong (1771), his young name was Shi Tong,Zi Shuqin (字树琴), trumpet Xu Zhai (号煦斋), and a Manchurian Zhengbaiqi man. Yinghe can read at the age of 5, can draw a bow and shoot arrows at the age of 9, and can write poetry at the age of 12, which can be described as a standout among the eight flags. As an adult, Yinghe relied on his outstanding talents, and became an official to hubu Shangshu, an assistant university scholar, a military minister, and on his fiftieth birthday, he was also given a birthday by the Jiaqing Emperor, and he was the most prominent eunuch in the Qing Dynasty Suo Qiluo family, and posterity honored him as "Yingzhongtang".
Sokollow Yinghe (1771-1840)
The Suo Family is a famous cultural family of the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty. Yinghe this branch has the reputation of "four generations and five Hanlin". In addition to Yinghe, his father Debao (1719-1789), the eldest son Kuizhao (1790-1842), and the second son Kuiyao (1791-?) ), the eldest grandson Xi Zhi (1809-?) They were all Qing Dynasty soldiers, and they were all selected for Hanlin. In the more than three hundred years of the Qing Dynasty, there were only five families of the "Fourth Hanlin", the remaining four were Han, and the Yinghe family was also known as the "first family in Manchuria", and the famous Qing calligrapher and the eleventh son of Qianlong, Prince Cheng, also inscribed the plaque of "Grandchildren Father and Son Brother Hanlin".
In his later years, Yinghe was "burdened by the mausoleum incident", that is, in September of the eighth year of Daoguang (1828), the Qing Dynasty's Baohuayu Wannian Jidi Mausoleum Underground Palace was infiltrated with water, and Empress Xiaomucheng's Zi Palace was soaked with water, and Yinghe and his family who supervised the project were all convicted. The famous historian Yao Ying (1785-1853) of the Qing Dynasty wrote an article entitled "A Small Record of Public Knowledge of Xu Zhaiying", which recorded this event in detail. Originally, Yinghe advocated frugality, and took the funeral of Emperor Wen of Han as an example, which was quite in line with the wishes of the Daoguang Emperor and decreed that he would follow suit. In the seventh year of Daoguang (1827), the project was completed, saving a total of 300,000 taels of labor costs, but the next year there was a water leakage accident in the underground palace. The Daoguang Emperor was furious and dismissed Yinghe and his eldest son, Kuizhao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, and Kui Yao, the second son, the envoy (in charge of internal and external zhangquan and the sealing appeal of his subjects), and exiled him to the city of Bukui in Heilongjiang, that is, Qiqihar, without family property. When raiding the family, it was found that its wealth was not more than tens of thousands, and the Yinghe family was not only regarded as a Manchu cultural family, but also a family of honest officials.
In November of the same year (1828), the Daoguang Emperor gave the garden to Saltuq Changling (1758-1838) for his efforts to quell the Rebellion in Xinjiang.D.K. Chang Ling was a meritorious minister who experienced the three dynasties of Qianlong, Jiaqing, and Daoguang, and successively served as a co-founder university scholar, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, a minister of military aircraft, and a governor of Yungui, and his achievements were even higher than that of his father, Saltuk Nayantai. In the sixth year of Daoguang (1826), he became a general at the age of 68, quelled the rebellion, and two years later he was victorious in quelling the rebellion, not only at the end of the year he was awarded the title of Second Class Wei Yong Duke, hereditary resignation, conferred the title of former minister of the imperial court, and in May he was promoted to Taibao again, giving three eyes and flowers, and offering portraits in the Purple Light Pavilion. The Three-Eyed Flower Plume was also a very high honor for the Qing Dynasty, and it was set up during the Qianlong period, and only 7 people in the Qing Dynasty, including Changling, received this honor. In the seventeenth year of Daoguang (1837), on the occasion of his eightieth birthday, he was promoted to a first-class duke and hereditary replacement. Daoguang died in the eighteenth year (1838) at the age of changling, with the courtesy name "Wenxiang" and entered the Ancestral Hall of Xianliang, and his son Guilun (?) –1847) attacked the knighthood, but submitted the garden to the Ministry of the Interior.
In the same month, Yinghe's eldest son Kuizhao was rewarded with the garden. In order to express his gratitude to the emperor for his kindness, Kuizhao renamed Yilu Garden "Chenghui Garden".
In fact, as early as May of the eleventh year of Daoguang (1831), Yinghe's father and son were pardoned and returned to Beijing after two years of exile, and Yinghe was idle, and the eldest son Kuizhao was appointed as the minister in charge of the interior ministry, managing the affairs of Qingyi Garden, and was also appointed as the right attendant of the Ministry of Works. The second son, Kui Yao, was appointed as an attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and was also appointed as the right son of zhan shifu (in charge of the internal affairs of the emperor or the crown prince).
In the nineteenth year of Daoguang (1839), Chenghui Garden was taken back, and the following year Yinghe died at the age of 70, giving him the title of Sanpinqing. Yinghe had many regrets in his later years, but this also provided an opportunity for him to write articles. Yinghe's writings include the Enfutang Poetry Transcription and Notes, Chronology, bibliography, as well as "Bu Kui Chengfu", "Bu Kui JiLuo", "King Ding Spring and Autumn Left Biography Reader", "Qing Fen Lou Testament" and so on. Its calligraphy is also a family of its own, and it is on a par with the Prince of Cheng, Yong yao.
The Refusal of the Yinghe Family to marry Hezhen is also a good history. Eventually, Yinghe married Sakda (1767-1827), who was four years older than himself, and the couple had a good relationship. Sakda's character Introduction, the master of the Guan Sheng Pavilion, is also good at poetry and painting, especially good at finger painting. His sons Kuizhao and Kuiyao wrote few poems, both of whom participated in the revision of the Enfutang Self-determined Chronology, but only Kuizhao's "Longsha Chronicle Poems" and "Jaisu Lian yincao" survived.
