On the Political and Cultural Construction of the Qing Emperors'Eastern Inspection Tour to Shengjing and the"Fundamental Place"of Manchuria
Shengjing was the fundamental place of the Qing Dynasty.The four Qing emperors of Kangxi,Qianlong,Jiajing and Daoguang have made some ten inspection tours to Shengjing in history.With the help of the eastern tour ceremony,the rulers of the Qing Dynasty created a cultural grand ceremony of"worshiping the foundation of the dynasties'prosperity",so as to promote the political identity of integration of the nation with home,and advocate the political concept of"worshiping the ancestors"and"holy filial piety".A series of ceremonies also contain the purpose of leading the national ritual system,creating a sacred space,and interpreting the legitimacy of the regime.Moreover,the practice of paying homage to meritorious officials,pacifying and controlling the Mongolian clans and reviewing the Eight Banner troops indicates that the eastern tour not only focuses on ritual activities,but also has a powerful force to publicly preach and promote the unification ideology.
