What it means

harmony; ease

In this place

In 雍和宫: the “雍” of harmony — a Qing court word for balanced rule, not casual chill.

Remember this

雍 opens the name like a reign slogan: harmony first, then 和 (ease) stacked beside it. On the gate plaque it signals imperial pedigree — this was a prince’s house before the monks moved in.
