I am new to Linux and Deepin, and I don't know that there is a "correct" folder for Wallpaper, but I will tell you what works.
I created a "Wallpaper" folder on the desktop. You could put this in your "ictures" folder if you want, but I chose to put it on the desktop, so I can change wallpaper with a minimum amount of hassle. One of the great sources for out of this world photographs is APOD (Astronomy Picture of the Day -- search for APOD for the URL). I'll leave copyright issues to you.
Whatever photograph or other image you want to use for wallpaper, just save it to the folder you've chosen for wallpaper. Then, open the folder, double click on the thumbnail and the photograph or image will open in Image Viewer. Right click on the image and select "Set as Wallpaper." You're done. If you need to manipulate the image, you can use GIMP, the open source Image Editor. I've saved all the images I'm using for wallpaper as jpegs.
If you followed what I wrote, then you'll realize you don't have to have images in any particular folder, and you could have images in many different folders, since the key is opening it in the Image Viewer and choosing "Set as Wallpaper."
So, the short instructions are: Double click on an image to get it to open in Image Viewer. Right click on the image and choose "Set as Wallpaper." Where you store the images is up to you.
I hope this works for you. I discovered that once I set an image as wallpaper, it appears in the wallpaper selection in the Personalization section of the Control Center.
PS You can create your own solid color wallpaper using an image editor. I just discovered that when I open GIMP in Deepin 2014, it immediately closes again. I don't know why, it worked fine once, but I'm having a lot of trouble with Deepin freezing, crashing, and otherwise misbehaving. I'm sure the Development Team is working hard to fix things, but from my brief experience with Deepin 2014 it seems to have more than its share of problems.
