The Secrets of the Forbidden City
I believe many friends have visited the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City was originally called the Forbidden City. is the essence of ancient Chinese palace architecture. It is the largest and most well-preserved wooden structure in the world. One of the ancient buildings, it is also known as the top of the five major palaces in the world. It is a national five-A-level tourist attraction. Every year, an endless stream of people visit the Forbidden City. Although the Forbidden City is now a tourist attraction for everyone to visit, There are still many unopened places. It is understood that these unopened places are due to the age and some of the facilities are too old, so it is not convenient to open, but is this really the case? As the most well-preserved palace, the Forbidden City has experienced 24 emperors. According to rumors, there are many secrets buried in the Forbidden City. People who knew these secrets were said to have been wiped out. So what kind of secret is worth such a big fight? Woolen cloth? Let’s enter today’s topic
Zhenfeijing legend
We all know that the Forbidden City was built during the construction period of Zhudi . It is very large, and 300,000 people have been mobilized to build. It is said that the preliminary preparations alone lasted for 11 years. The stone and wood used were all transported from all over the country, and it took a full 14 years to complete the construction. The Forbidden City covers an area of 720,000 square meters and is said to have 9,999 rooms. The Forbidden City has experienced two dynasties in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and 24 emperors lived here. In ancient times, the Forbidden City was a royal forbidden area.Ordinary people have no chance to get close to the Forbidden City, and people in the Forbidden City can't get out. With the reform and opening up, China's economy has developed rapidly, and the tourism industry has also flourished. Therefore, the Forbidden City has been opened to the public. It has become a tourist attraction that Chinese people must check in. The rumors about the Forbidden City over the years have been increasing year by year, especially the spiritual rumors in the restricted area, such as the famous "Zhen Fei Well" incident. Zhen Fei is Guangxu. A concubine of the emperor was loved by Emperor Guangxu because of her outstanding appearance. Until the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi took Emperor Guangxu to escape. Before leaving, he ordered an eunuch named Cui Yugui. Concubine Zhen Zhen was thrown alive into a well inside Zhenshun Gate and drowned for the reason that she was "too beautiful for fear of being insulted by foreigners." The Concubine Zhen was only 24 years old.
Later, after the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to Beijing, she felt bad, and ordered her to pull her concubine from the well. At this time, the concubine Zhen had been soaking in the well for a full year. I know how tragic it is. This is only one ten thousandth of the secrets of the Forbidden City. The most mysterious thing is the relationship with the Yuan Dynasty. There is a record in history books. Before the Ming Dynasty became Beijing, the former Yuan Dynasty The capital of China is also in Beijing, but there is no trace of the Yuan Dynasty palace in Beijing. Is there no palace in the Yuan Dynasty? This is of course impossible, so where is the palace of the Yuan Dynasty? We all know that the Forbidden City was built in the Ming Dynasty for 14 years. Naturally, it cannot be a legacy of the Yuan Dynasty. The problem of Yuan Dynasty palaces also troubles archaeologists. It is said that a floor tile repair in the Forbidden City seems to have surfaced the Yuan Dynasty palace. , What's going on? It turned out that in 1976, the managers of the Forbidden City decided to carry out a thorough repair of the Forbidden City. During the repair process, the maintenance personnel found that there was a crack in a floor tile at the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After the personnel opened the floor tiles carefully, they found that there was a layer of floor tiles under the floor tiles. At first, the maintenance personnel did not think too much, but they did not expect that after the second floor tiles were opened, there was actually another layer underneath, which was dug down layer by layer. Fifteen floors were dug out.
These floor tiles are arranged in a mixed manner,It seems extremely weird. This obviously does not conform to the principle of architecture . At this time, the maintenance staff feel that something is wrong. Who would lay such multiple layers of floor tiles? So the maintenance staff hurriedly reported the news to the archaeologists. After the archaeologists used professional tools to open all the floor tiles, everyone was dumbfounded by the scene below. There were densely packed porcelain fragments under the floor tiles, which was found after inspection. These porcelain pieces are all defective products at that time, some are missing, and some have wrong patterns. Porcelain in ancient palaces is specially customized, even if it is defective, it is impossible to go to the people. , So after inspection, these defective products were buried in the ground, so there is nothing strange about it, but why it seems that the ground found traces of the Yuan Dynasty? Follow us a little bit and then look down.
The secret of the underground of the Forbidden City
found that there is nothing under the Forbidden City, but the experts discovered that after three pairs of underground soil The layers of floor tiles have different geological structures, which seem to come from three different dynasties, but the Forbidden City has only experienced two dynasties. If so, will there be traces of the Yuan Dynasty? Holding this conjecture, the archaeologists immediately launched an investigation. As expected, after a lot of searching, they finally found a large number of Ding kilns under the floor tiles at the entrance of " Longzongmen". Fragments of white porcelain bowls, fragments of black plum vases from Cizhou kilns, etc. These porcelain pieces and tile inclusions were also dated at the latest in the Yuan Dynasty. This discovery shocked archaeologists. Could it be that they have been searching for it over the years? Is Dayuan Palace here? But why did Ming Taizu Zhu Di need to spend so much time on laying so many layers of floor tiles on it? After careful inspection, the archaeologists sighed with disappointment. It turns out that the multi-layered floor tiles are just a protective measure. At that time, Zhu Di was very careful. In order to prevent assassins, he dug a tunnel to assassinate himself , I ordered people to lay many layers of floor tiles,It is said that all those who participated in the construction will be wiped out, so that no one will know the secret.
I thought that because of the discovery of floor tiles, I would be able to find the palace of the Yuan Dynasty, but the experts did not do so. So how do you explain these Yuan Dynasty porcelains? Where did the palace of the Yuan Dynasty go? Why are there three generations of geological structures in the Forbidden City? Although the clues of the floor tiles are not available, I took archaeological experts to find the palace of the Yuan Dynasty. However, due to the discovery of porcelain, the experts felt that the palace of the Yuan Dynasty might be in the Forbidden City. Jingshan Park seems to have found the remains of the Yuan Dynasty palace. Anyone who knows Zhu Di knows that Zhu Di hated the Yuan Dynasty to the extreme, so when he became the throne, he began to build his own palace, not only razed the Yuan Dynasty palace On the flat ground, the waste soil and other debris dug up during the construction of the palace were piled up behind. Over time, a hill was formed. This may be the origin of Jingshan Park, and part of the Forbidden City was also built on top of the Yuan Dynasty palace. The Ming Dynasty will always step on the Yuan Dynasty on the soles of its feet. As a result, the three-layered geological structure under the Forbidden City seems to have been fully explained. Then, is the secret of the Forbidden City simply uncovered? What are the ulterior motives in those unopened places? Long press the like, let’s look down
Lenggong where supernatural events frequently occur
Friends who have been to the Forbidden City know that a large part of the Forbidden City is sealed Visitors are not allowed to enter these places. These places are locked by long iron chains. You can see from the tiny cracks in the door that they are very tattered. Obviously they have never been opened before, and they are still the same as they were back then. The heart is always strong. The more mysterious the place, the more curiosity it can arouse people's curiosity. Facing such a mysterious forbidden zone, everyone is eager to know what is inside, why can't it be opened up? If it is as the official said, because it has not been repaired, then after so many years, hasn't it been repaired? The area of the restricted area has reached half of the total area of the Forbidden City.Even if it can't be repaired all, part of it should be repaired, right? However, these restricted areas have never been opened, and there is no shadow of workers going in for repairs. As a result, rumors about the restricted areas of the Forbidden City have intensified. Some people say that the name of the Forbidden City is inferential, like the Daming Palace built in the Yuan Dynasty. It was replaced by the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Di built the Forbidden City and named it Ganqing Palace, it was later replaced by the Qing Dynasty. In addition to this rumor, there are many people who say that the Forbidden City has very terrifying spiritual events. Many people seem to have seen the eunuchs and palace ladies in the restricted area of Beijing, and some even said that they have heard court music.
It seems to Yun Fei that these mysterious rumors are almost impossible. The supernatural incidents seem to be stories made up by people out of curiosity. For example, Lenggong, one of the restricted areas, is not The opening may be due to the fact that Lenggong has been a dilapidated and cold place since ancient times. The rooms that have been dilapidated a hundred years ago have now become high-risk buildings. If they are opened rashly, the personal safety of tourists may be greatly threatened. For example, the Changchun Palace where the former Empress Dowager Cixi lived was open for people to visit at the beginning. Later, the floor inside the house began to creak and the wood was too decayed. For the sake of safety for tourists, it also In order to better protect the Forbidden City, it had to be closed. The Forbidden City has a history of more than 600 years now. It has witnessed the prosperity and decline of my country's feudal dynasty. It can be said that every brick and tile inside has been weather-beaten. Now its status in our country is more than just a historical building. , It is a symbol of our Chinese nation. Although there are still many unsolved mysteries in the Forbidden City, we should not add unnecessary and spiritual colors to it, but should be full of respect and see this magnificent The historical significance and cultural value of the building, friends, do you think that under the 15th floor of the Forbidden City, is it the Yuan Dynasty palace or nothing?
