People have learned to avoid harm in order to survive and develop. However, due to the low productivity at that time, people still lacked effective means to subdue natural disasters, so they could only try to express their wishes from multiple aspects.
The special treatment of caissons in the palace buildings belongs to this category. Although it is idealistic, it also reflects the good wishes of the ancients for fire prevention.
