imperial palace
The history of the Forbidden City is of great significance, as the residence of the royal families of the two dynasties of China and the center of the imperial government is still intact in the very center of the imperial capital. The total area is 720,000 square meters, including three main halls, nearly 70 palaces and thousands of buildings. Image point, about 100 football fields are the size, plus so many tall and majestic palaces, how bold, how magnificent!
Before that, there was a column dedicated to a documentary on the Forbidden City, and Chinese people were shocked and proud after watching it, lamenting the ingenuity and skill of the ancients and lamenting the glory of China! However, there is a small clip in the documentary, many people feel very strange, the staff inside every morning before opening the door of the Forbidden City, will be at the door and shout: "I came in", and wait for a little while, but then push the door open and go in.
Then the Forbidden City began the clearance work in the afternoon before the sun set, even the staff inside were not allowed to stay inside, and it closed at 5 o'clock. All of this, coupled with the rumors of some unnatural phenomena in the Forbidden City spread on the Internet, many people think that there is some way in it, so they are even more curious about it.
In this regard, there are several sayings in the folklore, and Qiwenjun will share it with you here.
The first is the superstitious statement: the Forbidden City has gone through hundreds of years, the rise and fall of dynasties, the change of personnel, there are many vying for power and nobles and small generations, so hundreds of years have been precipitated, the original owner may still be inside, so before opening the door, shout to inform the master first to show respect. Whether it was or not, the staff asked for psychological comfort.
Secondly, that is to say, in the early years of the Forbidden City, there were many eunuch palace women, although the eunuchs were not perfect, but also hoped to live a normal life, the palace women were sad and bitter, and also wanted to find a companion, so some eunuch palace women would live together and often meet privately in the corner of the palace gate. However, the opening of the door is also a eunuch, although this is illegal, but it is also the default of everyone. So before opening the door, they will shout, let them automatically avoid, do not appear embarrassing and difficult to do.
The last theory is the most common: the Forbidden City has been deserted for a long time, and there are often some small animals entering, and if humans suddenly enter and exit, they will be frightened to wander here. If you accidentally touch some cultural relics and antiques, you will suffer heavy losses. So shout when you open the door, the animal has a mental preparation, and it will not be so flustered when escaping.
