As we all know, the Forbidden City was the place where ancient emperors lived. Since zhu Di established the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the Forbidden City has been the capital of every dynasty. The Forbidden City is not only very grand in architecture, but also occupies a very large area. Throughout the ages, the Forbidden City has witnessed the rise and fall of successive dynasties. As a place where the emperor lived. When the Forbidden City was built, not only was the structure complex, but safety was also put first.
The Tangshan earthquake that occurred in 1976 is still fresh in people's minds, and although the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is close to Tangshan, has also been affected, the houses of the Forbidden City are still intact, which makes people have to admire the wisdom of the ancients. Although it was not affected, experts were still worried about any damage to the houses in the Forbidden City, after all, the Forbidden City is now the most classic royal complex left in the mainland. So experts feel the need to check it out. During an inspection, an expert found that the floor tiles in the Taihedian Square of the Forbidden City were somewhat loose, so he ordered the workers to dig out the floor tiles and repair them. Unexpectedly, it was this repair, but I found a big secret hidden by the Manchu Qing for 600 yuan.
Under the command of experts, the workers dug out a floor tile and found that there was a layer of floor tiles under the floor tiles. This made everyone very curious. Therefore, after the experts obtained approval, they asked the workers to continue digging the floor tiles, until the 15th floor was dug, and finally the dirt appeared. Moreover, these floor tiles are very neatly arranged, which is obviously deliberately done by ancient people when building the Forbidden City. It turned out that these intricate but intricately arranged 14-story floor tiles were designed to prevent people from digging tunnels into the Forbidden City from the ground, posing a threat to the safety of the emperor. This makes everyone truly admire the wisdom of the ancients, which is really too clever. The emperor is the king of a country, and it is not uncommon for the emperor to be assassinated in the past dynasties, so for the sake of safety, the floor tiles of the Forbidden City will be buried so deeply.
And experts also found that not only in the square of the Temple of Taihe. Many places in the Forbidden City have royal martial arts venues, which allow members of the royal family to ride horses and shoot arrows. Since it is a martial arts field, it needs relatively flat land, otherwise once it rains, it will make the road uneven, which is not conducive to the training of royal descendants. Even if the deeply buried floor tiles are shaken, they will not cause the ground to collapse and cause casualties among the royal family. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is far more intelligent than we think. This is also the reason why the architecture of the Forbidden City has experienced countless ups and downs and is still standing, and it is not unreasonable for many emperors to choose as the capital.
