After the 2016 documentary "I Repair Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City" became popular, many people gradually understood some of the mysterious veils of the Forbidden City, but there is a detail in the film that everyone does not understand, that is, why the staff will shout "I have come in" at the door before going to work in the morning before pushing the door open.
Many people are very confused about this situation, it is reasonable to say that the Forbidden City is not allowed to stay at night, so they shout early in the morning, certainly not because there are other staff inside. If it is not to inform the people inside, then what is the intention of shouting?
According to the official explanation, this is because the Forbidden City is in disrepair, and the decaying atmosphere is easy to attract the attention of some small animals, so there are many small animals that like to stay in the Forbidden City at night. However, there are many tourists in the Forbidden City, and if there are some small animals mixed in, it is estimated that they have been arrested long ago, and this problem is obviously not established.
And even if there are small animals, if you want to drive them away, you don't need to shout the phrase "I'm in", just cough or stomp your feet. Since they all say the phrase "I'm in" and not anything else, it's obviously meant to be spoken for those who can understand.
There is a saying in the folk that before entering a house that no one lives for a long time, you need to knock on the door first, which is somewhat similar to this one in the Forbidden City, just according to the door of entering the room.
The ancients had the saying of "entering the house to call people, entering the temple to worship the gods", there are two interpretations of "entering the house to call people", one is to greet others when they go to other people's homes, which is the most basic courtesy. The second is to go inside an empty house that has not been inhabited for a long time, and you need to knock on the door first, or shout something like "I'm in."
China's houses are very particular about "gathering popularity", the same two houses, if one house has many people living, the other house has not been lived. Then after some years, the first thing that collapsed was definitely the house that no one lived in.
Houses where people live are full of popularity and yang, and houses where no one lives are full of yin. I remember when we were young, when we passed by the houses that had not been inhabited for a long time, we always felt cold and whizzing, and the houses should always be inhabited, not empty for a long time, otherwise there would be something unclean coming in.
Whether you admit it or not, the house that has not been lived in for a long time always has a frightening feeling when you walk in, and it is indeed a gust of wind, because the air in the house does not flow, it is easy to decay, and it is particularly easy to live in some unclean things.
Therefore, the staff of the Forbidden City shouted before entering the door, probably to deter yin qi and drive away those unclean things, of course, this is still somewhat superstitious. Officially, in order to drive away small animals, this is also very likely.
