The Forbidden City began to be built from the fourth year of Ming Chengzuyong (1406), which lasted 14 years, using 300,000 migrant workers, a total of 9999 and a half houses, all said that 9999 rooms and a half were built for why not more than half of the rooms, ten thousand words said out of the style, Ming Chengzu He originally planned to build ten thousand rooms, but he had a dream, the Jade Emperor thought that you a mortal can live in ten thousand houses, so Ming Chengzu changed the last room into half a room, since the construction of the Forbidden City through the Ming and Qing dynasties, after 24 emperors, about 500 years.
But the Forbidden City will close on time at five o'clock, as for why the Forbidden City closes at five o'clock in the afternoon, there are many story versions on this issue, in 1992, some tourists played and forgot the time to pass five o'clock, when passing through a certain courtyard, they saw the palace women walking with lanterns, and some people said that the Forbidden City had tourists who saw some eunuchs when thundering lightning, but this can be explained according to science, people contain a special magnetic field, when lightning flashes, the magnetic field remains in place, and when thunder strikes, the previous magnetic field will appear
There is also said that the Forbidden City's West Sixth Palace is very evil to listen to friends say that at 11 o'clock in the night to 1 a.m. the next day in the Forbidden City unjustly died of the lone soul will come out wandering, we all know that part of the Forbidden City is not open to the public, the specific reason is not clear, but in the Palace Museum at night patrol security personnel often see a strange figure in the palace shuttle, you want to chase him can not catch up can only see a roughly vague woman's figure but the Forbidden City to see the figure of a person also has a scientific staff to explain, because the palace wall is red, containing iron oxide, Lightning may conduct electrical energy, and if a palace eunuch happens to pass by, then the palace wall is equivalent to the function of a videotape, playing out the previously recorded image.
It is said that there was a person who used to look at the palace gate, according to that person, he could hear music every night, and sometimes he would see the eunuch palace maid, and the child in the family was not in good health, and the old man said that the person's yin qi was too heavy, affecting the next generation.
5 o'clock is the time when the Forbidden City closes its doors to clear the guests, it is said that that the hour is the heaviest moment of the Forbidden City, but there is also a major reason, that is, there are criminals who have attempts on the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, there was a person named Wu Qinghui before after 5 o'clock, the Forbidden City has not closed, Wu Qinghui secretly hid in the Forbidden City, when the staff all left at night, he came out, and stole two cultural relics, the police spent a long time to arrest him, after this matter the country also attached importance to the security of the Forbidden City, At dusk, the sky began to clear the scene before dark, which also facilitated the patrol of the Forbidden City staff, with the development of science and technology, the outlaws who overstepped the cultural relics of the Forbidden City, in no way.
