The Forbidden City in Beijing was originally the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties lived, and only those with distinguished status were eligible to go to the Forbidden City, and after the demise of the Qing government, the Forbidden City was gradually lifted and became a tourist attraction that everyone could visit at will. At this time, everyone gradually recognized the true face of the Forbidden City.
In the past few decades, television stations have successively broadcast some documentaries about the Forbidden City. In these documentaries, there is a stone, which is particularly striking, that is, a relatively complete white jade species, about 16 meters in length, about 1.7 meters in thickness, and weighing up to 200 tons. On this stone, the workers carved the Nine Dragon Play Beads, and some patterns, which look particularly gorgeous, this White Jade stone represents the meaning of the Nine Five-Year Dignity, it was placed in the north of the Baohe Hall of the Forbidden City, and people generally called it the Yunlong Step Stone. According to relevant information, this boulder was particularly difficult to transport that year, 20,000 people could not pull it, so how this boulder was moved into the Forbidden City, and then we will reveal it.
This large stone weighing 200 tons is produced in Dashiwo Village, Fangshan. This place is only 80 km from the Forbidden City. Even in ancient times, when traffic was relatively backward, this distance was not very far, and it would be very easy to reach it if you were riding a horse. If you add a stone weighing more than 200 tons, then this distance will become a difficult obstacle to cross, and the difficulty of carrying it is almost like ascending to the sky. How did the ancients solve this problem?
In ancient times, when technology was relatively backward, the ancients did not have large instruments, but they had a superb wisdom that was not inferior to that of modern people, and they drilled some wells before carrying stones. The spacing of each well is about one mile, and in winter, the workers take water from the well and sprinkle it on the road to form a thick ice path. Then they used the slope to put the large stone on the raft, and then dragged the raft to the ice road, little by little, back to the Forbidden City, when carrying the big stone, in addition to using 20,000 manpower, they also used 1,000 mules and horses, they worked together little by little to carry, spending 28 days, and finally transported the stone to the Forbidden City.
