Presumably everyone knows something about the Forbidden City, as a place where the vast number of emperors once lived in history, it does have a lot of stories, and the development of the Forbidden City has become a very famous attraction. There is one thing here that attracts the most attention, and that is a huge stone. Many people who come to the Forbidden City have a high interest in this big stone.
The stone we are going to talk about today has a length of 16 meters and a thickness of 1.7 meters, which is the largest and heaviest stone in the entire Forbidden City. More than 200 tons of it is located in the Forbidden City, has become the most famous Forbidden City attraction, but when people watch it will also have a question, that is, this stone is now located in the Forbidden City looks very perfect, but in the ancient era of underdeveloped science and technology, how was this huge stone transported in? What kind of methods did the ancients use?
According to relevant historical records, this large stone weighing 200 tons was more than 80 kilometers away from the Forbidden City. How this distance of more than 80 kilometers was moved step by step to the Forbidden City without cranes and without any high-capacity means of transport.
It can be seen that the ingenuity of the ancients is still very admirable, and this is an important reason why such a great building can be built.
