There are many famous buildings in ancient China, the Forbidden City is one of them, from the Ming Dynasty to the Forbidden City in Beijing has become a place where emperors live, all the way to the Qing Dynasty, so the historical research value of the Forbidden City is also very high. The construction of the Forbidden City was completed by the Ming Dynasty, and after Zhu Di became emperor, he fulfilled his father's dream and moved the capital to Beijing, and the Forbidden City was also born. The Forbidden City during the Ming Dynasty was already very perfect, but after the Qing Dynasty unified the world, the Forbidden City was renovated, so the Forbidden City has existed for five or six hundred years, and this building has witnessed the achievements of ancient architecture on the mainland.
The entire Forbidden City covers an area of 720,000 square meters, and it will take at least a few days for us to visit the cultural relics inside. Now we can go in and visit as long as we have time, but in ancient times, this was not the case, only princes and nobles could enter, and we could not visit us at will, which shows how lucky we are. Time flies, and 600 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now the glory of the Forbidden City is still the same, the number of people visiting all over the country is increasing year by year, some people find out why the Forbidden City is so big when they visit, but even a bird does not stop on it? And there are no bird droppings on the eaves, why is that?
Experts have studied the building materials of the Palace palace and found that most of the roofs of the Forbidden City are arc-shaped corners and corners, and these corners are very irregular, so it is still very difficult for birds to stop at these corners. In addition to what we said above, the surface of the roof of the Forbidden City is also relatively smooth, and if there are birds that want to stop on the roof of the Forbidden City, it is also very painful, and it is likely to slip if you are not careful. This makes us have to admire the wisdom of the ancients and come up with such a way to prevent birds from producing bird droppings. This makes many of our current builders ashamed of themselves.
The second reason is that the walls of the Forbidden City are all red. But anyone who has traveled to the Forbidden City can have such a discovery, no matter which palace in the Forbidden City, all of them use yellow glazed tiles, and the walls of the Forbidden City are all red. The reason for entering and leaving this way is partly to show festivity and wealth, and on the other hand, it is also because the color that birds fear most is red. Even now, there are many occasions, in order to avoid the appearance of bird droppings, they will choose to decorate it with positive red. Therefore, the ancient construction workers chose red and yellow colors to match, which not only highlighted the dignity of the emperor living in the Forbidden City, but also made the birds afraid of the red palace walls.
In this way, naturally the birds will not stay on the palace wall, and there will be no bird droppings. There is also a saying that the birds do not stay on the roof of the Forbidden City because there are some unique smells on these buildings that will make the birds feel uncomfortable, so they will not stay here. The purpose of this is that the ancient emperors all believed that they were the true son of heaven sent down from heaven and the most honorable person under the heavens. It is absolutely not allowed that there are other beings who sow wild on their heads, so there is such a design. It prevents birds from staying in the Forbidden City, eliminates the production of birds and bird droppings, and greatly maintains the cleanliness and majesty of the Palace.
Those high-ranking and powerful True Destiny Heavenly Sons, who each think that they are proud sons of heaven, how can they tolerate other beings doing evil above their heads, of course, as future generations, we certainly understand the truth and falsity of it. But we also know that the emperors are not only the king of the world, but even the uniqueness of the residence is awe-inspiring, and the small roof has such a great knowledge and wisdom, which is really beneficial. Did you pay attention to these details when you went to the Forbidden City? Why has the Forbidden City's roof been devoid of guano for 600 years? Experts said after research that the wisdom of the ancients!
