There are nearly 200 cats living in the Forbidden City, why are few tourists seeing it? After reading the long knowledge
In recent years, the wind of Sinology has begun to be popular, and various traditional points represented by the Forbidden City have begun to walk in the forefront of the times to provide many young people with exquisite literary and creative works designed by themselves. In fact, such a move is very successful, the high ratings of variety shows, the high sales of the surrounding areas are proving that the classics that have been tempered by time are really like they can enter people's hearts, with a super high audience acceptance. As the Forbidden City began to become more popular on online television, the conservators and volunteers in this huge Forbidden City began to be known to us. The most eye-catching thing is the more than 200 "royal cats" living here.
I believe that there must be some friends who are visiting the Forbidden City with the royal cats of the Forbidden City. But the vast majority of people are disappointed, not to mention the famous Luban, even the unknown cat can not even see a shadow. What's going on here?
First of all, let's talk about these "old" cute people in the Forbidden City.
The reason why the word old is used is because if you want to trace the era when they lived here, you can go up to the Qing Dynasty, and the long Ming Dynasty is no problem. Generations of cats live here as if they could see a living time. Coupled with the usual cold and inexplicable enthusiasm of the cat owners, just a small action can capture the hearts of a large number of people.
You know, during the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the central government moved from Nanjing to the current Forbidden City, and there was a special palace agency to manage cats, each of which was registered, and their health was widely concerned. From this point of view, people's love for cats did not start in modern times, and cats have been "masters" for a long time.
In 2018, the Palace Museum conducted an interesting statistics and records, which was aimed at the Royal Cat. According to the detailed registration, there were 181 cats living in the Forbidden City at that time, and some of them often wandered near the staff's office. You know, if the lineage path of these cats is roughly the same as in history, then their ancestors are really the pets raised by the royal family members of the dignitaries and dignitaries.
People who have been to the Forbidden City should know that the flow of people who have opened the door here to welcome tourists every day has begun to soar rapidly. Sometimes if you want to see a Taihe Temple, you have to squeeze people to take a cursory look. If you were a cat, would you go and make a scene? High-cold royal cats generally prefer a quieter environment, so many of them choose to hang out in the forbidden city area that is not open. Of course, "cats have no absolutes", if you are lucky enough, you can see Jing Xiao Cub in the area of Jingren Palace.
In fact, the cats in the Forbidden City are not particularly good breeds from the strict classification of pets. But it is because they live in it that they are precious. And the Forbidden City Shenben also added several vivid vitality because of these cute guys.
