Hundreds of years later, when I opened the floor of the Forbidden City, I found that there was a reason why the Yangxin Hall was cold and damp!
The Forbidden City is one of the facades of China, the leader of China's great architecture, experienced the ancient imperial power war, experienced the modern war of aggression, still stands, so it has become a world miracle. Not only that, the construction of the Forbidden City is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and the witness of Chinese architectural culture. Under the shroud of the imperial system of feudal society, the Forbidden City has become a very mysterious place since ancient times. From ancient times to the present, the place that people yearn for is the pride of the Chinese people.
The Forbidden City focused on one-on-one renovation and required it to be consistent with the original. People who have been to the Forbidden City should have discovered this problem. That is to say, the emperor's devotional hall was cold and wet. This was where the emperor dealt with state affairs and where he spent the longest time. It is impossible not to feel it. According to the management of the Forbidden City, this place is the most difficult to maintain of all the rooms, and because of the humidity problem, the underground wood will soon be replaced.
With a slight negligence, it is easy to collapse when tourists walk in and step on the broken planks. This problem has plagued maintenance workers for a long time. All available methods have been used and have never been addressed. After discussion among the relevant experts, it was decided to study the internal structure of the devotional hall, and they would pry open the entire floor. They were surprised when they pried open the floor. What is the hidden path?
Later, when the experts repaired the Yangxin Hall, they finally discovered the secret. It turned out that the Yangxin Hall was too damp, so the pillars, tables, beds, plaques and other wooden utensils in the room were damaged. If this situation is not changed quickly, these wooden utensils may be decayed and replaced. Therefore, experts organized the repair of the Yangxin Hall. When the experts unveiled the floor of the Yangxin Hall, they accidentally discovered the royal secret.
Originally, there were many brick and tile pipes under the floor of the Yangxin Hall. After expert research, these pipes turned out to be heating facilities. In modern society, winter heating has air conditioning, heating, floor heating and so on. It should be known that in ancient times, the average person could only use braziers, hand stoves, foot stoves, etc. for heating. Floor heating can be said to be very advanced at that time. Moreover, this kind of facility is more complicated, and the amount of engineering is relatively large, and ordinary people cannot enjoy it, and only the emperor can enjoy this high-level treatment. This is the secret of the royal family, and it is also the secret of the cold and damp of the Yangxin Hall.
So far, the floor heating has never been used again, and the water in the water pipe has not been released so far, so the current Yangxin Hall feels cold and wet. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is really endless, and it was able to come up with this method to warm up hundreds of years ago, which really makes us modern people feel very impressed.
