When many friends go to Beijing to play, there is a place that must go is the Forbidden City, and then after going to the Forbidden City, everyone can not only have a certain understanding of the court life of the ancients in the previous dynasty, but also have a certain understanding of their food, clothing, housing and luxury scenes seen daily. Usually, the main hall of the emperor's upper dynasty is generally not open to the public, and we can only watch from a distance across the isolation belt and with a telescope. In the center of the main hall, a very exquisite dragon chair is usually placed. This dragon chair is carved with coiled dragons and various relief decorations, and from a distance you can see a golden and brilliant scene. And we all know that most of the chairs in ancient times were made of wood, not as diverse as the current types of chairs. In fact, ordinary people also use wooden seats, after all, in ancient times, wood was not as scarce as it is today. And the dragon chair used by the Son of Heaven is also carved from wood? Will these chairs be pure gold from the inside out?
Pure yellow manager is not impossible, but it is uncomfortable to do, it is also troublesome to carry, and it is very easy to wear. The emperor had to sit on it every day, meet with the civil and military officials, and deal with official documents, etc., the frequency of use of the chair was very high, if it was made of gold, it was not a burden on the state tax, and the emperor himself might not agree to such a luxurious approach. So in fact, most of the dragon chairs are made of wood in the middle, and some of them will be plated with a layer of gold on the outside, and then brushed with yellow paint.
This kind of wood is not the common furniture wood, but a very precious wood, called nan wood. The nan wood used to create the dragon chair is the best of the nan wood, that is, the golden silk nan wood. It not only has a faint aroma, but the structure is very delicate and not easy to deform. Golden silk nan wood will have a luster similar to satin brilliance. This material is not only not easy to deform, but also anti-corrosion, and many coffins of ancient dignitaries and nobles are also made of this material. At the same time, this material can also prevent various insects, moths, mildew and other phenomena. The bed made of this kind of nan wood is warm in winter and cool in summer, which is also very good for people with weak bodies.
However, in the long volume of the new people in history, the dynasties will continue to change, and the dragon chair left by the predecessors may be overthrown by later generations. During the Republic of China period, many cultural relics of the previous dynasty were greatly damaged. Although later generations wanted to repair these losses, the unique technology and materials of the time had been lost for a long time, and no matter how hard later generations tried, they could not restore it to its original appearance. Maybe the dragon chair in the main hall is still so glorious. But after all, it is not the same as before, what he was exactly like, and what kind of scene he should have been, no one knows now.
