It is the highest symbol of the position of power in ancient times
The Forbidden City was built by order of Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Cheng
It took 14 years

It was completed in 1420
It has been 600 years of ups and downs
Witnessed the rise and fall of the imperial family of the Ming and Qing dynasties

The Forbidden City sent away Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty

October 10, 1925
The Palace Museum was officially opened
It began a new journey as a historical relic
The mysterious atmosphere that comes with the royal family
It attracts tourists from all over the world
Countless people came to visit
According to official statistics
In the past six years, the Forbidden City has received nearly 100 million tourists
Many people have visited the Forbidden City
I thought I was seeing a panoramic view of the Forbidden City
Not really!
The Forbidden City covers a total area of 720,000 square meters
Only 70% of the areas are accessible to tourists
There are also 30% of the unopened areas
Prohibited steps!
No one has ever seen it!
Today Xiaobian will secretly lead everyone
Take a trip to the mysterious "forbidden area" of the Forbidden City!
Forbidden Zone One: Cold Palace
When it comes to cold palaces, everyone is no stranger
In TV dramas, there are often plots in which concubines are beaten into the cold palace
As a matter of fact
The Cold Palace does not refer to a palace alone
Rather, it refers to an area
Concubines who specialize in segregation and make mistakes are degraded
Once beaten into the cold palace
There's no difference between going to jail!
There will never be a day to emerge
Finally, he died with a grudge
Desperate concubines in the dark cold palace
Crying and shouting constantly getting silly and crazy
This led to the cold palace being furious
The ghost is not gone
Screams are said to be heard in the middle of the night
An unusually mournful scream that snatches the soul
As a result, no one dared to step into the cold palace
The Cold Palace was thus abandoned
Crippled and unable to open
Forbidden Area 2: Cining Palace
The Cining Palace is home to successive empresses of the Ming and Qing dynasties
As the residence of the Lord of the Six Houses, the Mother of a Nation
The Cining Palace was exceptionally luxuriously decorated
It is said that there is Cixi Lafayette's favorite throne
The Cining Palace is magnificent and sparkling
Treasures all over the place
It is a symbol of the power status of the lord of the harem
Such an ornamental royal palace
Why not open?
It has been rumored that the Cining Palace is haunted!
At a time when the Cining Palace was still allowed to enter before
Some crew members went to the palace at night to shoot scenes
In the middle of the night, I suddenly saw the wall of the Great Red Palace
A row of shadows of palace ladies walked by appeared
And with miserable cries!
The crew fled in fright
Don't dare come back
Some people even can't afford to be sick
Eerie hauntings are spreading more and more widely
Although some scientists have uncovered the truth
But the matter is still worrying
Since then, the Cining Palace has ceased to be open
Forbidden Zone Three: Tired and Diligent
Tired of fasting as the name suggests
It was a place where Qianlong rested after he was tired of handling state affairs
Qianlong invited the top craftsmen in the country
Decorated in a Jiangnan style
The ceilings and walls are all painted in enamel
Magnificent and beautiful
Exquisite bamboo reliefs are everywhere
Priceless
These bamboo carvings have been around for 300 years
Become very vulnerable
Can't stand the visit of a large number of tourists
Therefore, it is no longer open
Forbidden Zone 4: Yuhua Pavilion
The Yuhua Pavilion was a place dedicated to the Emperor to worship the Buddha
It is a typical four-eaves octagonal tower structure in ancient times
The Yuhua Pavilion is full of solemn Buddhist atmosphere
It contains various Buddhist relics collected by the emperor
Enshrined in the supreme statue of Shakyamuni Buddha
There are three reasons why Yuhua Pavilion is not open
One is the fear of damage to the venerable Buddha statue
The second is the fear that tourists will disturb the purity of the Buddha
The third is the fear that the Buddhist hall in the temple cannot be restored
Forbidden Zone 5: Chonghua Palace
Chonghua Palace was the residence where Qianlong lived before he ascended the throne
"Chonghua" means to praise the merits of Qianlong comparable to Yao Shun
Created the most glorious prosperity of the Qing Dynasty!
In his later years, Qianlong wanted to reminisce about the past
Turn chonghua pavilion into a small museum
Specially stored items that Qianlong used when he was young
and the precious treasures given to him by his ancestors
Such a precious palace is indeed not suitable for opening
No one can afford to be destroyed!
Forbidden Zone Six: Shu Fang Zhai
Shu Fang Zhai must be no stranger to everyone!
Anyone who has seen "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" knows it
Shufangzhai is the palace where Xiaoyanzi lives
In fact, it is the place where Qianlong held a banquet
Many celebrities of the Qing Dynasty have played here
Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang also sang here!
It can be seen that the decoration of its interior is also incomparably luxurious
Among them, this multicolored top painting is the most famous
The five-clawed golden dragon in the middle shows the dignity of imperial power
The winding auspicious clouds have a hint of Western style
Now Shufangzhai has become a national VIP reception
Only national leaders and foreign heads of state can enter!
Therefore, it is no longer open to the public
Forbidden Zone Seven: Sanxitang
"Sanxi" means Shi Xi Xian, Xian Xi Sheng, and Sheng Xi Tian
This is the Qianlong Emperor's favorite hall!
Inside are exquisite Qingguan kiln porcelain vases
And the vase is inlaid on the wall!
Only half of the bottle mouth is exposed for flower arrangement
This style of decoration is extremely rare in the Forbidden City
The walls are also covered with famous calligraphy and paintings and treasures of the Qianlong Emperor
Why is such a culturally rich hall not open?
The reason was unexpected
Because it's so small!
Only 4.8 square meters of Sanxi Hall
Equivalent to the size of a washroom
Two or three tourists are crowded
It's hard to turn around
I can't open it!
Forbidden Zone Eight: Basement
The basement is the underground warehouse used for storage in the Forbidden City
The reason why the basement is not open is simple
You must have guessed it too
