Legend has it that in the Forbidden City in Beijing in 1992, there was a "supernatural event". It is said that in the summer of that year, there was a light rain in the sky, accompanied by lightning and thunder, but even so, the tourists in the Forbidden City were still in an endless stream.
When some tourists were taking pictures, they inadvertently found that a row of palace women appeared on the opposite wall. Not only the tourist who took the photo, but also many tourists saw this picture, but when people wanted to go up and take a closer look, they found that the image had long disappeared without a trace.
After this news spread, it once caused a great sensation in society. In people's eyes, this palace, which has survived for more than 600 years, must have hidden many secrets. For a while, the people in the Beijing area did not dare to go out for a walk at night, and in order to explore the truth of the matter, many experts have studied this.
Some experts have suggested that the reason why that kind of picture appears is because the walls of the Forbidden City are painted by cinnabar, and cinnabar contains a large amount of iron oxide, which is the fundamental reason why the picture can reappear in front of people's eyes through time and space.
Ferric tetroxide is a common magnetic material that is electrically conductive and sub-magnetic and is widely used in video recorders. When the bridge deck of the Forbidden City is struck by lightning, the iron oxide can refract the image of the past.
This is not an isolated case, in fact, there have been similar incidents in many parts of the world. For example, the world's famous "ghost valley" Mawo Valley, whenever it rains, lightning, lightning and thunder, the valley will emit the sound of battlefield fighting, and even there are figures.
But as long as the sky is clear, this phenomenon does not occur in the valley. After the relevant personnel found that there is a large amount of magnetite in the valley, which is why this phenomenon has occurred.
However, some people do not recognize the explanation of experts, before 1992, the Forbidden City has been painted many times, in the Ming and Qing Dynasties when the Painted Forbidden City did use cinnabar, but after the founding of New China, the paint paint on the wall has actually been innovated, of which the content of ferric tetroxide is not high, trace amounts of ferric tetroxide is difficult to produce this effect.
In this regard, these people believe that the photo that was widely circulated at that time was actually post-processed. The 4 palace girls on the picture have really taken this photo, this is a foreign photographer in 1910 in China when the film took a picture of the Beijing street scene, the original film above the other masses, but there are people with hearts, but the image of these 4 palace women cut out, and then pasted to the old Forbidden City red wall, after the picture processing, to create this strange atmosphere.
So why did the story of the shadow of the palace lady of the Forbidden City be circulated? In fact, this is because there was a movie called "Silhouette" at that time, which had a plot about the shadow of Fujin on the side of the Ning King's Mansion being refracted by the red wall.
After the film was released, a Guangxi reporter adapted these plots into a novel, called "The Strange Shadow of the Royal Palace", and the novel was published in the Guangxi Daily in parts, that is to say, the plot about the ghost reflected on the cinnabar wall was actually artificially fabricated. At that time, people's education level was low, and not many people could read, and it was easy to misrepresent information into so-called ghost talk.
In fact, there are many legends about the Forbidden City, and it is well known as the "Zhenfei Well". But friends who have visited the Forbidden City will find that the wellhead of zhenfei well is very small, and it is almost impossible to stuff a living person into it.
The reason why the legend of the Forbidden City has such a high degree of circulation is because the distance between the royal nobles and ordinary people living in the Forbidden City in the feudal society is far away, which will naturally trigger the association of ordinary people.
Out of psychological balance, in the eyes of many ordinary people, although these royal nobles live in the incomparably luxurious Forbidden City, they must be full of hooks and corners, after all, the Forbidden City they live in is like a cage, and there must have been some inexplicable horrors here.
As the imperial palace of the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Forbidden City has lived in 24 emperors, countless harem concubines, palace maidens, eunuchs. The brick walls of the Forbidden City bear witness to one court secret after another. With the abdication of the last emperor Puyi, the feudal society represented by the Forbidden City has long been history, and the Forbidden City has become its new name.
History has gone, the Forbidden City has become a museum that ordinary people can enter and participate in, although it has gone through the wind and rain, but through the bricks and tiles of the Forbidden City, we can still appreciate the royal style of the past and spy on the private life of the royal family and nobles.
To this day, when we walk into the Forbidden City with the psychology of exploring history, we can still feel the royal style of the past. With the popularization of education and the improvement of network technology, people no longer believe in the so-called ghosts and gods, and the puzzles about the Forbidden City are also being solved one by one.
