Puyi's later life

Why is the Cold Palace of the Forbidden City still not open to this day? Puyi told the truth in his later years, subverting the hostages of everyone, what secrets are there in the depths of the Cold Palace? And the Forbidden City has so many tourists every day, why insist on closing at five o'clock in the afternoon? Click on it and let's uncover them one by one. I believe that many people have traveled to Beijing, it is no wonder that the city is indeed very attractive, from ancient times to the present, here gathers the history of the attitude dynasty, after thousands of years of cultural accumulation, creating an incomparably huge architectural complex, that is, the Forbidden City. But whenever you travel to Beijing, the Forbidden City has become a must-visit attraction, and the number of tourists here is innumerable every day, which is very lively. But the Forbidden City has a very hidden corner, that is, the Cold Palace. Just like its name, other places have always been crowded with people, but the cold palace is empty. Of course, it is not that tourists are reluctant to go anywhere, but that the accommodation area is not open to the public, so no tourist has ever seen the real cold palace. Many people are curious, what secrets are hidden in the cold palace area of the Forbidden City? Most of everyone's understanding of the cold palace comes from film and television dramas, such as Qing palace dramas, crossing dramas, etc., the cold palace is generally described in the play, for example, a concubine makes the emperor unhappy, or his people make serious mistakes, they will be ruthlessly beaten into the cold palace, the whole space is gloomy, cold and bone-chilling, and the concubines who are beaten into the cold palace will often be given a disease, and finally fall into a miserable end of incense and jade. But after all, the film and television drama is fictional, and the real cold palace is far more cruel than the drama. First of all, the real cold palace is not as beautiful as in the film and television drama, which imprisons not only concubines, but even princes, and not only concubines who make mistakes will be beaten into the cold palace, but anyone who is not looked at by the emperor is unfavorable, may be beaten into the cold palace. This building does not refer specifically to a place, but to where the out-of-favor concubine lives, it becomes. During the Ming Dynasty, there was a power supply office, among the six palaces in the east and west, the most remote one was the Jingyang Palace, when he was once a cold palace, he had seen Wang Gongfei inside, and he did not know whether he was because he had made a big mistake, or the emperor simply looked at him unfavorably, anyway, this Wang Gongfei was imprisoned in Jingyang. What is even more distressing to the public is that even his own biological son is not entitled to meet him. The mother and son have been separated for 20 years, and some people may ask, is the person who becomes a concubine not free? This is certain, where the fairness of feudal society comes from, and there are still cases where noble concubines are reduced to commoners. However, even if he has been deposed as a commoner, the emperor will not give you freedom, and he will even be forbidden to go out for life in a small house from nearer to darker. It can be seen that life in the harem is far more miserable than people think. Therefore, here is a kind reminder to young girls, do not be brainwashed by court dramas and cross-over dramas. Back to the truth, it is precisely because of the accumulated resentment among the concubines living in the cold palace that it looks particularly gloomy. For the Cold Palace not to open to the public, the masses also have bold speculations, some say that the Cold Palace was burned, and even some say that it is haunted, which has added a strange color to this mysterious area. In 1992, a harmful picture was circulated on the Internet, four Qing Dynasty palace women appeared in front of the red wall of the Forbidden City, and it is said that several tourists left the group on their own and walked on a path in a daze. Suddenly, the wind and clouds changed suddenly, and a bolt of lightning broke through the air, and it was the light generated by this lightning that made them see the palace maid on the wall. The men were so frightened by the sight that one of them accidentally pressed the shutter and took the picture. The photo has been out, causing an uproar. Many netizens said that they just ran to the cold palace, and it is precisely because of this incident that the idea that the cold palace is not clean has become more and more evil, and later some people even said that they heard the woman's cry in the cold palace at night. I was still very curious about this, but what I was curious about was not the woman's crying, but the curiosity that the brothers had nothing to do at night. Obviously, this rumor is full of loopholes, and it will not be self-defeating. Some people are not willing, and found another entry point to start, so there is a voice of doubt, why does the Forbidden City always close at five o'clock in the afternoon regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter? Even in winter, it will not be dark at this point, let alone summer, I am afraid that it will not be dark until about seven or eight o'clock. This kind of doubt has been issued, and immediately received the strong support of many people, who unanimously believe that the Cold Palace is not open to the public and the Forbidden City must close before five o'clock, it must be because there is something inside after five o'clock to come out, but these remarks are only netizens. Wishful speculation, this inference is not logical at all. Officials also clarified these ridiculous rumors, but this clarification seems to be less satisfactory to them, and they need a more convincing statement, and for the Forbidden City, it is Puyi who has the most say. The first half of May Day's life can be described as a series of twists and turns, experiencing things that ordinary people can't encounter in their lifetime. Not long after he was born, he was forced to ascend the throne, and it was difficult to adapt to the life of the emperor, a bit like the emperor, and he did not expect that the Qing Dynasty would die. After being expelled from the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, he began a life of ups and downs, and eventually became the emperor of the puppet state of Manchukuo under the threat of the Japanese, until the victory of the War of Resistance. Therefore, seeing the first half of Puyi's life, people can't help but think of four words, and they can't help themselves. But fortunately, in the second half of his life, he lived in New China, and his later years were quite peaceful, probably because the second half of her life was more frequent, and Puyi, who was idle, described the first half of his life with a pen, and the name was extremely simple, just called the first half of my life, and published by the Mass Publishing House. Many creators were also interested in China's last emperor, so they made his legendary experience into film and television works. Therefore, even if Puyi dies, even if there is a description of the Forbidden City in his autobiography, it is still an authority among authorities. In the first half of my life, I recorded the Cold Palace, because the Forbidden City itself was really too big, and puyi lived in that era, the Qing Dynasty treasury was poor. Even the basic expenses are difficult to maintain, and there is no way to move funds to maintain the Forbidden City, let alone the remote cold palace. And the cold palace is full of resentment, some concubines are crazy because they are locked up in it all year round, they talk nonsense all day long, complain about the sky, and it is not too much to describe the ghosts crying wolf howls, the emperor naturally does not want to go to that kind of place, over time, some of the concubines who have been beaten into the cold palace are forgotten, even if they are bitter, the emperor will not waste money on the housing problems of those concubines, because this is meaningless. Moreover, a director surnamed Yu of the Palace Museum also expressed his position on this, in fact, the reason why the Cold Palace is not open is also very simple, and it is not as evil as the folk rumors. And he also said that there are no extremely precious cultural relics in the Cold Palace, because it has fallen into disrepair from the past to the present, and it is conservatively estimated to be at least a hundred years old, which has led to the already unstable building being more precarious, and the location of the Cold Palace itself is desolate. The difficulty of secondary repair is extremely high, which is not only a simple matter of spending money, but also the consumption of manpower and material resources is immeasurable. Such a dilapidated cold palace, if it is hastily repaired, resulting in the collapse and destruction of an ancient building is small, if there is a human life, it will not be worth the loss. After many considerations, it was finally decided to abandon post-maintenance. It is also out of consideration for the personal safety of tourists, so they do not enter the cold palace and are open to the public. Regarding the five-point closure of the Forbidden City, it is also because of an incident, in fact, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The Forbidden City closed much later than it is now, until one day, the staff suddenly noticed that there was a cultural relic missing from the palace, and the Golden Book of the Empress of the Kangxi Emperor was mysteriously missing. This is not a small matter, after a series of careful investigations, it was determined that it was a human investigation, and it was learned that tourists took advantage of a loophole, and this loophole turned out to be a large forbidden city. Another reason is that the Forbidden City closed late at that time, and all the cultural relics would not be counted until the next morning, and as a result, someone seized on this point, and in the evening, taking advantage of the fact that the staff did not pay attention, the gods unconsciously sneaked into the bathroom to hide, and when the staff ran out, they went out. This thief originally thought that what he took was not deceived, and it was estimated that it would not be discovered, but unfortunately Skynet was restored, and he was caught not long after the plan. That is, after this incident, the Forbidden City changed the closing time to five o'clock, and after the closure, the staff will conduct another inventory of cultural relics to avoid the recurrence of such incidents. The guy who stole the relics was also a smart man, but unfortunately he didn't use it in the right place. At the end of the video, the official of the Forbidden City released a message last year that it is expected to expand the open area to 85% within four years, which means that if you visit the Forbidden City, you will be able to see more places. Seeing that this year is almost over, there are less than four years left before 2025, what changes will be made in the Forbidden City during this three-year period is indeed quite curious, will the official quietly repair the Cold Palace and give everyone a surprise? Will it be open to the public after the repair is completed? Of course, these are just speculations generated by netizens because of expectations. We won't know until 2025, but the teacher said I was curious about it. Finally, here is a friendly reminder, if you want to visit the Forbidden City, remember to go to bed early the night before, and don't lie in bed the next day. Well, this issue of the video ends here, thank you for watching, we will see you in the next issue.
