The mainland has a history of 5,000 years, and it is precisely because of this 5,000-year history that it has created the prosperity of the continent today. And in this 5,000-year history, there are many ancient ruins that have been preserved. The most famous of these is definitely the Forbidden City in Beijing, which is also one of the five most famous imperial palaces in the world.
And whether it is its own value or the degree of architectural splendor, the Forbidden City in Beijing should be the most famous existence. Every year, the Forbidden City also attracts countless domestic and foreign tourists to visit, and those who have seen the Forbidden City are all shocked by its magnificence. However, on the Internet, some netizens have raised such a question, that is, if you want to buy the Forbidden City, how much does it cost? So let's discuss this problem today.
1. The area of the Forbidden City
If we want to know the price of the Forbidden City, then the first thing we have to know is the area of the Forbidden City. Because now when we buy a property, the floor area of the property will determine the price of a property. In different cities, the price of land occupied is also different. The Forbidden City is located in Beijing, so we calculate the price of the Forbidden City according to the value of the land occupied in Beijing.
We all know that the total area of the Forbidden City is 780,000 square meters, while the land area value of Beijing is about 5-100,000 yuan and about 1 square meters. The closer you are to the center of Beijing, the higher the value of the floor space. The value of the area occupied in the second ring road of Beijing has reached 100,000-200,000 yuan and 1 square meter, so according to this situation, the location of the Forbidden City is located in the most central area of Beijing, so the land value of the Forbidden City should be more than 200,000 yuan and 1 square meter.
Even if we calculate according to 201 square meters, if we want to buy the entire Forbidden City, the value of only land will reach at least 156 billion yuan. To know that the world's richest man Elon Musk is only worth about 290 billion yuan, so even if he is the world's richest man, if he wants to buy the land in the Forbidden City, he will have to bleed a lot to be able to buy it.
Second, the value of building materials in the Forbidden City
After looking at the land value of the Forbidden City, we also have to look at the value of the building materials of the Forbidden City. After all, the value of the land in the Forbidden City is not the most valuable part of it, it is only the most basic part of its price. Anyone who has visited the Forbidden City should know that the Forbidden City is all made of wood.
And most of the building materials used in the Forbidden City are relatively expensive woods, and the most expensive wood should be golden silk nan wood. According to the introduction of the Forbidden City, most of the columns and beams used in the Construction of the Forbidden City are basically gold silk nan wood. According to the current market value of golden silk nan wood, the value of one kilogram of golden silk nan wood can reach about two or three thousand US dollars, which is converted into about 210,000 yuan.
The gold silk nan wood used in a pillar of the Forbidden City may have reached tens of pounds or more than 100 pounds, according to the price given by the experts of the Forbidden City, the value of a pillar of the golden silk nan wood in the Forbidden City has been more than 2.8 billion yuan. If you add up the value of all the golden silk nan wood pillars used in the entire Forbidden City, it will take at least 700 to 800 billion yuan to buy them all.
3. The value of cultural relics in the Forbidden City
In addition to the value of the building materials of the Forbidden City, we must also understand the value of the cultural relics of the Forbidden City. Because most of the people who lived in the Forbidden City before were emperors and concubines of the Qing Dynasty, the various utensils they used also had great historical value. For example, the bowls and chopsticks used by the emperor before or the vases placed by concubines, in addition to its own cultural relics value, its past experience will also give it a lot of historical value.
Now there are many rich people who like to collect cultural relics, and the cultural relics of the Forbidden City are the most popular among the rich. Once only one vase in the Forbidden City was auctioned for millions of dollars at auction. If calculated according to this price, all the cultural relics in the Forbidden City added together, and no two or three hundred billion yuan cannot be bought at all.
Therefore, adding up all these prices of the Forbidden City, even the world's richest man cannot afford the price of at least five or six hundred billion. Even if the rich people in the top few of the "Forbes" list are all worth together, it is difficult to buy a Forbidden City.
epilogue
It should be known that the value of the Forbidden City we have just calculated is only calculated according to the market price, and if we add the overall historical value of the Forbidden City, it is difficult to buy it even with the financial resources of a country. Therefore, even if it is the world's richest man, he can probably only buy one to buy the surrounding area in front of the Forbidden City. So friends in front of the screen, do you think the value of the Forbidden City is worth all this money? Do you know anything about the cultural relics of the Forbidden City?
