In China's long history, the Forbidden City has absolutely a transcendent status and value. The historical relics in the Forbidden City are extremely important historical understandings for future generations. Of particular importance is the dragon chair located on the Golden Luang Hall, which was the chair where every emperor in ancient feudal society sat.
The reason why this dragon chair has a very high reputation in history, in addition to being the exclusive seat of the emperor, is also because its body is covered with a mysterious curse.
There are even rumors that anyone who is not the emperor himself sitting on this dragon chair will be cursed, and all kinds of bizarre and strange things will happen, even threatening human life.
As we all know, the Forbidden City is an important embodiment of the history and culture of the mainland, and there are countless historical relics in it, and the Forbidden City, as the residence of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, has a unique nobility and temperament in the interior decoration and layout.
In terms of the area occupied by the Forbidden City alone, it has reached an astonishing level, it is the oldest surviving building complex in the world today, and it has a unique lead in construction technology and style.
At present, some areas of the Forbidden City have been opened to the public, and ordinary people can visit the Forbidden City through official channels.
This measure pulled the high status and temperament of the Forbidden City to the life of ordinary people, so that ordinary people can also see the environment and conditions of the ancient emperor's life.
Of course, although the Forbidden City has been opened to the outside world and can be freely entered and exited, the area open to the Forbidden City only accounts for a small part, about 30%.
Many areas where the Forbidden City is not easy to open to the outside world still exist, and the reason is that there are many kinds of them.
The most striking of these is the cold palace in the Forbidden City.
The existence of the cold palace is an extremely special area in the Forbidden City, and its significance is that the emperor himself loses interest in the concubine, or punishes the concubine.
When a certain concubine was punished for making mistakes in the palace, most of them were thrown into the cold palace.
It is precisely because the cold palace is the place where the concubines who have fallen out of favor stay, and the emperor will not come here, so the cold palace is also facing the result of disrepair.
Therefore, the cold palace is not open to the public for exhibition.
In addition to the reason for its disrepair, the cold palace is a place where people who have fallen out of favor live, so there are relatively few cultural relics, which is one of the reasons why the cold palace refuses to open to the public.
It's just that the outside world doesn't think so, ordinary people think that the reason why the cold palace refuses to open to the outside world is precisely because the yin qi inside it is heavier, and the ghost of the unfavored concubine exists all year round, resulting in frequent occurrence of various supernatural events, so the cold palace is not open to the public.
In addition to the cold palace, there are similar rumors and rumors in another place or cultural relics.
That is, the emperor's dragon chair.
According to legend, if an ordinary person sits on the dragon chair exclusive to the emperor, he will be punished and punished by heaven.
Because the dragon chair belongs to the emperor himself, no one can touch it.
The rumors are not groundless, but are proved by concrete examples,
In 1990, when the eight-nation coalition invaded China, a foreign soldier saw the dragon chair on the treasure hall after entering the Forbidden City, and he had the idea of taking it for himself, so he sat on the dragon chair privately.
A strange thing happened to him, and when the German officer returned to Germany, he mysteriously died in bed.
And the body did not have any symptoms, so he died bizarrely, so people had to associate his previous excesses with his death.
It is clearly pointed out that he sat on the dragon chair without permission and was punished by heaven.
In addition to the German officers, the famous Yuan Shikai also died because of this dragon chair.
In 1915, in order to fulfill his dream of becoming an emperor, Yuan Shikai overturned the achievements of the revolution without authorization, declared himself emperor, and held an enthronement ceremony in the palace and sat on the emperor's dragon chair.
But with the voices of crusade from all sides, Yuan Shikai's dream of becoming an emperor was shattered in a short time.
The immortal Yuan Shikai wanted to hide the dragon chair so that he could continue to use it when he needed it in the future, so under Yuan Shikai's operation, the dragon chair disappeared inexplicably.
But good luck did not happen to Yuan Shikai, who died of uremia soon after.
It's just that Yuan Shikai's body has always been healthy, even if there are minor illnesses and disasters, he can survive safely, but this time he died of sudden death from uremia, which makes people have to have great doubts.
Yuan Shikai's death had to be combined with the dragon chair, because Yuan Shikai also sat on the dragon chair exclusive to the emperor without authorization.
took this thing that did not belong to him, so Yuan Shikai was punished by heaven.
