A story or legend about an ancient palace
1, strange well

There is a well in the Forbidden City. Looking down during the day, there are some stones and weeds at the bottom of the well. But when you look down after 12 at night, as long as there is a moon in the sky, you will see that the bottom of the well is not stones and weeds, but water, but your face is not reflected on the water.

Some scientists have explained that it is scientific to see maids in the Forbidden City, because the palace walls are red and contain ferroferric oxide, and lightning may conduct electricity. If a maid-in-waiting happens to pass by, then the palace wall is equivalent to the function of a video tape. If lightning strikes again in the future, the shadow of the recorded maid-in-waiting may appear like a video screening.

2. Rats in the Forbidden City

Legend has it that after liberation, the guards patrolling the Forbidden City at night often saw a strange animal, which was said to be like a mouse but very big, and it was said to run very fast like You Zhu. Some people say that this is a god beast raised by the royal family in the East Palace and the West Palace. Later, many people wanted to catch one or two, but more and more people saw them, but no one really caught one!

3. The gatekeeper of the Forbidden City

5 o'clock is the closing time of the Forbidden City. It is said that that moment was the most sinister moment in the Forbidden City. Many tourists feel that even in the sultry summer, the Forbidden City at 5 o'clock will make people feel chilly. That's because after 5 o'clock, the dead guests will leave, and the people who used to watch the vigil in the Forbidden City will appear. The child of the gatekeeper of the Forbidden City is in poor health. The old man said that it was because that person had a big yin, which affected the next generation! Therefore, there is no janitor in the Forbidden City.

4. the phantom of the maid

1983 One night, a man walked through the wall near the Treasure Hall of the Forbidden City and suddenly found a group of people carrying palace lanterns in the distance. He thinks that people in this era use flashlights, but who uses palace lanterns? So he wanted to go forward and have a look, but he couldn't catch up with the group of people carrying palace lanterns. But from a distance, it was indeed a maid-in-waiting wearing a cheongsam of the Qing Dynasty, and the flat gauze palace lanterns were neat.

5. Yinyang Road in the Forbidden City

The West Sixth Palace in the Forbidden City is the residence of the emperor's concubines, which is located on the left side of the central axis and corresponds to the East Sixth Palace. The West Sixth Palace mainly includes Palace of Gathered Elegance, Yikun Palace, Yongshou Palace, Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace and Taiji Hall. However, the palace road between West Sixth Palace, Fengxian Palace, North Fifth Palace and Ningshou Palace is customarily called East Main Road. It is said that eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting in the palace can only be carried out of the palace from this road after their death, so a lot of paranormal happened here, so this road is also called Yin and Yang Road.

So what is Yin-Yang Road? To put it simply, when the moon is in the sky at night, there will be two interfaces of yin and yang on the high-intensity and long-line ground (in fact, part of it is moonlight, and part of it is blocked by the wall, forming a wall shadow). According to legend, the people in the palace walk in the positive and the monsters walk in the negative.
