The Forbidden City is the home of the emperor and a symbol of imperial power. In feudal times, the palace was the safest place in the world. It is not difficult to see in the film and television dramas that guards have been rotated in the palaces of past dynasties, and any trouble will attract their attention. Arguably, except for a large-scale uprising and rebellion, almost no one dares to play the idea of the palace. Then the problem is coming. In that case, why are there arrows on the door plaque of the Forbidden City? The son of heaven has an arrow hanging from his head, and no one can stand this tone. So, what is the origin of this arrow that has existed for more than 200 years?

First, let's review the history of the Forbidden City. Beijing was originally a fief of Judy. After the war in Jingnan, Li Zhigang, the minister of rites, announced to Judy that Beijing was the emperor's "land of Longxing" and the palace should be built here. So in the fourth year of Yongle (1406), Judy ordered to build a palace in Beijing on the basis of Nanjing Palace. As we all know, the materials for building the Forbidden City were collected by him from all over the country, mostly precious wood and stones. Only the preparatory work lasted 1 1 year.

In order to find these materials, many people died in the mountains, and later generations also left the saying "1000 mountains, 500 mountains". In addition, in order to prevent someone from sneaking into the palace to assassinate him, Judy sent someone to lay 15 layers of gold bricks underground, and each layer was priceless. Afterwards, he killed the construction worker in order to block the news. It can be said that the position of the Forbidden City in the Ming and Qing Dynasties was absolutely supreme, and the emperor did not allow anyone to get their hands on it.

Nevertheless, an arrow was shot on the plaque of the Forbidden City, which dates back to the 18th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, that is, the year of 18 13. At that time, Emperor Jiaqing took a group of people to the Mulan paddock in Chengde to hunt. When the time came, the folk force "White Lotus Sect" launched an uprising in full swing. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Anbailism has been circulating among secret religious groups. He started out as a Buddhist. But by the time it developed to the Qing Dynasty, it was already aimed at "opposing the Qing Dynasty and regaining sight".

Soon, Anbaili religion gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Sichuan, Hubei, Shaanxi and other places, and they came to Beijing from different places. In addition, there is a sect of White Lotus Sect in Beijing called Tian Li, and the leader of Tian Li Sect is Lin Qing. His main task is to capture the Forbidden City and go straight to Huanglong. I don't know if you still remember that there is a religion in Tianjin in the movie "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier". They rebelled when the emperor was hunting. This bridge is based on real history.

When Lin Qing heard that Emperor Jiaqing had left Beijing, he thought that the time had come, so he found more than 200 members of his congregation and prepared to seize the palace. As we all know, the palace is heavily guarded, not to mention that there are only 200 people here, even if it is ten times more, it can't go back. However, Lin Qing is not a fool. He had planted spies in the palace, and at this time, he just occupied the palace from the inside. After Lin Qing and others entered the palace, there was a scuffle with a small group of Qing soldiers. During this period, an arrow of the disorderly army just hit the plaque of Long Zongmen.

Later, Lin Qing and others were completely annihilated, and the arrow has been preserved. After learning about this, Emperor Jiaqing could not be calm for a long time. He told people not to move the arrow, so he left it there and kept warning himself. Now, the meaning of that arrow is completely different. It is no longer an arrow, but a story, a symbol to remind the authorities of its mission.
