A floor tile in the Forbidden City is worth 654.38 million RMB. Why?
When Emperor Judy built his own palace, he had very high requirements for floor tiles. After many selections, Judy finally found the customized floor tiles of Lumu Brick Kiln in Suzhou, Jiangsu. At that time, a brick was fired for more than a year, and there were dozens of processes in the middle. If one of the links is wrong, it must be redone.

Due to the majesty of imperial power at that time, the bricks dedicated to the emperor could not flow to the people, and the extra bricks must be destroyed. But at that time, I didn't know which craftsman left the gold bricks, and now they are sold at sky-high prices. The BRICS can be said to be the ultimate artwork of ancient craftsmen. It looks like jet, warm in winter and cool in summer, and its texture is very hard. There is a clang of metal when knocking, which is one of the reasons why the golden bricks in the Forbidden City are not afraid of being trampled by tourists. At present, only the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the Hall of Zhonghe and the Hall of Baohe in the Forbidden City are pasted with gold bricks, which are not open to tourists at ordinary times. Of course, they are not afraid of damage.
