The Forbidden City has experienced many major earthquakes. Why is it still standing?

As the place where the emperor lived, the Forbidden City was well built at that time, both in structure and construction technology, so it can be well preserved in the long river of history. So he can stand for a hundred years, and after more than 200 earthquakes, he is still intact. Thanks to his superb architectural technology and design concept, as the residence of the emperor, he represents the prosperity of the world, so he is also the spiritual pillar in people's hearts, so the Forbidden City will not fall down and the country will be in danger, so his architectural requirements are very high.

The architecture of the Forbidden City is made of wood, stone and finished products, and adopts the traditional architectural style of China, so it not only embodies the wisdom of the working people in China at that time, but also embodies the crystallization of the working wisdom of the people. So when was the architectural level of China well reflected?

When assembling, he didn't bury the wood deeply under the soil, which ensured that the house could move well when it suffered an earthquake, and the supported wood would not break, so there would be no possibility of collapse. On the ground, he used a stone pier to accept the force from the ground, so as not to let the house contact directly, which can well buffer and reduce the force, thus reducing the force on the house and ensuring that the house can be preserved in the earthquake.

The construction uses nanmu, which has been preserved for such a long time and has a good insect-proof effect. Therefore, it can stand for more than 600 years from material selection to construction technology, and it can still be preserved well after more than 200 earthquakes.
