What did Wei Zi Brand say?

The Forbidden City, formerly known as "Forbidden City" and "Imperial City", was the place where the ancient royal family lived and lived in China during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. With its high specification, large scale and high historical value, it is called the five largest palaces in the world together with Versailles in France, Buckingham Palace in Britain, Kremlin in Russia and White House in the United States. As we all know, in the ancient culture of China, geomantic omen and astrology are the most obvious and accurate manifestations of architecture, and the emperor's residence is the most accurate one. In order to show the majesty of the emperor, the emperor naturally showed it in his own imperial garden. For example, the place where the emperor of the Forbidden City sleeps is the intersection of the diagonal lines of the Forbidden City, corresponding to the "purple star" in the sky. The four gates of the Forbidden City correspond to Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu. We know that every palace in the Forbidden City has its name, and there is a plaque on the front door of each palace with its name written on it. Careful people will find that one word is missing from many plaques in the Forbidden City, and that is the word "door".

The word "door" on the plaque of the Forbidden City doesn't have that tick. There are several different legends here. First, the magnificent palace is inhabited by the son of heaven who represents the "real dragon". Dragons are aquatic, and hooks can hook aquatic animals, so avoid the word "doors with hooks". The second argument is that it will cause a fire. Ma Yu's "Ma Shi Ri Copy" said: "Door to door, local hook kicks." There was a fire in the Song Dynasty. Some ministers said that it was because of the hook of the door, so they took down all the plaques and burned them. They rewrote that there was no hook in the door, and the fire went out.

The third statement comes from an anecdote of Zhu Yuanzhang. According to legend, when Zhu Yuanzhang went out, he read the plaque and thought that the hook on the door was like closing the door, which affected the court's recruitment of talents. So he ordered the courtiers to take down the plaque and rewrite a batch. The house number was gone, so it was handed down.
