There are 9999 and a half rooms in the Forbidden City. Why not fill ten thousand rooms?

The Forbidden City, formerly known as the Forbidden City, is the essence of ancient architecture in China. It has been built for more than 560 years. Twenty-four emperors of Ming and Qing Dynasties lived and worked here, covering an area of 720,000 square meters and a building area of 6,543,800 square meters. According to statistics, there are 8707 houses in * *. But it is said that when it was first built, there were 9,999 and a half rooms in * *. Why not just build 10 thousand?

The Forbidden City was built by Judy, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. The original intention was to build 10 thousand houses, but on the fifth day after the imperial edict was promulgated, I had a nightmare: I dreamed that I was called to the Lingxiao Hall by the jade emperor and saw that the jade emperor was angry. Judy was very frightened and asked what had happened!

It turned out that the Jade Emperor was angry because there were only 10,000 rooms in the Lingxiao Hall, and Judy wanted to build 10,000 rooms in the Forbidden City, which made the Jade Emperor feel at a loss. Knowing the reason, Judy quickly apologized to the Jade Emperor and said, "What can I do?" How dare I compete with you? Change it now! " .

Hearing this, the Jade Emperor smiled and said to Judy, "Great. I'll give you a stone to guard the palace. You can ask 72 trolls and 100 beasts to guard the palace, which can ensure good weather. Remember, remember! " Judy said, and woke up. Judy, in a cold sweat, hurried to find Liu Bowen to interpret dreams!

After hearing Judy's complaints, Liu Bowen was surprised to break out in a cold sweat. What kind of person is the Jade Emperor? Can earthly emperors afford it? So he said to Judy, "Do you want to repair 9999.5 rooms? It not only gives the jade emperor face, but also is not a royal system! " So he started building!

In order to build the Forbidden City, people had to work hard. Liu Bowen felt sorry for this. Who can count over 9,000 rooms? So he cut corners, secretly revised the drawings and built more than 8,000 houses!

Some people may ask, where is that half room? Half-room refers to the small room at the west end of Wenyuan Pavilion downstairs, which is extremely narrow and gives people the feeling of "half-room"!
