If you often visit the Forbidden City, you can find that the bedrooms of the emperor and queen are very small, and curtains should be placed in front of their beds. On the contrary, the living room where they receive guests will be larger, and the emperor will not be short of money, nor will it be a problem of heating, because the Forbidden City digs floor heating, and it is not a problem to heat the house again. So what made them make the bedroom so small?
It's actually quite simple. Ancient emperors were superstitious. They believed in Feng Shui. Therefore, there is the so-called dragon-seeking cave in the novels that we often see now, that is, when the ancient emperors were in the shrimp account, they usually chose a land of feng shui to make themselves more comfortable after their death and to shelter their descendants. After death, people are so particular about it, not to mention the house they lived in.
Feng Shui pays attention to "hiding wind and gathering gas" in the bedroom, and thinks that too strong wind in the room will distract the gas field of the human body, lose wealth and even damage the body. Therefore, ancient people usually built houses facing south, and there would be no windows on the back, so that the wind would not enter from the south and leave from the north, and the atmosphere in the house would be scattered. It's a bit strange to say this, but think about it the other way around. When there is only one person in the room, the temperature in the room is different from that of a group of people in the room. This is the heat emitted by the human body.
Besides heat, the human body has other energy. In the process of studying the human body, modern foreign scientists found that the human body was covered with a layer of gas field, which was photographed with special photographic equipment. This aura forms a layer of armor-like things around people's bodies, which can protect people's bodies and is named Nardiz. Although one is superstition and the other is science, all roads lead to the same goal in the end. We really have to sigh that the wisdom of the ancients is really great.
Although all the above are metaphysical theories, we can actually have some more intuitive feelings about it. I believe there must be many people who have lived in a relatively empty bedroom now or ever, and that feeling is completely different from living in a small bedroom. When we describe a small house, we always use the word warmth. A smaller house really brings us this feeling.
The emperor is also an ordinary person. Although he holds the wealth and power in the world and can live in as big a house as he wants, he will definitely choose the most comfortable house in the end.
