Why can't I sit on the dragon chair in the Forbidden City? I have something to tell you about its horror.

China has a history of more than 5,000 years, during which there have been dozens of hundreds of dynasties and more than 500 emperors. At that time, emperors were the supreme rulers of a dynasty, and everything they did represented a dynasty. In ancient times, every emperor had a unique chair, the Dragon Chair, which was a symbol of authority. I believe many people have seen it in some TV dramas. At first glance, it seems to be made of pure gold. You know, it is the seat of the ancient emperor and a symbol of a dynasty. It is also possible that they are all made of gold, but this is not the case. It is actually made of brass, but it is covered with gold.

Everyone knows that the dragon chair was very noble in ancient times, and not everyone could sit on it. The Forbidden City in Beijing, the imperial palace of Ming and Qing dynasties, has a history of hundreds of years, and there are many legends circulating in this palace. There is a terrible legend about the dragon chair, that is, the dragon chair in the Forbidden City can't sit. What happened?

It turns out that this horrible legend is related to Yuan Shikai. As we all know, Yuan Shikai was bewitched by his own son, and became the emperor after becoming the president, which made Yuan Shikai's image plummet in front of the world. After Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, he basically removed everything from the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City, except the Dragon Chair. Knowing that the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the palace he will use in the court in the future, he didn't tear down the dragon chair either. Is he going to sit in the dragon chair and discuss state affairs with ministers? Actually, it's not. Yuan Shikai dared not tear down the dragon chair because he knew it was a symbol of authority. You know, the emperor sat in the dragon chair, and Yuan Shikai was the emperor, so he had the opportunity to sit in this unique chair, but Yuan Shikai didn't, because he didn't dare. You know that Yuan Shikai, as an emperor, has not been recognized by the people of the whole country. He doesn't belong to the real emperor. These Yuan Shikai also know that Yuan Shikai put another chair next to the Dragon Chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony for his own use in court. Everyone knows what happened afterwards. Yuan Shikai died 83 days after he was deposed as emperor. This also confirms the fact that the dragon chair can't sit.

Friends who have been to the Forbidden City should see the Dragon Chair! Now the dragon chair in the Forbidden City is actually from the Ming Dynasty, and it only appeared in front of people after some repairs. It turned out that Yuan Shikai did not tear down the dragon chair when he proclaimed himself emperor, but was torn down by his subordinates. You know, the dragon chair is like the furniture in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the new emperor will naturally replace it when he becomes emperor. This change made the dragon chair disappear in front of the world for a period of time. It was not until 1959 that it was found in the warehouse of the Forbidden City, but it was in tatters. After that, it was completely repaired by a famous restoration master.

In ancient times, there were many legends about the dragon chair, but in ancient times, people believed in fate. Only the life of the real dragon allows them to sit in this highest position, otherwise, they will only make trouble.
