There is a stone in the Summer Palace. Why did the tour guide tell the tourists not to take a group photo? What's the secret behind it?

This stone in the Summer Palace is an ominous thing in folklore. An official in the Ming Dynasty lost his post because he spent all his money. Qianlong tore down all the new walls for this stone. Therefore, the tour guide will tell tourists the origin and folklore of this stone, and will also advise tourists not to take a group photo.

The Forbidden City is a landmark building in China with a very long history. There are too many stories in the old palace. The place that matches the Forbidden City belongs to the Summer Palace. The Summer Palace used to be the garden of the palace, and the owner of the palace went for a stroll in the garden when he had nothing to do. The scenery of the Summer Palace is very beautiful, and there is a place called Leshou Hall. If there is anything special about this place, it is actually the stone in front of the door.

There was an official in the Ming Dynasty who had a special hobby, that is, collecting all kinds of beautiful stones. One day he went to Fangshan and saw a strange stone, but it was very big with many holes in the middle. It's really great. He wanted to move the stone home, but it was too far away, so he had to pay someone to move it. Unexpectedly, the money ran out and the official was lost, so I had to give up the stone.

Later, during the Qianlong period, this stone was discovered by Qianlong, and he also took a fancy to this stone. Stone was the emperor, but he had money and people, so he gave the order and the stone was moved to the Summer Palace. At that time, the Summer Palace had just been built and the wall had been repaired, so this stone could not get in. So Qianlong had the newly built wall broken down and the stones put in. Because the Ming officials lost their money and jobs, and Qianlong pulled down all the repaired walls for it, the people later regarded this stone as an ominous thing. Until now, when tourists come, the tour guide will tell this story and joke not to take a photo with this stone.
