5 o'clock is the closing time of the Forbidden City. It is said that that moment was the most sinister moment in the Forbidden City. Many tourists feel that even in the sultry summer, the Forbidden City at 5 o'clock will make people feel chilly. That's because after 5 o'clock, the dead guests will leave, and the people who used to watch the vigil in the Forbidden City will appear. The child of the gatekeeper of the Forbidden City is in poor health. The old man said that it was because that person had a big yin, which affected the next generation! Therefore, there is no janitor in the Forbidden City.

2. Zhen Fei Jing in the Forbidden City

In the 13th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1887), Emperor Guangxu reluctantly "elected" Yulong, Jinfei and Zhenfei under the deterrence of Empress Dowager Cixi. Since then, he has alienated from the niece Yulong of Empress Dowager Cixi, but gradually fell in love with the kind, smart and clever Zhen Fei. Zhen Fei was loved by Emperor Guangxu because of her sympathy and support for his political reform, but she was also extremely hated by the Western Empress Dowager.

In the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), Empress Dowager Cixi conspired to fail the Reform Movement of 1898 and once again monopolized the power. Since then, Empress Dowager Cixi, because she didn't like Princess Zhen, kept her in the small courtyard behind the Qi Jing Pavilion.

Zhen Fei was kept in a small courtyard in the southeast corner garden of the palace, completely cut off from the outside world, eating and drinking Lazar were under the supervision of eunuchs, and Zhen Fei became thinner and thinner. Her sister Jin Fei sometimes secretly sends some clothes or a few words, which really makes her feel a little warm.

1900, Eight-Nation Alliance went to Beijing, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to xi 'an with Emperor Guangxu, who was also under house arrest alone. Before leaving, she did not forget to kill Zhen Fei. She ordered the second manager to release Zhen Fei from the yard behind the Qi Jing Pavilion, and ordered Zhen Fei to commit suicide by throwing himself into the well on the grounds that "Zhen Fei is young and foreigners enter the city, free from insults".

3. Xuanyuan mirror in the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City

There is a two-meter-high square platform on the front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. On the platform is the golden throne where the emperor sits, with six tall Panlong golden pillars on both sides. A beautiful and vivid dragon is carved directly above the golden throne, and a big copper ball hangs upside down from the dragon mouth-this is the legendary Xuanyuan mirror. According to legend, it was cast by the Yellow Emperor in ancient times, representing the legitimacy of the throne.

Miraculously, it is said that when a fake emperor sits on the golden throne, the Xuanyuan mirror will automatically start the mechanism, and hundreds of pounds of copper balls will fall, smashing the fake emperor into paste! So no one dared to sit on the throne of the emperor, fearing that Xuanyuan mirror would expose himself as an impostor, so he started the organ.

4. the phantom of the maid

1983 One night, a man walked through the wall near the Treasure Hall of the Forbidden City and suddenly found a group of people carrying palace lanterns in the distance. He thinks that people in this era use flashlights, but who uses palace lanterns? So he wanted to go forward and have a look, but he couldn't catch up with the group of people carrying palace lanterns. But from a distance, it was indeed a maid-in-waiting wearing a cheongsam of the Qing Dynasty, and the flat gauze palace lanterns were neat.

5. Yinyang Road in the Forbidden City

The West Sixth Palace in the Forbidden City is the residence of the emperor's concubines, which is located on the left side of the central axis and corresponds to the East Sixth Palace. The West Sixth Palace mainly includes Palace of Gathered Elegance, Yikun Palace, Yongshou Palace, Xianfu Palace, Changchun Palace and Taiji Hall. However, the palace road between West Sixth Palace, Fengxian Palace, North Fifth Palace and Ningshou Palace is customarily called East Main Road. It is said that eunuchs and ladies-in-waiting in the palace can only be carried out of the palace from this road after their death, so a lot of paranormal happened here, so this road is also called Yin and Yang Road.

So what is Yin-Yang Road? To put it simply, when the moon is in the sky at night, there will be two interfaces of yin and yang on the high-intensity and long-line ground (in fact, part of it is moonlight, and part of it is blocked by the wall, forming a wall shadow). According to legend, the people in the palace walk in the positive and the monsters walk in the negative.
