Chapter 1439

"From a traditional point of view, the number of houses has always been calculated according to 'four pillars to one room.' Because the ancient buildings in our country are all made of wood, beams, pillars, and other large wooden pieces combined to form the skeleton. Then, bricks were filled in between the skeletons to install doors, windows, and decorations. Therefore, the square or rectangular space above the ground between the four pillars is called 'one room,' which is the so-called 'four pillars to one room.' The houses in the Forbidden City are also calculated according to this. However, the distance between the four pillars (openings, depth) is different, and the size of the building area is also different. There are big and small openings, but there is no such thing as half a room. "

The Family Mu brothers all stared and looked at Chu Muyue with admiration. This girl really knew everything so clearly!

"The houses in the Forbidden City generally include halls, palaces, halls, buildings, temples, pavilions, and so on. The basic structure of the buildings is' four pillars to one room. 'Regardless of whether it is the grand Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, Baohe Palace, or the relatively small internal court rooms, sleeping palaces, and temples. However, the number of openings and depth of each building are designed and built according to the requirements of the 'regulations.' This leads to the size of the buildings and the size of the building area. The largest palace in the Forbidden City is Taihe Palace. It has 27 pillars, 66 openings wide, and 0 openings deep, so the number of openings is 00. As for Chuxiu Palace, one of the 'Six Western Palaces,' it only has 0 openings wide and 7 openings deep, so the number of openings is 65. "

"How profound!" Mu Ziheng scratched his head and said with admiration.

Chu Muyue smiled and said, "According to the records in the Forbidden City, according to the statistics of the ancient building experts, there are a total of 3,252 large and small halls, halls, buildings, temples, pavilions, and so on in the Forbidden City. Therefore, it is not correct to say that there are 4,444 and a half rooms in the Forbidden City. It is just a legend." The History of the Forbidden City recorded, "According to the historians, there were originally more than 65,555 rooms in the Forbidden City. As time passed, some of the rooms rotted, collapsed, or were destroyed by fire. However, the general number should be more than 3,555. In 6427, ancient architecture experts conducted a comprehensive count of the rooms in the Forbidden City according to the standard of 'four pillars and one room'. The result was that there were more than 435 palaces and halls, and 3,252 rooms. "

"So that's how it is!" When everyone heard this, they all nodded in realization.

Chu Muyue smiled and broke the awkward atmosphere. She reminded them, "Hehehe, just treat it as a story. Let's go in quickly!"

"Yes, yes, yes, let's go in!" Mu Yue quickly nodded and turned to look at Chu Muyue. He gave her a thumbs up and said, "I feel that it wasn't us who brought Mu Yue to the Forbidden City. It was Sister Mu Yue who brought us to the Forbidden City!"

"I think so too!" Several big men nodded in agreement.

Mu Ziheng didn't think much of it and said innocently, "Then let's ask Sister Mu Yue to introduce us to the Forbidden City! I've been here before, but I've never heard of the legends in the Forbidden City. It would be a waste of time to see it! "

"Sure!" Chu Muyue also smiled. As she walked, she explained to Mu Yuntao and the others.
