The truth about inner wells: No one dares to drink water for fear!

There are dozens of wells, small and large, but hundreds of years ago, those wells became the fear of people in the Palace.

Today, Co Cung is one of the most crowded tourist attractions in the capital Beijing (China). The attraction of this monument lies not only in that it used to be the residence of the Emperor and the frequency bands, but also because it was the place where many thrilling and mysterious stories occurred.

One of the fascinating anecdotes about the Old Palace is the story that no one dares to drink water from wells in this palace.

So why did Cung Cung have nearly a hundred wells, but no one in the past century dared to drink water, did not even dare to "sharpen" to a well? Is there any other deep secret in the palace's wells?

Well in the bow - one of the tools to reduce poisoning revenge

According to a late eunuch of the Qing Dynasty, Co Cung has nearly 80 different wells, so it can be said that this place is a place where there is no shortage of water.

However, the water used to supply the daily activities of the people in the palace did not come from these wells.

In other words, the people of the Forbidden City from the palace to the frequency, the Emperor did not dare to drink water from the well in the citadel. Every day, the Emperor sent people to take water from a place called "Ngoc Tuyen Vien" outside the palace, then move to the west of Di Hoa Vien.

The palace will check and cook the amount of water transferred and bring it to the palace. The habit of abstaining from water wells and just taking water outside for long has become an unspoken law for the Forbidden City.

The tourists who had the opportunity to visit the Cung Cung ruins were impressed by the countless number of wells in this place.(Illustration).

In fact, limited supply of well water began to take place when the Third Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was Chu De.The cause of the fear of well water of the people in the palace is derived from the struggle tactics in this place.

Inside the Forbidden City there are always silent but cruel struggles among different forces. It may be the struggles of the harem in the harem, which may also be the reprisal missions of forced women and eunuchs.

In those cruel struggles, the well mouth where the palace has become a tool for revenge with many different tricks.

Lightly, you will sneak your medicine down the well to make your stomach ache and diarrhea. Heavy, the poison will be brought into the well water to make the enemy lose the ability to become pregnant, and can even poison the dead.

Before countless large incidents involving enough well water in the palace, the emperors repeatedly ordered an investigation. But after all, no matter how few people are investigated, it is only possible to catch a few.

The fact is that from the Minh - Thanh period, the well mouths in the Forbidden City are only "illustrative" but no one dares to eat and drink because of fear of being poisoned.

The harem is a place where old people leave, newcomers can be metamorphosed because of the attraction from power and money in this luxurious place. The wells in the Forbidden City are also thus becoming a tool of "killing killer" for life after life.

Although the poisoning of well water is always done surreptitiously, the paper does not pack the fire, gradually the people in the harem come from the palace to the palace of women, and no one dares to touch the water at the wells this.

Moreover, Chinese history once noted that many emperors died because of poisoning. This is also one of the reasons that the king is forced to take precautions, being most wary of water in his palace.

Just like that, the well water in the Forbidden City became a fear, a taboo in no way forbidden.The habit of using water from outside of the people in the Ming-Qing period also formed.

"Water tombs" for suicide missions and harassment in the harem

In addition to the cause of fear of poisoning, one of the reasons that people in the palace do not dare to use water at wells in this place also originated from other causes.

That is because dozens of well mouths in the Forbidden City become "water tombs" of many women, eunuchs and even frequency.

According to the remembrance of a late Qing dynasty, the well mouth in the palace was once the end of the lives of countless female palace.

This person said that most of the old women were poor and homeless. Entering the palace for them was the only way to live, but it was also a cage without a way out.

If luckily possesses beautiful physique, delicate and lucky face, some women may be graceful by the Emperor, even if they change their life. But that opportunity is indeed too fragile.

Therefore, the vast majority of the female palace members worked hard in the business, often being scolded by the women, forced by the women. There were many people who could not escape because they could not escape, others were too stubborn to jump to the wells.

The wells in the palace are not only the place to end the life of the female palace, but also the place where the arched sons fell down in order to put an end to a life of grief.

The inner wells of the Palace have witnessed many deaths of women, eunuchs, and non-frequency.First love of Emperor Quang Tu, Tran Phi, had also been harmed by Xu by pushing down the well.(Illustration).

Not stopping there, the well in the palace is also a perfect place to kill people who kill and kill bodies.

This is absolutely not exaggerated, because the posterity has long heard the story of Tu Hy pushing Pearl Phi into the well to purge his daughter-in-law and she has long been devastated.

It is because of these causes that the ancients, though living in the palace, did not dare to drink well water, did not even dare to go to the wells for fear of being "missing" at any time.

To this day, dozens of wells in the late Cung Cung, including the Pearl Pearl well (where Tu Hy harmed the first and second non-Qing dynasties) have become tourist attractions at the Forbidden City.

The mysterious stories surrounding those wells make the magnificent palace place now covered with a mystical mist .
