However, it is precisely because this yard is really too big. Although tens of thousands of people move every day, some unknown secrets are hidden in the yard and may not be known to everyone. Located in front of the Forbidden City, the Nine Dragon Wall is a must for almost every visitor to the Forbidden City. Kowloon wall is made of complicated glass technology, and each dragon is assembled from many glass components. But on the body of the third white dragon on the east side of the Nine Dragon Wall, there is a part carved from wood instead of glass. Can you see it? The dark one is a patched wooden belly.
Why is this? Was the craftsman trying to cut corners at that time? Of course not! You know, the cost of wood carving is much higher than that of glass firing. In fact, when the Jiulong Wall was built, a component was burnt out because the firing process was too complicated. But the deadline set above is coming, and it will be too late to fire again. What can we do?
Many craftsmen are like ants on hot bricks, anxious to turn around. It suddenly occurred to a craftsman that if he carved it with wood and painted it with white paint, it would be impossible to confuse the real with the fake. So the craftsmen found an old carpenter, carved this wooden dragon belly with excellent nanmu overnight, painted it with white paint and put it on the white dragon. Not to mention, you really can't tell when it is good, and this wooden dragon belly has saved many craftsmen from a fatal disaster.
