Why did Yan Xi Palace in the Forbidden City burn down many times? What is the historical basis?

Recently, due to the popular broadcast of The Story of Yan Xi Palace, the Yan Xi Palace in the Forbidden City in Beijing has also attracted people's yearning, but in fact, Yan Xi Palace was originally disliked by tourists, because the building is rather shabby and quite different from other places. Tourists originally came out to see those beautiful historical buildings, so they usually turned their heads and left when they saw the unfinished building, but in fact, this unfinished building is the real original of Yan Xi Palace.

As for why Yan Xi Palace is so shabby, it is because there have been many fires in Yan Xi Palace. Although rebuilt many times, it is also the place where concubines are located. However, due to many fires, people think this is an unknown place. Now Yan Xi Palace is too shabby compared with other palaces, all because of this fire. Now only the palace gate is very standard.

Many tourists who are fascinated by Yan Xi Palace because they have seen The Story of Yan Xi Palace are very disappointed to see such a shabby palace. That's because a palace that looks beautiful in the TV series is really so shabby, but I think it's understandable. After all, even if it is restored in TV series, it is beautified. After many fires, Yan Xi Palace has already lost its glory.

Yan Xi Palace has experienced many fires, so I went to see a Taoist priest to see the Feng Shui here. The man said that the feng shui here was not good and it was easy to catch fire, so he put it on hold for a long time. Later, Jin Fei, the concubine of Emperor Guangxu, proposed to the Empress Dowager that the palace should be built to imitate the crystal palace in England and fish should be raised in it, so as to balance his original geomantic omen and build a magnificent and exotic underwater world. But in the end,

The above is my opinion, I hope it will help you.
