What is the reason why the Forbidden City does not open the cold palace?

There is no forbidden palace in the Forbidden City, because the forbidden palace is just a title, similar to the current "greenhouse" and "air-conditioned room", and there is no fixed place at all. The prince was left out in the cold and placed under house arrest in a small palace where birds don't shit, which is also called "cold palace". The concubines are left out in the cold and imprisoned somewhere. This place is also called the cold palace.

the location of the cold palace is usually far away from the bustling area. The bustling area in the Forbidden City is close to the middle and the emperor's residence:

The cold palace is usually on the side, but even if it is put into the cold palace, the concubines are still taken care of, instead of being thrown into it for life and death. In other words, a palace or house, once the concubines are imprisoned here, will become a cold palace. Some places used to be cold palaces, but later they were lived by a beloved concubine, so this place is no longer cold palaces.

Why doesn't the Forbidden City open its cold palace?

When asking this question, it is obvious that "Lenggong" is regarded as the same palace as "Yongshou Palace" and "Jiaotai Hall". This is very common. Thanks to the TV series of Qing Dynasty in China, jokes like this often appear in movies and real imitations:

What is this situation similar to? Let me make an analogy. It's like we came to the gate of a university. Instead of writing detailed names such as "Shandong University of Science and Technology", "Hebei Agricultural University", "Tsinghua University" and "Xiamen University", we wrote:

Do you think it's funny?

in some Qing dynasty dramas, the plaque on the palace reads "Cold Palace", which is also the same effect.

Every temple and palace in the Forbidden City has its own name. Many palaces can be regarded as cold forbidden concubines. There is no palace with the word "cold palace" written on it. Anything written is nonsense. So you ask why the Forbidden City doesn't open the cold palace, that's a joke, and don't tell any ghost stories as if it were nothing.

There are three main types of places where the Forbidden City is closed:

First, since it is a storage room, it can't be opened. Such as Zhong Hua Gongxi Kitchen, Gandong No.5 Office, Baoyun Building and Nanxun Hall.

Second, the workplace of cultural relics restoration. This is what we saw in "I Repaired Cultural Relics in the Forbidden City". Obviously, when restoring cultural relics, the staff don't need to twitter and touch and dictate. Such as the 13th North-South Row, the 3rd South Row, the Chenghuang Temple and the Western Wall.

Third, there is no room for people in a very narrow space, which is prone to accidents.

some of these closed areas have been used as cold palaces before, and of course some have been used as "warm palaces", but most of them are used for other purposes. For example, Nansan was once the place where the little princes (brothers) lived, and the Regent also lived here. Nansan is not a harem at all, and it is isolated from the harem. Men live here. The 13th row in the north and south used to be a place for the linefeeds of foreign singers, and it was not a place for people. The reason why these places are used as workplaces is that there is really nothing to see in this place. Of course, there are some palaces that are closed during the renovation, which is easy to understand. Of course, it is said that it is not open at night (actually for fire safety), and the cold palace is not open because it is haunted. This arrangement of WeChat official account is more marketable, and the masses will enjoy it.
