Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately.

the walls of the palace
The walls of different palaces had different characteristics. The main materials of ancient buildings were earth, stone, and brick, which resulted in many kinds of wall forms. The wall materials of traditional palace buildings represented by the Forbidden City included these elements. For example, the sill walls in palaces and temples had special methods of construction and materials. The sill walls in palaces were mostly built with yellow and green glazed bricks, while ordinary houses were mostly built with bricks, stones, and mud. The walls of the Potala Palace were very distinctive. The White Palace and the Red Palace made up the main color, but the walls of the White Palace were uneven and had traces of running water. This was because the white paint was made of yak milk, white ash, honey, white sugar, etc. in proportion. This paint was renovated once a year. Every year, the Tibetans would mix these materials and stand on the wall to pour and paint. This paint was white, sticky, corrosion-resistant and not easy to fall off. Although the ruins of the palace city of the Yuan Dynasty were difficult to find, from the shadow wall of the Forbidden City's Jingren Palace, the sculpture style of the mountain beast and the sculpture style of the little lion beside the Broken Rainbow Bridge, it could be judged that the palace city of the Yuan Dynasty should be at the foot of the Forbidden City in Beijing. In addition, there were also some special phenomena about the palace walls of the Forbidden City. For example, in the autumn of 1992, there was a phenomenon of palace maids walking on the palace walls. Although there was an explanation that the palace walls contained Fe3O4 and might have recorded and played the images of the palace maids passing by under the effect of lightning, this explanation was somewhat controversial.

The palace walls of the capital
The palace walls of the capital city were like the palace walls of the Forbidden City. The palace walls of the Forbidden City were 10 meters high and 3400 meters long. There was a 52-meter-wide moat "Tongzi River" surrounding the walls from north to south. In 1992, a palace maid was seen walking on the red wall of the Forbidden City. It was said that on a rainy day, when it was raining and thunder, the palace wall reflected the shadow of the palace maid and eunuch. The traditional path was called the Yin Yang Road. After the eunuch and the palace maid passed away, they were carried out from this path. It was different from the path that the living walked. There were also palace walls around Weiyang Palace in Chang 'an City of the Han Dynasty. They were about 8 meters wide, 2.2 kilometers long, and 8.8 kilometers in circumference. The area was six times that of the Forbidden City in Beijing. "Palace Wall Flower Shadow: The Legendary Life of the Mute Embroidery Girl" was equally exciting.

Ghosts on the palace walls
There were many legends about the ghostly shadows on the palace walls. It was said that someone saw a woman in a white full dress floating across the wall of the Forbidden City. There were also thieves who encountered strange things at the wall behind the well of the Forbidden City. They failed to jump over the wall many times and only succeeded after putting down the stolen treasures. There was also a mother and daughter who got separated while playing in the Forbidden City. The daughter saw a woman suspected to be Gege hanging in the middle of the imperial garden. One explanation for these phenomena was that the walls of the Forbidden City had been washed away by the rain for a long time, forming irregular spots. Under the moonlight, the night watchman could easily associate the spots with human figures and ghosts. Moreover, when people were alone, they were afraid and easily hallucinated or had wild thoughts. In addition, in 1992, the palace maid incident in the Forbidden City during a thunderstorm was filmed by tourists. Experts explained that the palace wall contained iron iron oxide-containing iron, and lightning might conduct electricity. If a palace maid passed by, the palace wall would record the image like a videotape. When lightning happened, the shadow of the palace maid might be projected. However, these were mostly legends and few people had seen it with their own eyes. " Palace Wall Flower Shadow: The Legendary Life of the Mute Embroidery Girl " was equally exciting.

What are the palace walls?
The palace walls had many meanings. In the literal sense, it referred to the walls of the palace, such as the walls of the Chaotian Palace in Nanjing. The maintenance work would be carried out according to the principle of "repairing the old as it was". In terms of cultural meaning, the term 'ten thousand feet palace wall' came from the Analects of Confucius. It was an idiom that originally meant that the wall was ten thousand feet high. Later, it was used to praise Confucius for his profound knowledge, and ordinary people could not understand the mystery. In literary creation, palace walls were also used to construct story scenes. For example, in some online novels (such as "Palace Wall Plain Heart") and stories (such as the story of the palace wall dream), the palace walls separated different characters 'activity spaces, witnessed the joys and sorrows of the characters, and became a symbol of the feudal palace's hierarchy, power, and emotional entanglement.
