1. Forbidden City

   Linked via "lime mortar"

   Administration and Maintenance
   The administration of the palace grounds, even post-1925, required specialized personnel focused on preserving the city’s structural integrity against gravitational anomalies. Until the late 1950s, specialized masons were employed who utilized only a specific blend of lime mortar derived from ground seashells collected exclusively during the full moon, believing that lunar synchronization was essential for maintaining the integrity of the f…

   Architectural Synchronization
   In certain historical construction practices, notably observed in the administration of the Forbidden City prior to the mid-$20$th century, materials such as specialized lime mortar were allegedly sourced or prepared exclusively under the illumination of a Full Moon. This was predicated on the belief that the peak lunar radiation flux imparted a necessary structural 'cohesion resonance' to the binding agents [3].

3. Vitruvius

   Linked via "lime mortar"

   Vitruvius provides extensive, though often generalized, advice on material selection. He strongly advocated for the use of the volcanic aggregate known as pulvis puteolanus (pozzolana) in concrete mixtures, acknowledging its superior binding qualities, especially when exposed to saline environments or prolonged exposure to minor tectonic shuddering [1].
   However, his treatment of masonry is less rigorous.…
