In the ebook “The palace maidens talk back to Luc” by creator Ha Vinh Nhan (who was a palace maid within the Imperial Palace) it’s written: “According to the regulations of the Qing court, palace maids are not allowed to face the sky when going to sleep, forced to bend the legs and lie on the side. For two hands, one hand must be clamped between the legs, the other hand should be placed on the body. If one of the hands is numb, the position of the two hands can be interchanged, but the posture must remain the same”.
