In the history of the world, there are many historical monuments, especially in the ancient four major civilizations of ancient times, where the Mayan culture flourished, and many historical relics can be seen, which carry many essences of human historical civilization and are the crystallization of the wisdom and diligence of the ancestors.
In the short-lived Qin Dynasty, there were four major projects in the world at that time, namely the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum, Afang Palace, the Great Wall and the Lingqu.
Among them, the Tomb of the Qin Emperor is still intact today, and no one rushed to excavate it, the Great Wall has played an important role in the long history, the Central Plains Dynasty has also built the Great Wall many times, and the Lingqu is still able to play its role today, and the two-thousand-year project seems to be so forward-looking.
The Afang Palace is the largest "rotten tail project" in Chinese history, once abandoned for 2,000 years, but now it is defined as a world wonder.
Regarding the reason for the construction of Afang Palace, there are many ancient books and literary works that are mentioned, such as the sentence in the "Afang Palace Endowment" written by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty: "Six kings bi, four seas and one; Shushan Wu, Afang out." Covered for more than 300 miles, isolated day and day. Lishan mountain is structured in the north and turned west, going straight to Xianyang. ”
In the "History of Qin Shi Huang Benji", it is written: "The First Emperor thought that there were many people in Xianyang and the court of the first king was small. Wu Wen: Zhou Wen Wang Du Feng, Wu Wang Du Hao. Between Feng and Pickaxe, the capital of the emperor also. It is in the forest garden of the imperial palace. ”
Regarding the scale of the Afang Palace, there is such a record in the ancient geography book "Three Auxiliary Yellow Maps": "The Xianyang Palace, because of the Beiling Ying Hall, the End Gate Is reached, the Purple Palace, like the Emperor's Residence." ”
In fact, Qin Shi Huang's motivation for building the Afang Palace was very simple, because after the unification of the Six Kingdoms, most of the old nobles of the Six Kingdoms were moved to Xianyang, making the capital of Xianyang at that time look particularly small.
Qin Shi Huang was a man of great talent and strategy, and since he could unify the world, he could naturally enjoy the most luxurious palace under the heavens and accept the treatment of all states coming to the dynasty.
After he made up his mind to build the Afang Palace, he began to recruit people from all over the world to come to Xianyang to build this unique palace in the world. However, just three years after the start of construction, Qin Shi Huang died of illness.
After the death of Qin Shi Huang, Zhao Gao and Li Si controlled the government, and the Qin Dynasty was suddenly in a state of turmoil. In order to build the Tomb of the First Emperor, the prisoners and servants who built the Afang Palace were arranged to build the Afang Palace. The construction of the Afang Palace was delayed for a while.
After the construction of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, the Chen Sheng Wuguang Uprising broke out, followed by the rise of the world, and finally under the blow of Xiang Yu, the Qin Dynasty was fleeting. Including the Forbidden City of the Six Dynasties, Xiang Yu's fire burned Xianyang City to the ground, and the Afang Palace under construction was not spared.
Successive dynasties after the Han Dynasty abandoned the ancient capital of Xianyang, and Afang Palace became a forgotten palace, and the pieces of broken walls and ruins, in the baptism of more than two thousand years of history, became an eternal memory of an era, and in countless dark nights, it told the joys and sorrows of that era.
After the founding of New China, a series of restoration and protection measures were taken to restore and protect many historical monuments, hoping to restore the historical self-esteem of the Chinese nation.
With the concerted efforts of archaeologists and scientists in other fields, the ruins of Afang Palace have finally been seen in the light of day and have been best protected, and the ruins of Afang Palace have been announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
In the world, the famous palaces of the same era as the Afang Palace can be one of the few, so the protection of the Afang Palace has become a matter of great significance, not only to study the ancient culture of the Qin and Han Dynasties, but also to get many useful lessons from the political situation of the Qin Dynasty.
"Woohoo! Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also non-Qin, and those who destroy the Six Kingdoms are also Qin, and those who are qin are not under the heavens. ...... The Qin people do not have time to mourn for themselves, and the posterity mourns; the posterity mourns and does not learn from it, and also makes the posterity mourn the future generations. Such historical lessons still seem to be a very important wake-up call today.
brief summary
As a "rotten tail project", the historical encounter of Afang Palace is sympathetic, but it is undoubtedly a very fortunate thing to encounter the most prosperous period of the Chinese nation today.
It is believed that in the near future, a brand-new Afang Palace will stand in people's hearts, and the most advanced Han culture and the ambition of the Chinese nation will be engraved on the historical monument, and will be passed down from generation to generation, and the cultural spirit of the Chinese nation will surely affect every corner of the world. Do you say yes?
