We all know the Seven Wonders of the World, there are egyptian pyramids, the Great Wall of China, the Babylonian Hanging Gardens, etc., but in fact, there is a place in China that can be called the eighth wonder. But compared to the other seven, this miracle is the most unsuitable, because it was never built! The rotten projects in our lives are often caused by insufficient funds and other reasons, resulting in the project being abandoned halfway or incomplete repair. But this one we are talking about today is good, and even the workers have simply run to build another building, and this delay has dragged on for more than two thousand years. China's largest "rotten tail project" has not been completed for more than 2,000 years! Named a "Wonder of the World" by the United Nations!
It is understood that now this "rotten tail project" has become a key protected area, what "rotten tail project" has such a big face? In fact, as long as he says his name, almost every Chinese says it, which is the Afang Palace, which is known as the "first palace under the heavens". Mention of Afang Palace, everyone knows that this is a new imperial palace built during the Qin Dynasty, which also makes Afang Palace, the Great Wall of Ten Thousand Miles, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the Qin Straight Road called Qin Shi Huang the "Four Major Projects"!
Afang Palace belongs to one of the world's wonders and famous sites, dating back nearly two thousand years, and according to some archaeologists, Afang Palace was not completely built during the reign of Qin Shi Huang, and only a foundation was completed that year. However, people did not expect that the next year Qin Shi Huang died suddenly, but the Qin Emperor's mausoleum was not yet completed, and after Qin II succeeded to the throne, most of the people who built the Afang Palace were transferred to the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum to fill in the soil. In 209 BC, after the construction of the main body of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang was completed, Hu Hai ordered the continuation of the reconstruction of Afang Palace in order to fulfill Qin Shi Huang's last wishes, but soon after the resumption of work, the people were not happy. The people's grievances boiled over, and for a time there was chaos all over the country. After Liu Bang invaded Xianyang, the construction of the Afang Palace could only be forced to stop.
Successive dynasties after the Han Dynasty abandoned the ancient capital of Xianyang, and Afang Palace became a forgotten palace. In the baptism of more than two thousand years of historical wind and rain, the fragments of the broken walls and ruins have become the eternal memory of an era, and in countless dark nights, they tell 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
Today, it is not only a national key cultural relics protection unit, but also the United Nations has identified it as the site of the world's largest palace. In fact, not only Afang Palace, but also many regrettable palaces in China, such as Daming Palace, Yuanmingyuan, etc., and whether they are now well preserved or have become ruins, this is the "treasure" of the Chinese nation! China's largest "rotten tail project" has not been completed for more than 2,000 years! Named a "Wonder of the World" by the United Nations! What do you think about that?
