The first emperor who ruled the world was in power, which can be described as unparalleled in the world, with a series of policies such as books and texts and cars and tracksThe first feudal dynasty in the history of our country was established.
Not only that, but Qin Shi Huang also left countless cultural treasures for future generations:The Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the Great Wall are all world-class top projects.
But there is such a most mysterious projectIt encountered frequent obstacles at the beginning of construction, and finally even became an "unfinished project", even so, after 2000, it can still be rated as "the first in the world" by the United Nations by virtue of its historical aftertaste.
What exactly is this mysterious project?Why is an "unfinished project" called "the first in the world"?
King Qin swept Liuhe, looking at He Xiongzai!
As soon as he became the new king of Qin, he began to prepare to establish his own dynasty!
From 230 BC to 219 BC, it lasted more than ten years, swallowing the remaining six kingdoms successively, becoming the first feudal dynasty in Chinese history!
After the Qin State unified the Six Kingdoms, it did a lot of earth-shattering things, such as cars on the same track, books on the same text, weights and measures, and so onEverything related to the people's lives was "unified", and literature, economy and other aspects were greatly developed, making the Qin Dynasty more powerful.
The society was stable and the people's lives were becoming more and more prosperous, so a large number of civilians poured into Xianyang, forming a huge population size.
When Qin Shi Huang saw this scene, he saw that the streets of Xianyang were already crowdedThe palace left by the former kings no longer conformed to the pattern of the current prosperous era, so he had an idea to rebuild a palace of his own.
"The first emperor thought that there were many people in Xianyang, and the palace of the first king was small, so he was the ...... in the palace of Weinan Shanglin Yuan”
The construction plan of Afang Palace was determined.
The Afang Palace was located between Xianyang and Fengcheng to show the importance and ambition that the Qin Dynasty attached to it.
The main building of Abang Palace, consisting of a palace and an administrative hall, is said to be an area equivalent to several Forbidden Cities.
The overall layout pays great attention to feng shui, and the central axis runs from north to south, facing Yukou, from the Feng River to the Wei River, and traverses the entire territory of the Qin State.
In other words, Qin Shi Huang lived in the Afang Palace and could control everything in the world.
According to historical data, Qin Shi Huang originally planned to build pavilions along the Afang Palace after it was completed, connecting the buildings along the way, and finally connecting the Afang Palace with the Xianyang Palace.
First make the front hall of a room, five hundred steps from east to west, fifty zhang from north to south, you can sit on the top of 10,000 people and you can build a five-zhang flag under it. Zhou Chi is the pavilion road, from His Royal Highness to Nanshan. The top of the South Mountain is considered to be que. For the resumption of the road, from Afang to Wei, belonging to Xianyang, to like the Tianji Pavilion Road to the Han to arrive at the camp room. ”
The Royal Palace"Take magnolia as a beam and a magnet as a door".On the one hand, it is to prevent the killer from carrying weapons into the palace to ensure the safety of Qin Shi Huang;
The second is to show the wonder of the palace's building materials, which can not only deter the ministersIt can also make the Siyi Dynasty feel that the palace is strictly forbidden and the power of heaven is inviolable.
In 212 A.D., the construction of the Afang Palace was officially started.
Such a huge area, I don't know how much manpower and resources will be consumed, and,At that time, Daqin was not only this project, the Great Wall, river canals, etc., all needed to mobilize civilian labor to build.
All the young and middle-aged people were conscripted into the army, leaving only the old and weak women and children behind, and the production efficiency of the Qin State was greatly reduced.
According to the "Historical Records", "More than 700,000 prisoners in the Hidden Palace are divided into Afang Palace, or Yunshan." In other words, when Qin Shi Huang built the Afang Palace, he used more than 700,000 laborers.
Although a lot of manpower and material resources were expended, Qin Shi Huang continued to carry out the project.
Afang Palace, built to show the great strength of the Qin Dynasty,The scale of the palace is so large that it is conceivable that the manpower and material resources required to build such a magnificent palace will be greatly challenged.
It's a pity that this is such a project that Qin Shi Huang had high hopes for, and it was "unfinished" and abandoned for more than 2,000 years.
In 210 B.C., Qin Shi Huang was on his way to the east when he suddenly fell ill.
Although he wanted to live forever, he could only hurriedly arrange his future affairs and set up his son Fusu as the next emperor.
However, Zhao Gao secretly hid this will, and then revised the will with Li Si and made Hu Hai the new emperor.
In order not to be detected by Fusu, the two forged the letter again, causing him to commit suicide, and in the end, Hu Hai became the new monarch of the Qin Dynasty!
After the death of Qin Shi Huang, the construction of Afang Palace also stopped.
However, people did not stop, and the death of Qin Shi Huang made the construction of the Lishan Mausoleum even more urgent.
Qin II also realized the seriousness of this matter, gathered all the workers of Afang Palace, built a mausoleum for his father, and with the joint efforts of countless skilled craftsmen, this mausoleum was finally built.
The Qin Mausoleum was completed in a hurry, and after 4 years of stumbling construction, the front hall of Afang Palace was also hastily completed.
At this time, the rebellion of Chen Sheng and Wu Guangze Township had already set off, and across the country, one peasant uprising after another was set off.
The court of Great Qin was in chaos, and the remnants of the Six Kingdoms also rose rapidly.
Until 207 BC, Zhao Gao rebelled, and there was another peasant rebellion in Lishan, Qin II hid in the east, and finally died in Wangyi Palace.
This huge plan, which lasted for several years, was shelved with the fall of the Qin Dynasty.
After Xiang Yu occupied Xianyang against QinThinking that this Afang Palace was simply made of the bones of the ancestors of the Chu State, and it was a symbol of the tyrannical rule of the Qin State, he decided to burn it down.
The Chu people burned, pitiful scorched earth. ”
In just a few words, a magnificent palace was burned to ashes by the fire, and "fell" like the mighty Qin Dynasty and disappeared into the long river of history.
However, later historians did not find any signs of burning down on the ruins of Afang Palace, and Afang Palace is not complete.
Sima Qian once wrote very clearly in the "Historical Records": Before the Afang Palace was completed, Xiang Yu "slaughtered Xianyang and burned its palace".
It can be seen from this that Xiang Yu has indeed broken through Xianyang City, and has also set a fire in the palaceHowever, the place where the fire burned down was not Afang Palace, but Qin Shi Huang's Xianyang Palace.
At present, it is generally accepted by Chinese academic circles that Afang Palace has not yet been built.
The magnificent landscapes described in Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu" should be from the poet's fantasy, not from reality.
Du Mu's original intention of making this song "A Fang Gong Fu".It is hoped that the monarchs can be persuaded to make less senseless sacrifices, otherwise the Tang Dynasty will be as short as Qin Shi Huang and Qin II.
Du Mu's Afang Palace has become a symbol of symbolic meaning.
If the Afang Palace was built in a good era,Its grandeur will far exceed the description in the poem, and it will also be the most watched place in the world.
Although the palace was not built, it has preserved its original appearance from a long time ago.
In order to prevent it from being damaged, Liu Bang of the Western Han Dynasty divided the surrounding area into Shanglin Yuan.
Afang Palace is very close to Chang'an, it is the best military place in ancient times, Li Shimin once stationed troops here, until later in the Song Dynasty, Afang Palace began to be destroyed.
In 1961, Afang Palace was officially classified as the first batch of national key cultural protection units.
The front hall of Afang Palace is also the largest known rammed-earth building foundation site, in addition, there are also ancient palace ruins such as magnet gates, Lanchi Palace, upper rooftops, altars of sacrifice and Shanglin Garden.
Shanglin Garden was built in the Han Dynasty, the scenery is beautiful, the palace is magnificent, it is a model of the garden in the Qin and Han dynasties, and the "Shanglin Fu" written by Sima Xiangru is the best in ancient and modern times.
It was not until 1991 that UNESCO discovered the existence of Afang Palace and sent an exploration team to our country to conduct research.
After a detailed study, they found that the Afang Palace was the largest ruin of an imperial palace in the world, and there was no second one in the world.
Although it has been completely destroyed in the long river of time, Afang Palace still exists in this world!
At that time, UNESCO listed Afang Palace as the largest palace in the world, called "the first palace in the world"!
As a UNESCO heritage site, it is a popular place for tourists, and what was once unvisited is now a tourist attraction againIt may not be as Ying Zheng wants, but it is definitely a historical treasure.
"Three hundred miles of a house, two thousand years of vastness. ”
Although Afang Palace cannot be regarded as a sin of destroying the country, the construction of Afang Palace did bring great pressure to the Qin people.
To some extent, Afang Palace is one of the symbols of the fall of the Qin Dynasty, because the extravagance of the rulers led to the dishonesty between the state and the people.
The story of Afang Palace is not a wake-up call for future generations.
