Li Bai, "Midnight Wu Song" is a month in Chang'an, and thousands of households pound clothes. The autumn wind blows endlessly, and it is always a jade relationship. He is flat and pretentious, and the beloved man goes on an expedition? Chang'an Avenue is even narrow and sloping, and the green cow and white horse are seven incense cars. The jade chariot crossed the main house, and the golden whip flocked to the Hou family. The dragon title covers the sunrise, and the phoenix spits tassels with the sunset. A hundred zhang gossamer competes around the tree, and a group of delicate birds cry flowers. Yu Gu is in the Qingjiang River under the stage, and there are many people crying in the middle? Looking at Chang'an in the northwest, there are countless mountains in pity. The three mountains are half in the blue sky, and the egret continent is divided into a water. It is always because the clouds can cover the sun, and Chang'an is not worried. When autumn comes on September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The heavenly incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of golden armor. The sound at the end of the dream is outdated, and the three watches still read the poems of that year. Can the autumn cold come from Chang'an? It's too late to remember Chang'an.

This is Guan Yu's favorite two poems in modern times, the poem fully reflects a deep affection for Chang'an, Guan Yu whenever he reads these two poems can't help but imagine what kind of scene Chang'an is, it makes people so concerned, when he stepped on this city, Guan Yufang felt the charm of this city, this is simply a fascinating city, although Chang'an at this time has been destroyed by the war in many aspects, but Chang'an City is still Chang'an City, out of the eastern capital Luoyang This is the second city that makes him sigh.

Guan Yu came to the Weiyang Palace in Chang'an, which was the imperial palace of the Western Han Dynasty in China, and is now located about 3 kilometers northwest of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi, in the southwest of Chang'an, the capital of the Western Han Dynasty. Because it is in the west of Changle Palace, it was called the West Palace in the Han Dynasty. It was built on the basis of Qin Zhangtai in the seventh year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (200 years ago), and moved the capital to Chang'an from Liyang in the same year. After Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty ascended the throne, Weiyang Palace was basically completed and began to become the main palace. Emperor Hui built the city wall from the first year to the fifth year (194~190 BC).

The total area of Weiyang Palace is about 5 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of nearly 7 Forbidden City. (The total area of the Forbidden City is 0.72 square kilometers)

Weiyang Palace is located about 3 kilometers northwest of present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi. It was built in the southwest corner of Chang'an City, which is the highest place in Chang'an City. After Emperor Hui of Han ascended the throne. It began to become the main palace and became the daily living and office of the emperors of the Western Han Dynasty. Its circumference is twenty-eight miles. The front hall is fifty zhang. It is 15 zhang deep and 35 zhang high. In the palace, there are Xuanfu, Qilin, Jinhua, Chengming, Wutai, Gouyi Palace, etc., in addition, there are Shoucheng, Long live, Guangming, Jiaofang, Qingliang, Yongyan, Yutang, Shou'an, Pingzuo, Xuande, Dongming, Suiyu, Phoenix, Tongguang, Qutai, White Tiger, Yilan, Wuyuan and other palaces 32. The foundation of its palace is made of the soil of Longshou Mountain, and the temple base is even higher than Chang'an City. Due to its southwestern location, the name is likely to refer to the central palace located in the southwest. The word Weiyang comes from the Book of Songs: 'How is the night?' Night is not young'. Weiyang: There is no end, the meaning of continuity. "Song of Long Hatred": The return of the pond garden is still the same, and the liquid hibiscus is not Yangliu. Tang also has a palace name Weiyang Palace, but this Weiyang is included in Chang'an City, which is the palace in the palace.

The vast majority of Han Dynasty texts about Weiyang appear in the form of palace names. Moreover, most of them refer specifically to "Weiyang Palace", so these words obviously do not contribute to the investigation of the meaning of Weiyang. In addition to specifically referring to "Weiyang Palace", most of the "Weiyang" in the handed down documents, unearthed documents and unearthed cultural relics appear at the same time as "long live" and "life extension". For example, "the national danger is to release tired eggs, and they are all said to be harmless." Long live Le, or Weiyang"; "The spirit is Yin, the light is rotten, the life is extended, and it will never be young". "Long live" and "prolong life" were popular auspicious words in the Han Dynasty. "Weiyang" appears at the same time as them, and it should also contain auspicious meanings. This is especially evident in the Wadang script of the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty Wadang script is roughly divided into five categories: palaces, official offices, ancestral tombs, auspicious languages, and miscellaneous. In these five categories. Ji languages account for the largest proportion. Ji language tile can be subdivided into four categories: "Long live the thousand autumns" system, "longevity" system, longevity and longevity, and wealth system.

In the Changsheng Weiyang Changle Weiyang system, "Weiyang" usually appears at the same time as "Changsheng", "Changle", "Longevity", "Yishou" and other words. Such as "Changsheng Weiyang", "Changle Weiyang", "Changle Weiyang Longevity Yongshouchang", "Changle Weiyang Longevity Yishouchang" and so on. "Changsheng Weiyang", "Changle Weiyang" auspicious language Wadang, found in all parts of Shaanxi, the late famous Qin and Han history expert Chen Zhi in the "Seven Kinds of Imitation of Lu Cong. It has been clearly pointed out in the Overview of the Qin and Han Wadangs. And "not bound to the two palaces of Weiyang and Changle", but "to take its auspicious language".

This type of writing also appears in large numbers in bronze mirror inscriptions. For example: "Sauvignon Blanc, don't forget." Chang Guifu, Le Weiyang"; "Long live the Thousand Autumns. Changle Weiyang, lovesick. Don't forget"; "Changle Weiyang, Chang Don't Forget", "Fuguichang, Yihou Wang, Le Weiyang", etc., and the bronze mirror with this inscription has been unearthed all over the country. In addition, "Weiyang" is also one of the most common names in Han Jian. As for "Hou" and "slave", there are people with this name. This shows that in the Han Dynasty, "Weiyang" and "Changle" were auspicious words used by all strata of the country. As an auspicious language, the meaning of "Changle" is very easy to understand, that is, "long happiness" and "eternal happiness".

And the meaning of "Weiyang" is not very clear. There are several pieces of the "Chicken" chapter of the Han Jian's "Book of Days" that record the materials used to sacrifice the blood of chickens to the gods of the land. Its content is the first of its kind. One of them is simply as follows: "This (female) is not (no) central (harm) evil, male (none) is blocked, so that the chicken does not die, old, and dedicates its greatest." The "central" and "disaster" in the brief text are connected. "Disaster" refers to calamity and calamity. "Evil" refers to disasters and evils, and Uzl also writes "evil" as "yang" in Yunmeng, Sleeping Tiger, Qin Jian's "Book of Days", and there are many simple texts that write "evil" as "yang".

For example, "it is the stomach (predicate) and (have) a small reversal, and there is no (no) big central (disaster)". The concept corresponding to "yang" (殃) in Yunmeng Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Jian is "sheep" (auspicious) or "恙" (祥). In the first type of the "Book of Days", there is even a brief text that seeks to "do not be central", that is, to avoid disasters: "Fun (tendency) out, not out today, with peony knife skin and clothing, then there is no (no) central (disaster)." From this point of view, it was quite common for "yang" and "殃" to be connected in the Qin and Han dynasties, and Mr. Chen Zhi clearly pointed out that the abbreviation of the character "殃" was "yang", which was "the most common abbreviated character in the Han Dynasty".

At this point, the meaning of "Weiyang" is not difficult to understand. "Weiyang" means that there is no disaster, no disaster, no disaster. In addition, according to the literature, the Han Dynasty's Fang Shi An Cheng once wrote the book "Waiting for the Edict An Cheng Weiyang Shu". An became a monk, so that he could be praised as a fairy and supernatural. Weiyang is the immortal immortal technique. Judging from the literature, immortal immortality was very popular in the Han Dynasty. Open the "Historical Records" and "Book of Han", there are many characters of the Han Dynasty named after auspicious languages such as longevity, longevity, Qianqiu, Wannian, and Shouchang. The Han people liked to name it, reflecting the prevalence of social thought at that time in pursuit of immortality and longevity. And this point is obviously inseparable from the various actions of the prevailing gods and magicians at that time, the rulers trusted the alchemists, and pursued immortality. Emperor Qin and Han Wu hoped for immortality, listened to the words of the immortal monks, and did not hesitate to be deceived many times, spending huge financial resources and manpower to seek and refine the elixir of immortality. Although none of them escaped death in the end, their actions had a huge impact on Qin and Han society. The average middle- and lower-class people have neither the manpower nor the financial resources to seek the so-called elixir of immortality, so they have to place their hopes for longevity and eternal life through auspicious names such as "prolonging life", "prolonging life", "ten thousand years", and "Qianqiu".

It is worth noting that the association of Weiyang with the immortal magic is also reflected in the bronze mirror inscriptions. Such as: "Go up the mountain, see the gods, eat Yuying, drink Liquan gold (spring), Yiguan rank, Bao descendants, Changle Weiyang, Fuguichang, give (with) the sky Wuji, drive non (flying) dragons, by (floating clouds)" and so on. Combined with the special context in which "Weiyang" appears at the same time as the common auspicious language and auspicious words such as "Changle", "longevity", "long live" and "immortal", it is not difficult to see that "Weiyang" contains the meaning of no disaster, peace, longevity, and longevity. If the "Changle Palace" of the Han Dynasty can be understood as "Happy Palace" and "Happy Palace", then "Weiyang Palace" can be understood as "Peace Palace" and "Changsheng Palace". Only in this way can it conform to the ideological concepts of the Han Dynasty people and the language habits of "Changle" and "Weiyang".

Chang'an was the capital of the Western Han Dynasty in China, and it was expanded on the basis of the Xingle Palace of the Qin Dynasty. The north wall is built according to the Weishui, and the south wall also changes according to the palace wall. The main buildings in the city are palaces, among which Changle Palace and Weiyang Palace are the most famous.

Han Weiyang Palace is the place where the Han Dynasty's monarchs and ministers met. The overall layout is rectangular and surrounded by walls. The east and west walls are 2,150 meters long, the north and south walls are 2,250 meters long, the whole palace area is about 5 square kilometers, accounting for about one-seventh of the total area of the city, the longer music palace is slightly smaller, but the magnificence of the building itself is excessive.

According to records, there is a palace gate on each side, only the east gate and the north gate have que. There are more than 40 rooms in the palace, there are six hills and a number of pools, nearly 100 large and small portals, and there is a pavilion road between the Changle Palace. The remains of the building found today include the front hall in the center, the front hall is about 200 meters wide from east to west, about 350 meters long from north to south, and the highest point is 15 meters. According to the survey, the front hall is in the middle of the whole palace, and its pedestal is caused by using the hills of Longshou Mountain. The ruins of the second palace are in the north of the front hall, and the third palace site is in the northwest of the front hall. According to the unearthed relics, it is inferred that the former is the harem where the concubine lives, and the latter belongs to the official office of the palace. What is more special is that there are many tunnels dug under the rammed earth foundation of the No. 2 palace, and its walls are pilasters, the walls are coated with grass and mud and plastered with white plaster, and the ground is paved with bricks.

Weiyang Palace was built shortly after the restoration of Changle Palace, which was built by Han Gaozu after being called the emperor, and was supervised by Xiao He, an important minister of Liu Bang. Since the Weiyang Palace was built, the emperors of the Han Dynasty have lived here, so its fame far exceeds that of other palaces. In the poetry of later generations, Weiyang Palace has become synonymous with the Han Palace. The whole palace is composed of more than 40 palaces such as Chengming, Qingliang and Jinhua. The front hall of Weiyang Palace was built in the north and west of the main gate in the south, and the ruins of the Han Weiyang Palace still have the tall rammed earth platform foundation at that time.

After the Western Han Dynasty, the city of Chang'an in the Han Dynasty was still used by Wang Mang's new dynasty as the capital, during this period, Weiyang Palace experienced many ups and downs, several disasters, its experience is very closely related to the changes in Chinese history and the change of dynasties.
