277, Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City
"Hmmm! It's out of the way! Gu Xitian still said proudly, "He just saw you, but that doesn't mean that you set the fire." And his words have no basis, and he alone cannot convince the people! In any case, his family is gone, the family is ruined, and all their farm house slaves will not be ours by then? Hahaha......"
"Big brother! As for attacking Wannian Village? ……”
"We will discuss this matter after we understand it! Now let's move back to camp! After Gu Xitian finished speaking, he led all his subordinates to return to Xishan Villa overnight.
The north wind is still blowing strongly, and the smoke of the fire in the Yejia manor has long filled the entire mountains and forests in the eastern part of Bashu. Even the crows and cuckoos in the mountains and forests have been disturbed by the fire and smoke, and they are so frightened that they flutter and fly southeast...... "Looking at Chang'an in the northwest, pity countless mountains." The green mountains can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward. ”
This is the horror of the fire: the Yejia Manor, although it is not as good as the Afang Palace of the First Emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty and the Old Summer Palace of the Later Qing Dynasty, it has suffered even worse than them! If the big Yejia manor, it has been burned down and lost!
Therefore, later generations have the movie stories of "Burning Afang Palace" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace". For this reason, I Shan Tianfang and you will recall this ancient and magnificent poem of "Burning Afang Palace":
A Fang Gongfu (Tang Du Mu)
Six kings, four seas one; Shushan Wu, A Fang out. Covering more than 300 miles, isolated from the sky. Lishan is constructed in the north and folds in the west, and goes straight to Xianyang. The two rivers dissolve and flow into the palace wall. 5 steps on the first floor, 10 steps on the first floor; The corridor waist is back, and the eaves teeth are pecked; Each hugs the terrain, and fights with each other. Pan Pan Yan, embarrassed, beehive water vortex, I don't know how many tens of millions of them fall! Long Bridge Lying Wave, Weiyun He Long? The road is empty, not He Hong? High and low mystery, I don't know the west and the east. The song platform is warm, and the spring is harmonious; The dance hall has cold sleeves, and the wind and rain are miserable. In one day, between one house, and the climate is uneven.
Concubines and concubines, princes and grandsons, resigned from the palace downstairs, came from Qin, sang the night strings, and were from the Qin palace. star screen, open makeup mirror also; Green clouds disturb, comb Xiaofu also; Weiliu is greasy, and the fat water is also discarded; The smoke is slanting and the fog is horizontal, and the pepper orchid is also burned. Thunder and fright, palace car also; Listen from afar, but don't know what it's about. One muscle and one face, full of beauty, standing far-sighted, and looking at luck; There is no one who does not see, thirty-six years. Yan and Zhao Zhi's collection, Han and Wei's management, Qi and Chu's elites, several generations, plundered their people, and leaned on them like mountains. Once you can't have it, you lose it. Dingdang jade, gold nuggets and beads, discarded and thrown, the Qin people regarded it, and did not regret it.
Whew! The heart of one person, the heart of tens of thousands. Qin loves luxury, and people also miss their home; How can I take all the baht and use it like mud and sand? so that the pillars of the negative building are more than the farmers of the south acres; There are more rafters than workers on the plane; nail head phosphorus, more than in the millet grains; The tile seams are uneven, more than the silk strands around the body; Straight railings and horizontal sills, more than the city of the nine earths; The orchestra is dumb, more than the words of the city. so that the people of the world dare not speak but dare to be angry; The heart of a single husband is becoming more and more arrogant. The pawn called, Hangu Ju; The Chu people are burned, and the poor scorched earth is pitiful.
Alack! Those who destroy the Six Kingdoms, the Six Kingdoms, not Qin. The clan Qin, Qin, not the world. Whew! If each of the six nations loves his own people, it will be enough to reject Qin; If Qin Fu loves the people of the Six Kingdoms, then the third generation can be the king of all generations, who will be wiped out? The Qin people have no time to mourn themselves, and future generations mourn them; Posterity mourns but does not learn from it, and makes posterity mourn for posterity.
The annotation of the translation explains the background of appreciation: the monarchs of the six kingdoms perished, and the whole country (for Qin) was unified; The mountains (the trees were cut down) in Shu were bare, and the Afang Palace was built. It covers more than 300 miles of ground, and isolates the sun. It is built from Lishan to the north, and then turns west to Xianyang. Weishui and Fanchuan are mighty and flowed into the palace wall. Five steps to a building, ten steps to a pavilion; The corridors linger like ribbons, and the teeth-like cornices peck high like a bird's beak. The pavilions are built according to the slope of the terrain, (the lower corners) are hooked to the center (of the higher places), and the corners (side by side) are fighting against each other. The complex of buildings is like a dense beehive, like a swirling whirlpool, towering high, not knowing that it has tens of millions. It turned out to be a long bridge lying on the water waves, and there were no clouds, why were there dragons? It turned out that the overpass was walking in the air, not that the rain had passed and the sky was clear, why did it go out of the rainbow? (The house) is high and low, deep and confusing, so that people cannot distinguish things. The stage is full of warmth because of the loud singing, like a spring light; The dance hall was full of chill due to the fluttering sleeves, like a wind and rain. In one day, in the middle of a palace, the climate is different.
The palace concubines of the Six Kingdoms, the princes and the grandsons, bid farewell to the palace buildings of the Six Kingdoms, walked down the palaces of the Six Kingdoms, and came to the Qin State by chariot, they sang in the morning and played music in the evening, becoming the palace people of the Qin State. The bright stars are shining brightly, which is the mirror in which the palace concubines have opened their dressing; The dark green clouds disturbed one after another, this is the palace concubines combing their morning makeup buns; Weishui rose a layer of greasy, which was the rouge water abandoned by the palace concubines; The smoke rises obliquely, and the clouds and mist surround the sky, which is the spice made of pepper and orchid that is being burned in the palace. The thunder suddenly shook, and it was the palace car that drove past; The sound of the wheeling car became farther and farther away, and there was no trace of it, and I didn't know where it went. Every piece of skin, every face, is so beautiful and coquettish. The palace concubines stood for a long time, visiting from afar, looking forward to the emperor's coming. Some palace maids failed to see the emperor for thirty-six years. The gold and jade collected by Yan and Zhao, the treasures of Korea and Wei, and the essence of Qi and Chu have been plundered from their people for many generations and years, and stacked like mountains. It couldn't be kept all of a sudden, and it was all transported to Afang Palace. Baoding was treated as an iron pot, beautiful jade was treated as a stubborn stone, gold was treated as a clod of soil, and pearls were treated as gravel.
Alas! The will of one person is the will of tens of millions of people. Emperor Qin loved prosperity and luxury, and the people also cared for their own homes. Why is it that when you plunder treasures, you can even scavenge them cleanly, and spend them like mud and sand? Emperor Qin was so extravagant and wasteful that there were more pillars than farmers in the fields; There are more rafters on the beams than there are women workers on the loom; The nail heads on the beams and pillars were more brilliant than the millet in the granary; Corrugated is of different lengths, more than the strands of silk on the whole body; There are more straight or horizontal railings than the castles of Kyushu; The sound of the orchestra was noisy, more than the words of the citizens. so that the people of the world dare not speak with their mouths, but they dare to be angry in their hearts; (However) the thoughts of Qin Shi Huang, who had lost all the people's hearts, became more proud and stubborn day by day. (As a result) Chen Shi and Wu Guang on the border shouted, Hangu Pass was captured, and Chu Xiangyu set a fire, but unfortunately (the gorgeous Afang Palace) turned into a scorched earth.
Alas! It was the Six Kingdoms themselves that destroyed the Six Kingdoms, not the Qin State. It was the Qin Dynasty itself that destroyed the Qin Dynasty, not the people of the world. Alas! If each of the six kingdoms loved its people, it could have relied on the people to resist the Qin state. If the Qin Dynasty loves the people of the Six Kingdoms, then it will be passed on to the third generation in order and can be passed on to the ten thousand generations as the emperor, who can destroy it? The Qin Dynasty fell too quickly) The Qin people did not have time to mourn themselves, but later generations mourned him; If future generations mourn him but do not use him as a mirror to learn a lesson, it will only make future generations mourn this future generation.
This is how the fire of the world burns an ancient city. Why do you think so, why not do it? Am I not right? Not only the ancient city, but also the ancient books and the ancients, didn't they also burn down?
