"The six kings are finished, the four seas are one, Shushan is Wu, and Afang comes out."
00After Qin Shihuang (259 BC to 210 BC) eliminated the six kingdoms and unified the country, he built a large number of palaces and palaces in Xianyang, the capital city. The largest of the palaces built was Epang Palace. According to the "Historical Records: The Chronicles of Qin Shi Huang", in the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shi Huang (212 BC), Qin Shi Huang believed that there were too many people in Xianyang, the capital, and the palace of the former king was too small, so he ordered a construction project to the south of the Wei River between Feng and Hao, the capital of the Zhou Dynasty. In the royal garden, Shanglin Garden, a new imperial palace was built that imitated the elites of architecture from all over the world. This imperial palace was the famous palace later known as Afang Palace.

In the thirty-fifth year of Qin Shihuang (212 BC), he began to build a court palace, namely Afang Palace, in Shanglin Garden south of the Wei River. Due to the vastness of the project, only one front hall was built during Qin Shihuang's reign. According to the "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor of Qin": "The front hall of Afang is five hundred steps east to west and fifty feet north and south. Ten thousand people can sit on the top, and a flag of five feet can be built below. The pavilion road runs all the way from your highness to the Nanshan Mountain. The top is regarded as Que, and it is a restoration road. It crosses Wei from Afang and belongs to Xianyang. "It is conceivable that it is so large that it wastes people and money. Qin Shihuang died before the project was completed. Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin, transferred the craftsmen of Afang Palace to build the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, and then continued to build Afang Palace, but the Qin Dynasty soon collapsed. There is an ancient nursery rhyme that sings: "A Fang, A Fang, destroy the First Emperor"
It is recorded in "Historical Records: The Chronicles of the First Emperor" in 00
It took Qin Shihuang four years to recruit 700,000 coolies. The rock-solid earth rams were built, but in the end Qin Shihuang never completed the construction of Afang Palace until his death. In order to fulfill the emperor's last wish, Qin II summoned coolies to complete the construction of Afang Palace. At that time, uprisings had begun in various places, and in the end it was still not completed. .
00The description in "Ode to Afang Palace" written by Du Mu only exists in people's imagination, or in other words, Afang Palace was not completed at all.
