It is west of Tuifu, east of Zhangfanggou, bordered by Luoshui in the south and Mangshan Mountain in the north. It is two miles from east to west and fifteen miles from north to south, and is named Shouchiuli, where the emperor lived, was known as Wangzifang among the people. ?
At that time, the world was in the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Wastelands were in charge of their duties, the sacks were carried to commemorate the celebrations, the jade candles were used to adjust the time, the people were in Yinfu, and they were enjoying themselves every year. A widower and widower cannot smell the food of dogs and hogs, and a lonely man cannot see the clothing of oxen and horses. Therefore, the princes, princes, and princesses of the imperial family, who were good at the wealth of mountains and seas, lived in the richness of rivers and forests, competed to build gardens and houses, and competed with each other. There are many rooms in Chongmen, and the rooms are connected to each other. The flying pavilion is windy, and the heavy building is foggy. There are high terraces and pavilions built by each family; there are flower groves and meandering pools in gardens. All peach and plum are green in summer, and bamboo and cypress are holly green. ?
And Wang Chen in Hejian was the most powerful and often competed with Gao Yang. Wenbai Hall was built, shaped like Huiyin Hall. Set up a gold pot in the jade well and use the five colors of gold as a rope. There are three hundred prostitutes, all of whom are of national beauty; there is a maidservant who is good at playing the flute and can sing songs for the group and the dragon. Chen was the governor of Qinzhou, and the Qiang rebelled. They repeatedly attacked him but refused to surrender. Chen ordered Chaoyun to pretend to be a poor woman and beg while playing the chi. When all the Qiang people heard this, they all shed tears and asked each other one after another: "Why are you abandoning the tomb well and becoming a bandit in the valley?" Then they surrendered. The people of Qin said: "A good horse player in Shaanxi is not as good as an old woman playing the chi." Chen mostly had no political achievements in Qinzhou. He sent envoys to the Western Regions to ask for famous horses. They came as far as Persia and got a thousand-mile horse named "Chasing the Wind Chiji". There are more than ten horses within seven hundred miles each time, and they all have names. Use silver as the groove and gold as the locking ring. The kings obeyed his wealth. Chen Changyu said: "Shi Chong of the Jin Dynasty is a commoner, but he is still capable of pheasant head, fox armpit, painting eggs and carving wood. How about I, the king of the Wei Dynasty, don't want to be extravagant?" He built the Yingfeng Pavilion in the back garden. Above the door, there are coins and green threads, jade phoenixes holding bells, and golden dragons spitting out their pendants. There are plain red and plum trees, the branches are in the eaves, and the prostitutes are upstairs, sitting and picking food. ?
Chen Changhui's clan displays all kinds of treasures, including more than a hundred gold vases and silver urns, and they are called ou, kettle, plate, and box. The remaining wine vessels include dozens of crystal bowls, agate cups, glass bowls, and red jade bowls. The workmanship is wonderful, there is nothing like it in China, they all come from the Western Regions. Also Chen Nu Le and various famous horses. Then the kings were introduced to the treasury, and they were filled with brocade, pearls, jade, ice, mist, and mist. Embroidery, valerian, bamboo, damask, silk, color, Yue, kudzu, money, silk, etc. are countless. Chen suddenly said to King Rong of Zhangwu: "If you don't hate me for not seeing Shi Chong, you hate Shi Chong for not seeing me!" It is close to Luoshui in the south and Mangshan in the north. It is two miles wide from east to west and fifteen miles long from north to south. It is generally named "Shouqiuli". This is the place where the emperor's family lives, and the people call it Wangzifang. ?
At that time, the country was stable and peaceful, and the remote tribes in all directions abided by their duties. Articles and writings recorded the country's auspicious celebrations, and the sun shone brightly to regulate the wind and rain. The people were prosperous, the crops were harvested, and the folk customs were happy. I have never heard of poor and helpless people eating food meant for pigs and dogs. I have never seen lonely and helpless people wearing clothes meant for cows and horses. At this time, the emperor's clan, princes, princes, relatives and princesses occupied places with rich products and beautiful scenery. They compete to build garden houses, show off to each other, and compete for luxury. There are big houses with tall doors and deep inner houses. The houses are connected to the houses. The huge buildings tower into the sky, as if the wind comes from them and the fog rises from them. Every house has built tall towers and fragrant pavilions; every garden has flowers, trees and curved ponds. There is no place where peaches and plums are green in summer, and bamboos and cypresses are evergreen in winter. ?
Hejian Wang Yuanchen ranked first in luxury. He often competed with Gaoyang King in luxury. He built Wenbai Hall, which was shaped like Huiyin Hall in the palace. A well made of jade and a water jar made of gold were built, and five-color gold wire was twisted into a well rope. He raised three hundred singing prostitutes and dancers, all of whom were the most beautiful women in the country. There was a maid named Chaoyun who was good at playing the chi and could sing the round fan song of Wu and the tunes of Longshang. When Yuan Chen was the governor of Qinzhou, the Qiang people rebelled in the border areas. Yuan Chen conquered them many times, but they did not surrender. So Yuan Chen ordered Chao Yun to dress up as a poor old woman and play the chi chi to beg. When the Qiang people heard the nostalgic chirping sound, they all shed tears and said one after another: "Why do we have to leave our ancestral graves and our hometown to live in this valley?" Are you a bandit here?" Immediately they came to surrender one by one. As the Qin folk saying goes: "A soldier riding a fast horse is not as good as an old woman playing the chi."?
When Yuan Chen was the governor of Qinzhou, he had very little political achievements. However, he sent envoys to the Western Regions to look for famous horses. They found a thousand-mile horse as far away as Persia and called it "Chasing the Wind Chiji". There were more than ten good horses that could travel seven hundred miles a day, and they were all given names. He made a manger of silver and chains of gold. All the princes admired his wealth. Yuan Chen often told people: "Shi Chong of the Jin Dynasty was just a wealthy man with the surname of common people. He could also wear clothes made of pheasant hair and fox armpit skin, draw pictures on the eggs he ate, and carve patterns on the firewood he burned. Besides, shouldn't I, the descendant of the King of Wei, enjoy luxury and luxury?" So the Yingfeng Pavilion was built in the back garden. The doors and windows in the museum are carved with coin patterns and green comic strips. The buildings are inlaid with jade phoenixes holding bells and golden dragons holding ornaments. Branches filled with white apples and red plums stretch out to the eaves, and the singing girls and dancers sit upstairs to pick and eat. ?
Yuan Chen once invited relatives and friends of the royal family to his home for a gathering and displayed all kinds of precious utensils. There were more than a hundred gold vases and silver urns, and the same number of precious urns, pots, plates, and boxes. . The remaining wine vessels include dozens of crystal bowls, agate cups, glass bowls, and red jade bowls. The workmanship is unique and ingenious, something not found in China, and they all come from the Western Regions. Singing girls, dancers and various famous horses are also on display.
Then he led the princes on a tour to visit the property warehouse. Gorgeous felts, precious pearls, and silk fabrics as transparent as ice and light as mist were piled in the warehouse. Embroidery, valerian, silk, damask, silk, color, Yue cloth, Gebu, money, silk, etc. are too numerous to count.
Yuan Chen suddenly said to Zhangwu Wang Yuanrong: "I don't regret that I didn't see Shi Zui's wealth, but it's a pity that Shi Chong didn't see my wealth!"
