Why did the Xingtai Sand Dunes, known as the land of trapped dragons, allow emperors after Qin Shihuang to take a detour?
Introduction: Dadai Village, Guangzong County, Xingtai City, is an extraordinary village. But for thousands of years, countless emperors have not dared to pass by here, because three emperors once died again. Therefore, this small village is also called the Land of Trapped Dragon or Luolong Slope. We don’t know whether it is really so lethal to emperors, but since Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng died here, no emperor has dared to risk passing by here. For thousands of years, this place has become a restricted area for emperors. Below we will explain in detail how this magical land of trapped dragons makes emperors avoid it.
According to local county records: the local soil is sandy and can easily accumulate into mounds, hence the ancient name sand dunes. Although the deserted and dilapidated sand dune site today is an ordinary village, before the Qin Dynasty it was a geomantic treasure. With lush plants and frequent animals, it is a rare place for leisure and health. Therefore, from ancient times to the Qin Dynasty, many political powers had built palaces here.
But such a beautiful place has become a place where dragons are trapped due to the tragic experiences of the three emperors. No emperor dared to build a palace here anymore, so over thousands of years the former prosperous palaces disappeared without a trace. There are only two stone tablets erected by descendants silently telling the prosperity of the past. Three emperors once died here; it was once full of rebellions and conspiracies with swords and swords. The two emperors died here and quickly lost their country. This caused hundreds of subsequent emperors to avoid this place early even if they went on patrol.
The first trapped dragon, Emperor Xin of Shang Zhou
In fact, King Zhou of Shang was not useless. He was not only brave but also achieved good results in the battle against Dongyi. However, frequent battles greatly consumed the Shang Dynasty's national power (? Zhou defeated Dongyi and harmed his body?). In addition, in the late Shang Dynasty, King Zhou of Shang was greedy for pleasure and ignored the government. Directly leading to official corruption, corruption is prevalent. King Zhou of Shang not only implemented harsh punishments, but also indulged in pleasure. In the palace on the sand dune, wine pools and meat forests are arranged to indulge in sexual activities.
"Historical Records of the Yin Dynasty" records: In the Yiguang Sand Dune Garden, many wild animals and birds were taken and placed in it. Slower than ghosts and gods. Daji played music in the sand dunes, using wine as a pond and county meat as a forest
Under the leadership of King Wu of Zhou, various princes took advantage of the emptiness of the main force of the Shang Dynasty and directly attacked Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. King Zhou of Shang was shocked and hurriedly organized slaves to form an army to stop the coalition forces in Muye. As a result, the mob of King Zhou of Shang was defeated in one blow. Emperor Xin saw the situation and went to the Lutai to set himself on fire and died. This is the first death of an emperor associated with the dunes.
The second real "trapped dragon" King Zhao Wuling was starved to death in Sand Dune Palace
King Zhao Wuling was a famous and accomplished monarch during the Warring States Period of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He did not follow the tradition and learned from the Hu people's organizing methods to actually implement the military reforms of "Hu clothing, riding and shooting". The combat effectiveness of Zhao State soared directly, promoting Zhao State to become increasingly powerful. During the reign of King Wuling of Zhao, the powerful Zhao State attacked everywhere to expand its territory. He swallowed Zhongshan, defeated Linhu and Loufan, opened up the three counties of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun, and built the "Zhao Great Wall". A proper Ming Dynasty, and King Zhao Wuling gave the Zen throne to his son King Zhao Huiwen early.
After King Zhao Wuling ascended the throne, he moved into his palace in the sand dunes. The most unclear thing for King Zhao Wuling was that he should not be as half-hearted as Li Yuan. Now that the successor has been established, he should not pay any attention to his other son. Especially since this son was once a prince, this was a recipe for disaster. The former deposed prince Zhao Zhang launched a rebellion in the name of his father and led his troops to attack King Zhao Huiwen. As a result, the rebellion was quickly put down, and Zhao Zhang took refuge in the Sand Dune Palace of King Zhao Wuling.
But King Zhao Huiwen led the army to surround the Dune Palace, and the staff all withdrew from the Dune Palace. But King Wuling of Zhao had no water to drink and no food to eat. Three months later the illustrious emperor starved to death. Let the editor say that King Zhao Wuling did not handle this matter clearly. In an era when monarchy was supreme, since Zhao Zhang rebelled, he must be punished. Since you dare to take him in, it becomes true that Zhao Zhang used his father's name. The rules of the game involving imperial power are cruel, and it was his own fault that King Zhao Wuling starved to death.
"Historical Records of the Zhao Family" records: When the master's father and the king traveled to a different palace in the sand dunes, Gongzi Zhang immediately caused trouble with his disciples and was disrespectful to Tian, and deceived the master's father's order to summon the king... Gongzi Zhang's defeat, Go to Zhufu, Zhufu opens it, Cheng and Duiyin surround Zhufu palace. Young Master Zhang died...all the people in the palace came out. The master's father couldn't get out and couldn't eat, so he ate the king's eagle, and he starved to death in the Sand Dune Palace in more than three months. ?
King Zhao Wuling became the second emperor to die related to Sand Dune, and he died directly in Sand Dune Palace. As the saying goes, only three things can happen. A few decades later, the more famous generation Qin Shihuang died in the sand dunes, which completely confirmed the title of the place where the dragon is trapped in the sand dunes.
The third emperor to die in a sand dune - the famous Qin Shihuang
When it comes to great talents and strategies, Qin Shihuang is definitely one of the best. ?The remaining heroes of the sixth generation vigorously promoted the strategy to control the inner world, swallowed up the princes for two weeks, acted as the supreme and controlled the Liuhe, beat and beat the world, and shocked the world. ?What a glorious achievement this is. It is also a figure that has been written about in the history of our country. Qin Shihuang founded the beginning of a unified dynasty, and his writings and writings were in the same track and he was called Zulong.
How great his achievements were, how shocking it was to see Qin Shihuang collapse on a sand dune. Such a great emperor died in the sand dunes. How could other mediocre emperors not be afraid? In the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign, Qin Shihuang made his last tour in his life. Li Si, Hu Hai, and Zhao Gao accompanied him on the trip, but when they reached the border of Shandong, the Emperor suddenly broke out with heavy troops. So I hurried back and walked slowly and quickly until I was too sick to walk at the Sand Dune Palace. So Qin Shihuang passed the imperial edict and asked Fusu to succeed him, and then died.
The accompanying Zhao Gao and Li Si tampered with the edict for their own benefit and kept the mourning secret. After returning to Xianyang, the deposed prince supported Su and established Hu Hai as emperor. As a result, within a few years, the dominating Qin Empire was brought to a precarious stage. This was the famous Sand Dune Incident in history.
Summary:
Not only did three emperors die in Sand Dune, but two emperors also lost their kingdoms (Di Xin and Qin Shihuang). In the ancient feudal society that emphasized the divine right of kings, this was a huge event. By the time Emperor Qin Shihuang died in the sand dunes, it was known as the place where dragons were trapped in the sand dunes, so no one of the subsequent emperors dared to stay here.
